Longmont DUI/DWAI
Criminal Defense Attorney in Longmont
Being pulled over is a stressful occurrence no matter the situation, but when you are a suspect of being under the influence while driving then it becomes even more frightening. However, just because you have had a few drinks does not mean you are automatically guilty of driving under the influence, there is a legal limit to consider and there are procedures the arresting officer must follow.
Many times, the experience takes hold and individuals are not able to physically or mentally respond to the stress of being pulled over. If you have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI)/driving while ability impaired (DWAI) in the state of Colorado you will need an aggressive DUI attorney to protect your rights. Contact our attorneys today for the representation you deserve.
DUI/DWAI Penalties
The legal limit for being intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle is .08%, depending on your weight class this means you may be able to have more or less to drink before no longer being able to operate a vehicle. In addition, when being pulled over the officer must have a reasonable suspicion that you are breaking the law before pulling you over and must follow a strict procedure if he suspects you are intoxicated above the legal limit.
Regardless, it is important to note that a DUI/DWAI is a serious criminal offense that often comes with a license suspension, jail time, and a hefty fine. The penalties could even be harsher if there was a fatality, property damage, or if this was not your first offense.
