Criminal Law & DUI

Our criminal defense and Colorado DUI attorneys are here to help you when it matters the most - when the subject of the lawsuit is you.

 

Unlike other lawsuits seeking money or property, the purpose of charging you criminally is to find you guilty of a crime and to punish you by fine or imprisonment. Once a conviction is entered against you, the impact is permanent. You cannot seal or expunged a conviction  -  you will have a criminal record forever.

 

The following are presumptive prison sentences for misdemeanors:

Class 1 Misdemeanors: 6-18 months
Class 2 Misdemeanors: 3-12 months
Class 3 Misdemeanors: 0-6 months

 

The following are presumptive prison sentences for felonies:

Class 1 Felony: Life imprisonment or death
Class 2 Felony: 8 - 24 years
Class 3 Felony: 4 - 12 years
Class 4 Felony: 2 - 6 years
Class 5 Felony: 1 - 3 years
Class 6 Felony: 1 year - 18 months

 

Aggravated sentences can add up to twice the presumptive maximum sentence.

 

Colorado takes DUIs, DWAIs, misdemeanors and felonies seriously, and you should always seek the advice of a competent attorney. Contact us for a free consultation to learn how we can meet your legal needs.
