Experienced  Denver DUI Attorney

10 Questions to Ask When Selecting a Denver DUI AttorneyA Must Read for Anyone Looking to Hire a DUI Lawyer:

Many attorneys handle DUIs, and most claim to have "experience," but only a relative few really have the necessary scientific background, formal scientific training and actual DUI experience to effectively defend one of these complex scientific cases.  If it is important to you to be a wise consumer when hiring a DUI lawyer then you must read the " 10 Questions To Ask When Selecting a DUI Attorney ," (see above right) and visit Mr. Cessna's  Attorney Profile page to review his formal background. If other attorneys don't have this scientific background then you must ask yourself how they can help you beat the scientific evidence that the government has against you in the form of chemical breath testing, blood testing, and standardized field sobriety testing.

You should also give consideration to an attorney's fee structure.  You can find an attorney who will "handle" your DUI for $500.  But you need to ask yourself, and better yet, ask them what can they possibly do for you if they put such a low value on their "experience" and ability.  Especially when a defense involves challenging the  government's scientific evidence - "you get what you pay for," and a wise consumer needs to research an attorney's formal training and background of experience against what they charge.  Mr. Cessna freely displays his background and experience, and encourages you to read all about it on this website.  Then give us a call to find out how his experience can help you with your case.

What to Look For When Hiring Your Denver DUI Attorney:

Every lawyer you speak with is going to tell you that his qualifications are more than acceptable for the defense of your DUI case. What they probably won't tell you however is that the difference between "handling DUI cases" and being a  Certified Expert in DUI defense are entirely different things. Most criminal defense lawyers take DUI cases pretty regularly being that they are one of the most common offenses prosecuted. That said, the vast majority of them spend very little time training each year and learning the subtle details of what it takes to consistantly win at trial and negotiations with prosecutors. When hiring a lawyer for your DUI case, be sure to ask the following:

  1. How much of your practice is devoted to DUI Defense?
  2. How many DUI trials have you defended?
  3. Are you a member of the National College of DUI Defense?
  4. What types of certifications and training do you have?
  5. Do you own an Intoxilyzer device? Are You properly trained to use it?
  6. How many DUI seminars to you attend each year?
  7. Have you ever lectured to other DUI attorneys about DUI defense tactics?
  8. Are you in good standing with the Bar Assoication? Have you ever been sactioned?
  9. Have you been properly trained in chemical breath and blood testing?
  10. How much experience do you have serving the local Metro Denver courts?

The answers you receive to each of these questions will give you a fairly good understanding of whether the attorney is qualified to handle your DUI case. If you would like to speak directly with Mr. Cessna about any of these topics and learn more about how relevant they are to your case, please contact our office and schedule a free consultation. Even if you need a second opinion on hiring a lawyer and would like to put apples to apples, please give us a call.

Why You Need to Protect  Your Rights - NOT PLEADING GUILTY TO DUI

Most individuals arrested for a DUI or other alcohol related charges believe that they are automatically guilty at the point of arrest. They believe that fighting the charge is futile and a waste of money. Their friends may tell them, "save your money, plead guilty, and just 'get it over with'". This happens so often that in some cases, people will outright plead to the offense during the arrest process or confess to the police officer at the scene. Because of the enormous amount of evidence that must be presented during a DUI case, I can assure you that there is nothing open and shut about a DUI arrest. Police agencies and prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty of the charge. This puts the burden of proof on their shoulders. They must not only knock down years of evidence suggesting the inaccuracies of blood and breath tests, they must also prove that outside elements did not factor into your impairment. They must prove timelines, show competence, provide the validity of  testing results, witnesses, probable cause, and a host of other factors before a jury can find you guilty. It is because of these factors that you must remain silent during your arrest and hire a  DUI defense attorney that focuses exclusively on these charges. It is not your job to determine your innocence. It is the prosecution's job to prove their case. DO NOT make the case for them.  Protect your rights and hire a DUI lawyer that will aggressively defend you.
