DUI Lawyer serving Students of CU Denver, Metro State College and the University of Denver

Whether you are an adult or person under the age of 21, driving while intoxicated is a serious offense that can result in a variety of penalties. An adult driver is considered legally intoxicated if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or greater. A BAC over 0.05% but below 0.08% will result in charges of driving while ability impaired (DWAI). Drivers under 21 with a BAC of 0.02% but less than 0.05% are also subject to arrest for driving under the influence. For those who are students in the above schools and who find themselves facing a DUI arrest, a DUI attorney from Law Office of Christopher H. Cessna can help you find out what your best legal options are. A skilled lawyer from the firm can explain the DUI process and the steps you can take to fight the charges against you.

DUI penalties for an adult driver can include jail time, fines, community service, mandatory alcohol treatment, points accrued on the driving record, and the loss of driving privileges. A motor vehicle operator under 21 that has been found guilty of drunk driving will be facing license suspension for 3 months if it is a first offense, 6 months if it is a second offense or 1 year if it is a third offense, in addition to fines, public service, alcohol counseling, and points against their driving record.

When a person accumulates 12 or more points on their DMV record, their license will be automatically suspended for one year. If you use your vehicle for work, to attend school or other important commitments, the loss of your driving privileges can create considerable hardships.
