Colorado DUI Penalties

If you have been arrested on DUI charges, it’s important to obtain experienced and aggressive defense representation.   Without proper defense, DUI charges can easily result in a conviction, which will then result in a number of DUI penalties.  If convicted of DUI, you can expect to face the following penalties:

1st DUI Conviction

  • Up to 1 year in jail
  • $300-$1,000 in fines
  • 48 to 96 hours of community service

2nd DUI Conviction

  • 10 days to 1 year in jail
  • $500-$1,500
  • 60 to 120 hours of community service

DUI Conviction with Prior DWAI Conviction

  • $450-$1,500 in fines
  • 56 to 112 hours of community service
