Out of State Drivers and DUI Cases

Are you an out-of-state resident who was arrested for DUI while visiting Colorado? If so, it’s important to seek the representation of an experienced and tested Metro Denver DUI attorney who has experience defending non-Colorado residents.   Even though you are not a resident of Colorado, it’s important to take your DUI charges seriously, since you will still be required to go to court and address your charges in Colorado.

In fact, Colorado law actually treats non-resident DUI defendants differently than it does in-state residents.  So it is vital that you contact a qualified Colorado DUI attorney immediately.  If you do not contact an attorney within 7 days of your arrest you could forfeit numerous advantages and rights - especially in regards to your ability to drive.

After you’ve been arrested for DUI, you will receive a summons notifying you of the charges being brought against you.  Furthermore, the police officer will confiscate your driver’s license and issue you an “Affidavit and Notice of Revocation.”  Since Colorado has agreements with almost all other states, a driver’s license revocation in Colorado will likely lead to a license suspension in your home state.  This is why it’s so important to ensure your Colorado DUI is taken care of immediately and properly.

If you do not take care of your DUI matters in Colorado, the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles will place your license on hold with the National Drivers Registry.  This means you will be prevented from renewing your license or getting a new driver’s license in most states, including your own!  Furthermore, by ignoring your charges, an arrest warrant may also be issued in your name.   The best way to avoid these penalties is by contacting an experienced DUI lawyer in Denver who knows how to properly defend out-of-state drivers facing DUI charges in Colorado.
