Your Source for Legal Help Following Drug DUI Charges
The Denver Lawyers with the Experience to Provide Your Best-Possible Defense
Drug DUI charges and penalties are highly similar to DUI charges involving alcohol. Legal consequences can include:
- Driver's license suspension
- Jail time or, sometimes, home detention
- A year or more of probation
- Monitored sobriety and mandatory alcohol/drug testing
- Fines
- Extended license suspension for multiple offenses and, for commercial drivers, a lifetime loss of a commercial driver's license (CDL)
Though convictions can bring serious consequences, there are often numerous effective defense options following drug DUI charges. For instance:
- Drug levels and their effect on driving abilities vary from person to person. Were you really impaired?
- Drug DUI charges involve different drugs and different drug quantities. Did the arresting police officer accurately understand the situation? Did he or she correctly determine whether you were impaired? Did he or she receive proper training?
- Was a drug recognition expert (DRE) consulted? Was one on the scene?
Uniform factors in alcohol-related DUI cases allow for many agreed-upon procedures in drunk driving cases. Drug DUI cases, however, are highly scientific, and experts are often needed to achieve a successful conviction. And most times experts are needed for the defense to show that you were not intoxicated. We have worked successfully with many experts to get our clients their desired results.
