Can You Afford To Plead Guilty To DUI?

While DUI arrests are common occurrences, there are few events than can create a greater economic hardship in your life. The truth is, most people simply can't afford to plead guilty to a DUI charge.

I am DUI defense attorney Andres Guevara. If you have been charged with driving under the influence in the Denver area, I offer a free initial consultation to answer your questions about the consequences you face as well as the possible defenses. Call me now at 888-265-0044.

Consequences of a DUI Conviction

The short-term consequences of a DUI conviction are significant: substantial fines, driver's license suspension and possible jail time. However, the long-term consequences can be even greater.

Anyone convicted of a DUI faces thousands of dollars in driver's license surcharges and high-risk insurance fees for up to three years after a conviction. A DUI conviction can also lead to job loss as well as lost employment opportunities. If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL), your livelihood is at stake.

Defenses in DUI Cases

A DUI case actually involves two cases: the criminal case on the drunk driving charges and a driver's license suspension hearing before the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles. The criminal case can result in a conviction and the stigma of a lifetime criminal history. The DMV hearing can result in suspension of your driver's license before you are even convicted of DUI.

As your lawyer, I will represent you both in your criminal DUI case and in your driver's license suspension hearing before the Colorado DMV.

Even if you think you are guilty of DUI charges, there is always something a lawyer can do to defend you. The procedures used in roadside tests including field sobriety tests and blood alcohol tests don't always work. As your lawyer, I can also confront and cross-examine the police officer who pulled you over and find out if he had a legal reason (probable cause) to stop you.
