If you have been accused of drunk driving in Colorado, take the charges seriously. Even a first-time offense can lead to major problems.
A drunk driving conviction means fines, community service, a suspended license and possibly even jail time. If you are an immigrant, a conviction will cost you your DACA benefit. Even if you are a permanent resident or U.S. citizen, DUI charges must be taken seriously. Two DUI’s in a lifetime can prevent you from becoming a U.S. citizen. The Glenwood Springs law office of Ted Hess & Associates, LLC, provides criminal defense. We will help you get the best possible outcome in your DUI case so it will not affect your rights and future plans.
For more information about DUI defense, read our Frequently Asked Questions. If you are facing possible deportation due to a DUI charge, read here how we can help you.
If you are facing your first DUI charge – and no one was injured – it is not likely that you will be jailed. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will put you on a priority list for arrest and deportation.
DUI charges, like all criminal charges, can still cause problems for immigrants.
If you have been arrested for drunk driving, call an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. Our DUI attorneys have more than 50 years of combined legal experience. We fight for the rights of immigrants in criminal defense, which we call “crimmigration.” We also defend anyone else in the Glenwood Springs area who is charged with drinking and driving. No matter your background, we will stand up for you.
