Denver DUI Attorney
Multiple Offenses
In Colorado, alcohol offenses like DUI are considered “lifetime offenses.” That means your DUI conviction cannot be sealed or expunged. As a result, many all cases are treated by the District Attorney as multiple offense or repeat offender cases, when a prior alcohol related offense is discovered.
The law in Colorado states that multiple alcohol offenses require minimum mandatory jail time, regardless of where the prior offense occurred or even how long ago it happened. If the prosecution finds a prior alcohol offense occurred in another state, the district attorney will seek jail time. The judge will be bound by law to sentence you to at least the mandatory minimums upon a conviction or a plea to an multiple alcohol offense. Because sentencing requirements for repeat offenders are more severe than that of first-time offenders, it is crucial to seek the counsel of an experienced DUI lawyer in Denver.
With new Colorado laws in place, multiple offenders are no longer eligible for many alternative sentencing programs. If you have been charged with a DUI, regardless if you have a prior offense, you need the experience of skilled Denver DUI defense law firm.
