The Law Office of Thomas W. Martin LLC

DUI / DWAI

Fort Collins DUI Attorney

A conviction for drunk driving (DUI) or driving while abilities impaired (DWAI) can result in heavy fines, loss of your driver's license, and jail time. Understanding how to negotiate with the court in order to reduce the charges against you or explore alternatives to jail is essential. As a DUI attorney, I have helped numerous people avoid the more serious consequences associated with DUI and DWAI charges. Working closely with our clients, the law office of Thomas W. Martin LLC provides clients with information regarding how to protect their jobs, the impact of a DUI charge on their insurance, and what counseling and education programs are available to convince the court you're serious about driving responsibly. My office can help keep you out of more trouble and help you keep your license.

Immediate Action is Required

In the state of Colorado, you have only a short amount of time to respond to a DUI or DWAI charge. If you fail to request a hearing within 7 days after your arrest, your license will be automatically suspended. Additionally, if you are eventually found guilty or enter a plea of "guilty," the penalties you face could be more severe. As your DUI attorney, I prepare all necessary documentation and information for the court in a timely, efficient manner.

I Know I Wasn't Drunk -- How do I fight the Charges Against Me?

DUI cases are not as cut and dry as they're sometimes made out to be. If a police officer didn't have reasonable suspicion to pull you over, if the field sobriety test was improperly conducted, or if the breathalyzer used wasn't calibrated correctly, you case will likely be dismissed.

At the office of Thomas Martin, we request the maintenance report on breathalyzers, ask an independent lab to conduct its own test on any blood samples collected, and identify violations of proper police procedure.

Multiple DUI -- Minimizing the Consequences

If you've already been convicted for DUI or DWAI, you have no other choice than to work with the court in minimizing the penalties you face. You may be required to use an interlock ignition device which requires you to blow into it before your car will start. The court may expect you to complete hours of community service and attend alcohol addiction programs. And, if you've already had your license suspended or revoked, you almost certainly face jail.

As your DUI attorney, I work with prosecutors to minimize the penalties incurred by my clients. While I can't keep repeat offenders out of jail or prevent the suspension or revocation of their license, I can reduce the amount of time involved in both.
