Criminal Law

Even if it’s your first offense, a Colorado DUI can significantly affect how you live your life from now on. No matter the outcome of your trial, your arrest will appear (at least temporarily) on your permanent record. 

A conviction for a first-time DUI in Colorado will result in a misdemeanor criminal record. In many cases, an adult cannot have their DUI expunged or their criminal record sealed.

If you have a prior conviction for a DUI in a different state, it will count as a previous conviction for a Colorado DUI.
