Legal Question in DUI Law in Colorado

Re: Old DUI Charge

It depends on a lot of factors, the most important of which are the judge and whether you have priors. Speak to an attorney who practices in the court.

Re: Old DUI Charge

First you should consider getting an attorney BEFORE you turn yourself in. In most instances your attorney can get the case restarted without your having to go to jail and wait for the court to hear your case. You may also avoid having to post a high bond for failing to appear in the first instance. Contact us for more info.

As stated in the previous answer, what will happen next depends on your history, the judge and the DA.

Re: Old DUI Charge

Get a bondsman and be prepared to post a bond so that you do not spend too much time in jail if there is a warrant.

But - some of these older traffic/misdemeanor cases have warrants with limited time periods. The warrant may have expired and if so, then the case would not automatically come back ever.

IF this is the case, you probably cannot get a drivers license due to an Outstanding Judgement Warrant. All this is is a 30-50 dollar fee to the county clerks office for the issuance of the warrant. That can often be paid with a credit card over the phone. Once paid, dmv should give you a license.

as to the DUI case, I am happy to help you win that or plea it as you wish. most results have much to do with the evidence remaining and your prior record. 2 years ago, i helped a gentleman plea a dui-3rd with accident to reckless driving with no classes due to a lack of evidence (he was gone from state for a few years)

let me know if I can help
