Questions
What's the difference between DUI and DWAI in Colorado?
DUI (Driving Under the Influence) requires blood alcohol content (BAC) ≥0.08%, while DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) applies to BAC 0.05-0.07%. Penalties differ significantly, with DUI carrying harsher consequences for license suspension and criminal record.
How can a criminal defense attorney help with felony charges?
We challenge evidence admissibility, identify constitutional violations, negotiate plea bargains, and prepare for trial. Our experience with Colorado's sentencing guidelines helps minimize prison time, fines, and long-term consequences of felony convictions.
Do I need a lawyer for a first-time DUI offense?
Yes. Even first offenses carry license suspension, fines, and potential jail time. An experienced attorney can negotiate reduced charges, secure deferred judgments, or challenge evidence to protect your driving privileges and future employment.
What should I do immediately after a ski accident injury?
Seek medical attention first. Document the incident with photos and witness information. Contact Brown Law Firm to investigate liability, whether from equipment failure, trail conditions, or other parties' negligence in Colorado ski resorts.
How long do domestic violence cases typically take?
Resolution timelines vary based on evidence complexity and court schedules. We work to expedite proceedings while ensuring thorough preparation, with most cases resolving within 3-6 months through negotiated settlements or trial verdicts.
