Denver Colorado Criminal Defense Law Firm

For a first time DUID conviction, a judge must impose from between 10 days to one year in jail. The judge must further impose from between forty-eight (48) and ninety-six (96) hours of useful public service and from between $300 and $1,000 in fines. The judge must also impose court costs.
Court costs usually amount to $400. The law permits the judge to suspend all of the sentence on condition that you complete a drug and alcohol program. Remember, there is no guarantee that the judge will suspend the jail sentence. Also, a DUID mandates a one (1) year revocation against your driving privilege with no driving. Furthermore, a DUID, like a DUI, constitutes a major traffic violation under the habitual traffic offender law.
Since the forensics in a DUID are very complicated, you should seek a criminal defense attorney who can reduce the potential penalties in your case and perhaps retain your driving privileges.
