Fight Your Drugged Driving Charge with the Help of an Experienced Denver DUI Attorney

A Colorado DUID attorney can help protect your rights if you have been stopped, arrested, and charged with driving under the influence of drugs. If you have been stopped, arrested, and jailed on criminal charges of driving under the influence of drugs (DUID), you face penalties under Colorado DUI laws that could cost you many years of your life, lead to a lasting DUI conviction and criminal record, and result in many thousands of dollars in fines tied to DUI penalties after a DUI arrest.

You need the help of a skilled Colorado DUID lawyer who believes in you, safeguards your interests, and guides you through the legal system, DMV proceedings, and the entire legal process, including court proceedings and legal fees.

Colorado DUI Laws Impose Steep Penalties or Drugged Driving

A skilled DUI defense lawyer could be your last best hope for avoiding a DUI conviction and protecting your future with a strong defense strategy. My name is J.B. Katz, and from my law offices in Breckenridge, I represent those who have been charged with drugged driving, DUI DWI, and related DUI offenses in DUI cases.

For over 20 years, I have served as a trusted local attorney providing aggressive defense and effective legal representation, and my criminal defense law firm has protected the rights of those arrested for DUI penalties and DUI with drugs offenses, including matters involving subsequent offenses, community service, driver’s license suspension, prior offenses, and cases where DWAI carries lesser penalties.

I handle all types of DUI defense matters in Breckenridge, Colorado Springs and the greater Denver area. As soon as we establish an attorney-client relationship, I will get to work building your defense. Since DUID is a criminal charge in Colorado, prosecutors must be able to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

My goal is to prevent prosecutors from meeting their burden so that you can avoid the severe penalties that can result from a DUID conviction. These penalties can include fines and jail time—and from disciplinary action for individuals who hold professional licenses to immigration law consequences for non-U.S. citizens, DUID convictions can have various other serious consequences as well.

How I Can Help With Your DUID Case

As an experienced Colorado DUID lawyer, I prepare every case as if it is going to trial, with or without a court date. Skilled investigators assist me with the scientific aspects of DUID, including analysis of DUI evidence, breath or blood test results, breath test procedures, and blood alcohol concentration, and the roles of active and inactive metabolites in the bloodstream. I use these findings to express your side of the story in court. By the same token, I vigorously challenge legal limit assumptions and the conclusions of so-called “drug recognition individuals as a DUI defense attorney.”

You should be in touch with me immediately if police officers have stopped and charged you with driving under the influence of drugs, such as:

  • Marijuana
  • Medical marijuana
  • Cocaine
  • Crack cocaine
  • Party drugs (ecstasy)
  • Prescription drugs (hydrocodone, OxyContin)
  • Sedatives or sleeping pills such as Ambien
  • Methamphetamine

While prosecutors cannot rely on your blood alcohol content in a DUID case, they may be able to use various other forms of evidence to prove that you were “driving while ability-impaired.” Regardless of the evidence that is available, I can provide the legal help you need to challenge the prosecution’s case and fight for a positive outcome by all means available.

Strategies for Fighting Your Criminal Case and Protecting Your Driving Privileges, Finances, and Freedom

A Colorado DUID attorney can challenge drug recognition expert testimony, blood testing procedures, and the conclusions drawn from toxicology reports. As an experienced DUI lawyer, I cross-examine witnesses and discredit police interpretations of probable cause. I oppose illegal search and seizure wherever I find it, including issues raised during a DMV hearing. No matter where your case takes us, I will be right alongside you, protecting your rights in the courtroom and addressing your questions and concerns in criminal defense cases, including those involving vehicular assault tied to DUI charges.

I Provide Experienced Legal Representation for Students Facing Bad Situations in Denver, CO and the Surrounding Areas

As a Denver DUI attorney, I can handle your case as an experienced lawyer, sparing your parents time and worry, if you are enrolled in schools such as Colorado University, Colorado State University, Denver University or Colorado Mountain College. Getting convicted of DUID can have serious academic consequences, so you owe it to yourself (and your future self) to fight for the best outcome possible under the circumstances at hand.
