A Colorado DWAI lawyer can help protect your rights if you have been charged with driving while ability impaired under Colorado law. In Colorado, driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) between .05 and .079 can result in a DWAI charge under Colorado DUI law and the broader legal system, often handled by a DUI lawyer. Though the penalties for DWAI are less severe than for DUI, a DWAI charge is still serious and can carry criminal penalties, license suspension, and jail time. It will stay on your criminal record for the rest of your life.
If you are ever facing a DUI arrest or DWAI again, the existence of prior convictions such as a DWAI conviction can enhance the penalties you face in future DUI cases. You should take a DWAI seriously obtaining legal representation from an experienced DUI lawyer with a strong track record as soon after your traffic stop as possible.

Defense Strategies for Drunk Driving Cases From a Colorado DWAI Lawyer
As an experienced attorney, I will look at every aspect of your criminal case, looking for a way to obtain a dismissal of the criminal charge in the courtroom or reduction to a non-alcohol driving offense through plea negotiations. I will look at the reason for the traffic stop, including reasonable suspicion, probable cause, the actions of the police officer during the stop and during alcohol testing, and other factors, looking for a way to obtain a dismissal.
Whether this is your first DUI offense or you are facing a DWAI charge as a repeat offender, you need an attorney who can fight for a positive outcome under the specific circumstances at hand.
If your blood test or breath test results are close to the bottom end of the blood alcohol content range (legal limit) for either DWAI (.05) or DUI (.08) and there are other problematic factors in your case, this could put you in a stronger position to raise reasonable doubt and and to obtain a favorable downward negotiated plea.
Even if the state’s evidence is strong and you are found guilty of DWAI, there may be actions I can take to mitigate the DUI penalties, protect your driver’s license, and reduce the life changing consequences you face.
A Colorado DWAI attorney can review breath test procedures, police observations, and the legality of the traffic stop to determine whether the prosecution can prove impairment.
Why Should You Hire A Colorado DUI Attorney To Fight DWAI Charges?
Some people who are arrested for DWAI are tempted to represent themselves or plead guilty in court. This is almost always a big mistake because you could overlook the one factor that could result in the dismissal of the charge by a judge through a DUI defense attorney with a proven record. Rarely is it in a person’s best interests to represent themselves or plead guilty, as this is almost certain not to result in a favorable outcome.
