How to Find the Right DUI Attorney in Denver: Questions You Must Ask
Choosing the right DUI attorney in Denver can make a critical difference in the outcome of your case. At Mile High Legal, we encourage potential clients to ask tough questions before making this important decision.
When interviewing Denver DUI attorneys, here are the essential questions you should ask:
What percentage of your practice is dedicated to DUI defense? Look for attorneys who focus specifically on DUI cases in Denver courts. At Mile High Legal, DUI defense comprises over 50% of our criminal practice.
How many DUI cases have you taken to trial in Denver? Experience matters, especially in Denver's different courthouses. Our attorneys have tried over 25 DUI cases across Denver, Arapahoe, and Jefferson counties.
Are you familiar with the prosecutors and judges in my specific courthouse? Denver, Aurora, and Lakewood each have different prosecutor offices and judicial tendencies. Our team appears in these courts daily and knows their nuances.
What specialized DUI training do you have? Look for attorneys trained in field sobriety testing and breathalyzer operation. Our Denver attorneys frequently attend continuing education on DUI practices and laws.
How do you handle DMV hearings? The administrative process is crucial. Mile High Legal has won dozens of DMV hearings at the Denver Hearing Office by challenging officer testimony and testing procedures.
Under Colorado law (C.R.S. § 42-4-1301), DUI convictions carry serious penalties, making your choice of attorney critical. Beyond these questions, consider these factors when choosing a Denver DUI lawyer:
Local reputation in Denver's legal community
Familiarity with Denver-specific diversion programs
Knowledge of alternative sentencing options in different Denver-area jurisdictions
Understanding of how different Denver courts handle DUI cases
