Speeding:

Speeding is the most common traffic violation issued in Colorado. It is important to remember that a speeding ticket is technically just an allegation. You have the right to challenge a speeding ticket. Doing so is especially important if you are at risk of losing your license because of Colorado’s points-based system.

Reckless Driving:

Colorado has a strict reckless driving statute. In Colorado, a person cited for reckless driving can be charged with a Class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense. A reckless driving charge carries up to six months in jail. It also carries a $1,000 fine, other financial ramifications, and the potential suspension of your driver’s license. We defend reckless driving charges in Weld County and throughout the area.

Careless Driving:

Careless driving is also a Class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense in Colorado—though it is somewhat less severe than reckless driving. It is the operation of a motor vehicle without due regard for the road and one’s surroundings. An arrest for careless driving in Colorado can carry jail time.

Driving With a Suspended/Revoked License:

Under Colorado law (CRS 42-2-138), this may be charged as a Class A traffic infraction. However, if your license was suspended because of a DUI offense, driving while it is suspended could be charged as a misdemeanor criminal offense. Regardless, it can lead to the long-term loss of your driving privileges, Our Colorado traffic offense lawyer will protect your rights. 

Leaving the Scene of an Accident:

Colorado law requires all motorists who were involved in a crash to stop and remain at the scene of the wreck. Fleeing the accident scene (hit-and-run) is a serious criminal offense. In a crash only involving property damage, it is a second-degree misdemeanor carrying up to 90 days in prison. If someone was seriously injured or killed in the crash, leaving the scene of an accident is a felony offense that carries 2 to 12 years in prison.

Drunk Driving & Drugged Driving:

Intoxicated driving is one of the most serious traffic-related issues. It is a criminal offense in Colorado. While a DUI is a misdemeanor offense in most cases, it can be charged as a felony if certain aggravating factors are present.  If you or your loved one was arrested and charged with drunk driving or drugged driving, it is imperative that you seek professional representation.
