DUI - I was arrested for a DUI in Colorado Springs, what do I do now?

First, you need to remember as much as possible about the facts surrounding your arrest.

If possible, take notes about important facts, including time of stop, time of any chemical tests, weather conditions, what you said to the officers, names of any witnesses to the DUI and from your drinking that night. Be sure to request a DMV hearing within the allotted time.

If you did a breathalyzer test, or refused chemical testing, you have 7 days from the date of your charge to request a hearing. In the case of blood tests it will take longer for the DMV to receive your results and you will be mailed a notice of revocation from the DMV with a deadline to request a hearing. It is essential you request a hearing before that time or you license will automatically be suspended.

Most importantly, contact a Colorado Springs DUI attorney immediately. Time is of the essence in any DUI or DWAI case to preserve evidence and to preserve your rights.
