Colorado Springs DUI Attorney

Did a night of drinking, and one bad decision, land you in the back of a police car with DUI charges? Do you believe you were falsely charged with DUI or DWAI? Whichever the case, you're probably looking for a Colorado Springs DUI attorney. Attorney Michael Salkind can help.

Mr. Salkind has years of experience representing Colorado Springs drivers who made bad decisions, as well as those who have been falsely accused of alcohol-related offenses.

There are three things you should be aware of when you are pulled over for suspected DUI and or DWAI.

There are things you should be aware of when you are pulled over for suspected DUI and or DWAI. You’ll want to be aware of is the difference between the two offenses. If you take a blood alcohol test, and the results of the BAC exceeds 0.05 but is less than 0.08, there is "permissible inference" that you were driving while ability impaired (DWAI). If the results indicate your BAC is 0.08 or more, there is "permissible inference" that you were driving under the influence (DUI). Of course, DUIs carry harsher penalties, though an experienced Colorado Springs DUI attorney can help you decrease the penalties.

Once you're in trouble for drinking and driving, criminal penalties will be imposed by the courts, and administrative penalties will be imposed by the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles. Criminal penalties include fines, jail time and community service. Administrative penalties include license revocation. As an experienced DUI attorney, Michael Salkind can defend you in both administrative and criminal hearings in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas.
