Erik G. Fischer, P.C.

As experienced criminal defense attorneys, handling DUI charges is a routine part of our work. We also understand that it is anything but routine for you.

At Erik G. Fischer, P.C., our Fort Collins DUI lawyers defend clients throughout the Front Range of northern Colorado against charges of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) and Driving While Ability is Impaired (DWAI). Our attorneys respect the fact that these charges are not 'business as usual' for you and can help you understand the law, your options, and the legal process.

What is the difference between DUI and DWAI in Colorado?

In Colorado, the blood-alcohol content (BAC) threshold for DUI is .08, whereas the DWAI legal limit falls into the .05-.08 range. Penalties for a conviction of either charge are severe.

What are the DUI and DWAI penalties in Colorado?

Penalties vary greatly depending on factors like your BAC and previous DUI / DWAI convictions. Penalties can include a deferred adjudication, probation, fines, community service, license suspension, and jail.

What are DUI and DWAI points?

DUI convictions cause 12 points to be assessed on your driving record, which causes you to lose your drivers license for one year. When you are arrested for DUI or DWAI, you only have seven days from the date of your arrest to request a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) revocation hearing, so contacting an attorney quickly is essential.

A first offense DWAI conviction carries 8 points and depending on the facts of your case, we may be able to help you acquire a restricted license.
