Skilled Defense for DUI, DWAI, and Felony DWI
Colorado has some of the most severe and detailed drunk driving laws in the country, and it's one of the few states with an adult DWI offense for a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as low as .05 percent. To learn about your options for resolving a misdemeanor or felony DUI charge on the most favorable terms possible, contact an experienced defense lawyer at Castle & Castle in Denver.

You can no longer expect to plead a drunk driving case down to a nonalcohol-related traffic offense in Colorado, unless there is something grossly wrong with the arrest or the evidence against you. Instead, if you want to beat your DUI case, you'll have to do it the old-fashioned way — through the skill and hard work of your defense counsel.
At Castle & Castle, we analyze the facts of your arrest, your record and your overall situation to protect you from the consequences of a DUI or DWAI conviction. Whenever possible, we'll work toward an early dismissal of the case based on insufficient grounds for pulling your car over, lack of probable cause to place you under arrest, or problems with the blood or breath test.
With more than 130 jury trials to his credit, Jim Castle is always ready to present your defense in court if the facts indicate a good chance to avoid a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. An important part of your defense lawyer's job is to convince the prosecution of the difficulty of proving the case against you, then following through with an effective trial defense if the charges can't otherwise be resolved.
We represent people charged with DUI felonies, too
If you were involved in an accident that resulted in a serious or fatal injury, you can be charged with a felony such as vehicular assault or homicide. Such additional circumstances as unlawful blood alcohol content, hit and run charges, or a DUI arrest while on habitual traffic offender status can all lead to felony charges that could lead to imprisonment.
Our lawyers enjoy a national reputation for excellence in felony trial defense. If you're facing any serious charge related to drunk driving or a car accident, you can depend on us to protect your rights through every stage of the case.
