Colorado Springs Drug DUI Defense Attorney

Experienced DUI Defense: Protect Your Rights in Colorado Springs

Just as it is illegal to drive under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, it is illegal to drive while under the influence of controlled substances in the state of Colorado. Unlike alcohol-related offenses in which an officer may use a Breathalyzer test to measure the amount of alcohol in your body, the level of impairment caused by a drug or controlled substance must be measured by a chemical test.

Several factors must be considered during a drug-related DUI arrest, but an officer may use his or her discretion when deciding whether you are or are not impaired. Gauging a level of impairment can be difficult, especially regarding driving while using cough medication to treat a common cold, using a legal prescription medication, or after using medical marijuana. This difficulty has led to many false arrests and has unjustly put countless Coloradans in the criminal system.
