Fort Collins DUI Lawyer
The police can make mistakes. I know, because as a prosecutor I often dealt with that reality. When a police officer makes a mistake in a DUI or DWAI case, it can provide the means for a successful defense of the charge.
Leah Bishop, L.L.C., will review every aspect of your case, looking for errors that could serve as a basis for a successful defense. These include lack of probable cause to make a stop, improperly conducted field sobriety tests, improperly conducted breath tests and other factors. If a potentially successful defense strategy exists, I will find it and mount an aggressive defense of the charge.
If you are facing DUI charges, I will examine the facts in your case, discuss your legal options and all possible penalties with you, and help you make informed choices and decision.

You Face Two Challenges
A DUI charge starts two legal actions against you — a criminal proceeding on the charge itself and an administrative proceeding that will usually lead to the loss of your driver's license. I will provide you with assertive representation on the criminal side of your case as well as the administrative proceeding. I will aggressively represent you at the DMV hearing because you have many of the same rights in the administrative hearing as you do in the criminal proceeding. It is important to have help with issues relating to probable cause and officer mistakes.
Minor in Possession
Though Minor in Possession of Alcohol is classified as a petty crime, it does have consequences. If you are found guilty, you will have to pay a fine and perform community service. In addition, your drivers' license can be revoked for three months or until you complete your community service. I can represent you in an attempt to overcome the charge or to mitigate the penalties.
Possession of a false ID on the other hand is a crime with more serious consequences. Some employers do not look favorably on people who use false documents, and a conviction could harm your career prospects. Leah Bishop Law can defend you of this charge, with the goal of obtaining a dismissal or a deferred outcome that keeps your record clean.
