Contact me for a free DUI consultation today.

A DUI arrest can have serious, lifelong consequences. If you end up with a conviction for DUI or driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) on your criminal record, not only will you face fines, loss of your license, and possible jail time, but your record will also make it more difficult to get into school and find a job. However, a DUI or DUID arrest does not have to change the rest of your life. You may have a variety of legal defenses available, and using these defenses to your advantage can be as simple as putting the right legal representation on your side.

As a DUI defense attorney, I have 24 years of experience representing clients in Montrose and statewide. I have an office in downtown Montrose on South 3rd Street, and I regularly travel to meet with clients throughout the area who are facing charges for drunk driving and driving under the influence of drugs. When it comes to defending against DUI and DUID charges in Montrose, local experience matters. I can use my experience to help you seek to avoid jail time and minimize the consequences of your arrest.

Defending Against Drunk Driving Charges in Montrose, CO

If you have been arrested for DUI in Montrose, you need to know two things:

  • You could be facing severe penalties, and
  • You could have a number of different defenses available.

As a result of my decades of experience in DUI cases, I am intimately familiar with the defenses and defense strategies that can be used to challenge allegations of DUI. I have also seen many cases in which individuals did not have adequate legal representation, and I know what can happen when a case does not go the defendant’s way. If you were pulled over on Route 50, Townsend Avenue, or anywhere else in downtown or suburban Montrose, I urge you to call me immediately for a free consultation to learn more about the risks of getting convicted for DUI.

Fighting for Clients Accused of Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

I also provide vigorous legal defense for clients arrested on charges of DUID in Montrose. DUID cases are unique, and with the complexities of Colorado’s marijuana laws, it is important to hire a Montrose DUI defense attorney who has specific experience defending clients arrested on drug-related charges. I have handled numerous DUID cases throughout the state, and I have extensive experience in cases involving marijuana, prescription medications, and other drugs.

With the recreational use of marijuana legalized in Colorado, it is important to consider that driving under the influence of drugs, including forms of marijuana, is still a dangerous endeavor and a serious crime. In these cases, law enforcement can continue to pursue marijuana-related criminal charges.

Residents and citizens of Colorado should be cognizant of the changes in the law regarding marijuana, specifically the different factors at play when one is charged with driving under the influence of drugs, or DUID. In many cases, errors can occur during the legal process, whether on the part of law enforcement or in courtrooms. Some officers may not have the proper training to properly assess whether you are under the influence of drugs, and sometimes officers with the proper training simply make mistakes. Police officers generally look for the following traits from drivers under the influence of marijuana: divided attention, poor coordination, and a slowed internal clock.

Sometimes, law enforcement officers and courts may treat DUID cases like they would treat cases of driving under the influence of alcohol. It is the defense’s responsibility to show the flaw in this sort of thinking and can do so by using better experts for testimony, having a better understanding of the law, and using a better fundamental understanding of science.

DUID prosecutions are on the rise, especially as the use of marijuana becomes more prevalent throughout the state of Colorado. While police may be paying more attention to these cases, lawyer Mark S. Rubinstein is actively defending against many of these cases. His real experience with this specific crime can be an asset to any DUID case.

We can help your case with a full understanding of the following:

  • The latest detection technologies (and their imperfections)
  • The most recent science on THC intoxication
  • Other drugs and the problems police run into when testing for them
  • Up-to-the-minute caselaw and the evolving rules of law
