Denver, CO criminal defense attorney Michael Sheehan explains whether or not you will lose your license if you’re arrested for DUI in CO. He notes that if a person is convicted of a DUI in Colorado, 12 points are assessed against their driver’s license, which triggers a suspension. Similarly, if a person refuses a blood or breath test—or takes one and the result exceeds the legal limit—they are required to appear for a hearing before the Department of Revenue Hearings Division. At that hearing, a legal dispute arises over whether the individual’s driving privileges should be revoked. Any experienced DUI attorney in Colorado is therefore also well-versed in handling these Department of Revenue hearings, as they are an integral part of nearly every DUI case filed in the state.
