Why Immediate Action After a DUI Arrest Is Critical
Colorado DUI Consequences Are Swift and Severe
A DUI arrest in Colorado triggers two separate battles: a criminal case in court and an administrative hearing with the DMV. Even for a first offense, penalties can include a 9-month license revocation. Fines range from $600 to $1,500, and 5 days to 1 year in jail. If your blood alcohol content (BAC) is higher than 0.15 or you refused testing, the penalties can increase significantly.
Repeat Offenses Carry Harsher Penalties
A second DUI can result in a license revocation of one year or more, fines up to $1,500, and 10 days to 1 year in jail — often with mandatory minimums. A third or subsequent DUI can lead to 60 days to 1 year in jail, extended license loss, higher fines. Fourth DUI is a felony charge.
You Have Just 7 Days to Act
Colorado law gives you only 7 days from your arrest to request a DMV hearing to contest your license revocation. Missing that deadline means an automatic suspension — making it harder to get to work, school, or meet daily obligations.

License Loss: 9 months for a first offense; 1 year or more for repeat offenses
Fines: $600 – $1,500 or higher for multiple DUIs
Jail Time: 5 days – 1 year (first); up to 1 year with mandatory minimums for repeat offenses
