FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

“I was arrested for DUI. What should I do?”

Immediate Action Required: You have only 7 days from your arrest date to request a DMV hearing to prevent automatic license suspension. Contact Right Law Group immediately at (720) 573-2396 for a free consultation. We’re available 24/7.

Relevant Links:

“Can domestic violence charges be defended in Colorado?”

Answer: Yes. Domestic violence charges can be defended through various legal strategies including self-defense claims, challenging witness credibility, demonstrating false allegations, and presenting character evidence. Former prosecutor Alexis Austin Litle has specific expertise in domestic violence defense. However, every case is different and outcomes depend on specific facts and evidence.

Colorado Law Note: Domestic violence in Colorado functions as a sentencing enhancement to underlying charges (CRS 18-6-800.3), not as a standalone offense. Mandatory protection orders are automatically issued.

Relevant Links:

“How much does a criminal defense attorney cost?”

Answer: Right Law Group offers free initial consultations and flexible payment plans. Many cases are handled on fixed-fee schedules. Costs depend on charge severity, case complexity, and whether trial is necessary. Military and veteran discounts are available. Call (720) 573-2396 for a free case evaluation to discuss specific fee options for your situation.

Relevant Links:

“Do I need a lawyer for a misdemeanor charge?”

Answer: Yes. Even misdemeanor convictions can result in jail time, fines, permanent criminal records, employment consequences, professional license impacts, and other serious long-term effects. Right Law Group helps clients achieve favorable outcomes including dismissals, deferred judgments, and diversion programs that can protect your record and future.

Relevant Links:

“Can you help military members with criminal charges?”

Answer: Yes. Right Law Group provides defense for active-duty service members and veterans facing civilian criminal charges in Colorado courts. We understand PTSD-related charges, command reporting requirements, security clearance implications, and the unique challenges military personnel face. Military and veteran discounts are available.

Important: We handle civilian criminal charges only. We do not practice military law or represent clients in court-martial proceedings.

IMPORTANT COLORADO CRIMINAL LAW UPDATES (2025)

Recent Changes Affecting Defense Strategy

Proposition 128 (Effective 2025):
Defendants convicted of violent felonies must now serve at least 85% of their sentence before parole eligibility (increased from 75%). This significantly affects plea negotiations and sentencing strategy for violent crime cases.

Habitual Criminal Framework Updates (March 2025):
Colorado Senate amended habitual offender proceedings to strengthen due process protections and address double jeopardy concerns. New procedural safeguards apply before habitual offender designation.

Amendment I (2025):
Restored judicial authority to deny bail in first-degree murder cases, reintroducing discretion that was removed after death penalty repeal.

Domestic Violence Law:
Domestic violence continues to function as a sentencing enhancement (CRS 18-6-800.3) rather than standalone charge. Mandatory arrest policies remain in effect. Fourth DV conviction results in Class 5 felony habitual offender status (CRS 18-6-801(7)).

DMV Hearing Deadline:
7-day deadline for requesting DMV hearing after DUI arrest remains strictly enforced. Missing this deadline results in automatic license suspension.
