"Josh McDowell is one of the most honorable and genuine people I have ever encountered. I payed a flat fee for a DUI charge that I will admit may not be an easy payment for all, but I received a degree of professionalism, integrity, efficiency , and sincerity that I guarantee you will not find many other places. I highly recommend this firm and those involved with it because I have met them all and know their credentials.... trust me when I say, if you are willing to put your trust in them and believe in their efforts, you will come out on top."
It depends on your age group and the period of time in which the points were accrued. Below is a helpful chart to determine whether you are facing a suspension. (Points for drivers with a chauffeur license or a Commercial License are different.)
| Age Group | 12 Months | 24 Months | Period of License |
| Minor Driver (16-17) | 6 points | 7 points | |
| Minor (18-20) | 9 points | 12 points | 14 points |
| Adult (21 and over) | 12 points | 18 points |
If you accumulate enough points to put you over the limit for your age group and time period the DMV will suspend your license. If you are subject to a suspension you are entitled to a DMV hearing. Not all license suspensions are of the same duration. The maximum term is one year (based on excessive points), but a hearing officer has discretion on the length and type of suspension. For example, in many cases you may be able to obtain a restricted license (also known as a Red license) that allows a driver to have limited driving privileges such as to and from work, school, doctor's appointments etc.
A Traffic violations will have different penalties based on the level of offense and what Court system will handle the case. On many offenses the fine is set and additional court costs will be added to the amount. Of course, actual penalties will vary based on the violation, history of the offender and applicable defenses to the charge.
If the case has been charged in El Paso County Court, the penalties are often times more serious. Many Colorado Springs and Aurora traffic offenses are classified as Misdemeanor Traffic Offenses (MT1 or MT2) or are classified as regular Misdemeanors. A traffic offense charged as an MT2 can carry a jail sentence of up to 90 days. Some examples of an MT2 are: Careless Driving, Reckless Driving and certain speeding offenses (example 25 or more over speed limit). Other traffic offenses carry mandatory jail time such as driving under restraint (5 days mandatory minimum jail) or driving under restraint for an alcohol-related conviction (mandatory minimum of 30 days in jail). In all cases a knowledgeable traffic attorney can help you minimize or even avoid jail on even the most serious traffic charges.We have helped people from Denver, Highlands Ranch, Thornton, Aurora and surrounding areas.
