DUI/Traffic Defense
A DUI or DWAI can negatively impact your life in many ways for a long time. In recent years, penalties for drunk driving have stiffened across the U.S. Consequently, a DUI may cost you your license, result in jail time, community service and fines. Even a minor traffic ticket can affect your insurance rates, driver's license status and overall peace of mind. That's why our attorneys focus on individual client needs and the specific circumstances of each case, using all the knowledge and resources at our disposal to ensure the most advantageous results. Most cases settle before trial, but we feel our willingness to take cases to trial assists in reaching reasonable outcomes, if possible. Of course, we are more than willing to go to trial if that is needed.

DUI - Sample Case
Situation: One evening, a client drove off from a wedding reception in Longmont where he had been drinking. He was heading west out of town when he was stopped by the city police for driving without headlights on, and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Our approach: Upon investigating the case, Miller & Harrison, LLC ascertained that the client was pulled over outside Longmont city limits and outside the jurisdiction of city police.
Results: The court found the arresting officer's actions to be improper, and refused to let the prosecution use any evidence given by the officer (including his observations of the driver) at trial. The drunk driving charges were entirely dismissed.
