Our client rear-ended an off-duty police vehicle after a night of drinking downtown. He was originally charged with driving under the influence, second offense. But Krizman Law found a loophole that saved him from the mandatory jail sentence that comes with a second DUI.

It turns out his first DUI was actually “boating while drunk” in Minnesota. In Colorado, boats are not considered “motor vehicles” subject to the DUI law. The charge was treated as a first offense, and he avoided the mandatory jail term and other restrictions that come with a second DUI.

Krizman Law also mounted an aggressive defense of his license with the Department of Motor Vehicles. The arresting officer had not followed procedure in the roadside sobriety test. Even though the hearing officer did not rule in our client’s favor, the effort demonstrated to the criminal prosecutors that Krizman Law was willing to fight hard for the client.
