Our client came to us after being charged with what the District Attorney identified as her third lifetime DUI. She struggled to understand why an out-of-state conviction was counting against her in Colorado. Krizman Law explained the significant penalties for a third DUI.
She expressed a strong desire to get sober, get evaluated, and take steps to show the court she was committed to change. Krizman Law encouraged treatment, structure, and sobriety work that would help both legally and personally.
As the case progressed, her communication became inconsistent and there were concerns about her ability to meaningfully participate in her defense. In court, Krizman Law arranged for an evaluation through the Bridges for Colorado program, which helps defendants who have mental health issues.
We lost contact with our client for a while. With the help of her son, we kept the court updated and secured a plan that ensured she was handed off to safe supervision once she resurfaced.
When she returned to court, we assisted in transitioning the case to the Public Defender’s Office so she could access long-term support, consistent communication, and mental health resources. She agreed to the transition and remained connected with Bridges.
This result ensured she received the help she needed, avoided unnecessary detention, and was placed in the best position to address both the legal case and the personal challenges affecting her stability.
