Denver Lawyers Fighting Repeat Traffic Offenses
In Colorado, any three major traffic offenses in a seven-year period — reckless driving, drunk driving, driving on restricted license, hit and run, vehicular assault — may result in your being labeled an habitual traffic offender. An accumulation of too many points on your driver's license may also result in habitual traffic offender (HTO) status.
Once you are labeled a habitual traffic offender, the penalties associated with repeat traffic offenses can be severe. If you are arrested for DUI as an HTO, you may be facing felony charges and prison time if you are convicted.
HTOs also face serious problems regardless of subsequent offenses. Your records will be readily available to your insurance company, any current or prospective employers and even landlords. The possible difficulty in finding a job, a new place to live or auto insurance at a reasonable rate is powerful incentives to fight habitual traffic offender status. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation with an experienced Denver lawyer fighting HTO charges.
