A pending DUI case in the Adams County, Colorado Court can seem overwhelming. You must appear before a judge at the Adams County Justice Center at 1000 Judicial Center Drive in Brighton, CO to answer these DUI charges. When you do so, make sure you are prepared with former Adams County Deputy District Attorney and experienced DUI defense lawyer Jay Tiftickjian and Tiftickjian Law Firm, P.C. by your side.

Adams County DUI attorney Jay Tiftickjian has handled hundreds of alcohol-related driving cases in the Adams County Justice Center as a defense lawyer and former Adams County prosecutor. His talents were recognized in 2010 with a nomination to the Colorado Super Lawyers: Rising Stars list of outstanding criminal defense attorneys in Colorado.

As an active member of the National College for DUI Defense, he has completed its invitation-only DUI defense training conducted at the Harvard Law School, and through this organization regularly consults with experts in legal and scientific fields related to DUI defense.

As a former Adams County Deputy District Attorney, Mr. Tiftickjian is extremely knowledgeable about the Adams County Court procedures and has obtained not-guilty verdicts on numerous serious traffic charges, such as DUI, DWAI, Reckless Driving, Careless Driving Resulting in Death and Speeding. If you have been charged with a DUI in Adams County, including Thornton, Westminster, Northglenn, Brighton, Commerce City, Arvada and the areas surrounding Denver International Airport, contact Tiftickjian Law Firm, P.C.

A DUI arrest in Adams County carries a double whammy: in addition to the pending Adams County Court case, a DUI charge also can result in a separate administrative action that can have grave consequences to your driving privilege. This action against your driver’s license is separate and independent of your DUI charges in Adams County Court.

Within seven days of your arrest on a DUI charge, you are required to make a written demand for an “Express Consent Hearing” — a driver’s license revocation hearing that will be held at the Colorado Department of Revenue’s Hearing Division in Lakewood. You will also need to respond to questions about how to conduct your Express Consent Hearing. If you fail to take action within those first seven days, the ability to contest the loss of your driver’s license will be forfeited and your license will be revoked automatically. The expertise of an experienced DUI lawyer is invaluable in these situations.

Even if you have an out-of-state license and were just passing through Adams County when you were charged with a DUI, you could be facing a revocation action; if your privilege to drive in Colorado is revoked, your driver’s license in your home state also could be revoked based on Interstate Driving Compact rules and regulations.

Due to the immediacy of this driver’s license action, it is critical to obtain the services of an experienced DUI defense attorney for your pending DUI charge in Adams County. Attorney Jay Tiftickjian and the DUI defense team at Tiftickjian Law Firm, P.C. can craft a defense to your pending driver’s license action as well as your DUI charges in the Adams County Justice Center. Our DUI defense firm has experience preserving clients’ driving privileges and successfully challenging driver’s license revocations at DMV hearings.
