In Colorado, a DUI charge gives rise to two different cases, one involving the county court and the other the Department of Revenue's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Our firm's team will guide you through the Aspen DUI case in the Pitkin County Court and handle the action taken against your driver's license by the DMV. Within seven days of being served with an Express Consent Affidavit and Notice of Revocation (which most drivers receive upon their release from jail or detox), you must request a DMV hearing or your driver’s license will be revoked without providing you with an opportunity to challenge the action. Tiftickjian Law Firm, P.C. has experience preserving driver's licenses after a Colorado DUI arrest and has been successful challenging revocation proceedings at DMV hearings.

Many people are unaware that even if they are an out-of-state resident and were just visiting Aspen when charged with DUI that their home-state driver's license may still be at stake. This is due to the Interstate Driving Compact. If you are from another state, do not make the mistake of assuming that you do not need an attorney to preserve your driving privilege.
