With almost 1,000 paid-members, the CCDB is the voice for criminal defense attorneys in Colorado.

“I am honored that my peers would trust me in this position,” said Tiftickjian. “Being the leader of the defense bar is a great responsibility, and I intend to exceed expectations in this role.” Mr. Tiftickjian is the first former prosecutor to be elected President of the criminal defense bar.

What You Can Expect in your DUI Case

In Colorado, a drunk driving (DUI) or drugged driving (DUI-D) allegation is a criminal charge that carries the possibility of incarceration and revocation of your driver’s license. Colorado DUI laws require mandatory incarceration for repeat offenders, and for first offenses in certain aggravated cases. Some judges impose incarceration for first DUI, DUI-D, and DWAI convictions. A guilty verdict or bad plea bargain will stick with you for the rest of your life. If you were recently charged with Driving Under the Influence, you may have as little as seven days to act or else your driver’s license will be revoked.
