What Should I Do If I'm Stopped?

It's the first question typically asked by someone who has been pulled over by police for suspicion of drunk driving: "What should I do if I'm stopped?"

An experienced DUI and DWAI defense attorney can advise you to say nothing to police — and say all the right things at hearings that follow, as your Colorado drunk driving case proceeds.

Reliable DUI Defense Legal Advice From an Experienced Former Prosecutor

In Colorado Springs and the counties of El Paso, Teller and Fremont, I help protect the rights of those charged with DUI or DWAI.

I am experienced DUI defense lawyer Christian A. Schwaner — a dedicated former prosecutor who knows our justice system inside-out. After almost 20 years of successful practice, I have the experience to defend you, regardless of the charges you face, and the reliable legal advice you can count on.

To discuss your DUI arrest in a free initial consultation, call my law firm: 719-387-0616. I can meet with you at a police station or jail if you reach me after an arrest.

Almost 20 Years of Experience, Working for You

I have the facts you need about the roles played by terms such as expressed consent, implied consent, reasonable suspicion and probable cause in a DUI arrest; about how hazardous weather, dangerous roads or a driver's pre-existing medical condition could deceive police into thinking you are driving drunk; and about the importance of saying nothing to police before you have spoken to an experienced DUI defense attorney, who you need to locate right away.

You can be pulled over for drifting, a wide or illegal turn, swerving or weaving, failure to use turn signals, driving too slowly or too fast, or driving without headlights. Before you know it, your erratic driving for reasons unrelated to alcohol can become a DUI case that needs defending.

Is this your first DUI? Have you received multiple DUI's? Or have you been charged with felony DUI? I can show you how DUI defense works in DUI court, how to avoid driver's license consequences and reduce DUI penalties.
