At the Law Office of Monte J. Robbins, Esq., we bring over 20 years of courtroom experience to defending people charged with DUI, drug offenses, and serious traffic-related crimes across Colorado. Unlike large firms that hand cases off to junior associates, Monte handles every case personally — from the first phone call to the final outcome. Whether you’re facing a first-time DUI, felony DUI, drug offense, habitual traffic offender charge, or a license revocation hearing, we provide aggressive, strategic defense designed to protect your freedom and your future.
Monte focuses on serious and high-impact cases — including felony DUI, vehicular assault, drug-related driving offenses, and criminal traffic charges that carry long-term consequences.

With a reputation for courtroom results, clear communication, and personal attention, Monte fights to secure the best possible outcome in every case — no matter how complex or contested.
DUI Defense
If you’ve been arrested for DUI in Colorado, the consequences can be serious and far-reaching — including jail time, license suspension, mandatory education or treatment, and a permanent criminal record. At the Law Office of Monte J. Robbins, Esq., we bring over 20 years of courtroom experience to defending clients charged with DUI and alcohol-related driving offenses throughout the Denver metro area and beyond.
Monte personally handles every DUI case from start to finish — no handoffs to junior associates. Whether you’re facing a first-time DUI, prior convictions, or a felony-level DUI involving an accident or injury, we deliver aggressive, strategic defense focused on protecting your record, your freedom, and your future.
Don’t wait. After a DUI arrest in Colorado, you only have 7 days to request a DMV hearing or your license may be automatically revoked. DUI cases involve both a criminal court proceeding and a separate administrative license hearing — and early intervention can make a major difference in the outcome of both.
DWAI Defense in Colorado — Because Even a “Slight” Impairment Can Wreck Your Record
A DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) may sound minor — but make no mistake: Colorado law treats it as a serious criminal offense. You can be charged with DWAI even if your BAC is below 0.08. All it takes is a slight degree of alleged impairment from alcohol, drugs, or both. That means good people — with no criminal record and no bad intent — often find themselves in the crosshairs after having “just a couple” or using medication legally prescribed to them.
DWAI convictions carry real consequences: jail time, fines, points against your license, higher insurance premiums, and a permanent criminal record. And because these charges are based on vague and subjective standards, they can often be challenged — with the right defense.
If you’ve been charged with DWAI in Colorado, don’t assume it’s just a slap on the wrist. Call Monte J. Robbins for experienced, strategic defense that’s designed to protect your future — and fight back against charges that never should’ve been filed in the first place.

Felony DUI & Traffic-Related Crimes — Strategic Defense with Real-World Experience
Not all felonies involve violence — but they can still turn your life upside down. In Colorado, charges like felony DUI, vehicular assault, or felony drug offenses can carry years in prison, long-term license revocation, and permanent damage to your record.
At the Law Office of Monte J. Robbins, we focus on defending people charged with serious, traffic-related felony offenses — including:
- Felony DUI (typically after multiple prior convictions)
- Vehicular assault (DUI or reckless driving causing injury)
- Habitual traffic offender charges
- Felony drug offenses
- Driving under restraint with priors (alcohol-related or HTO-based)
With 20+ years in Colorado courts defending real people against real consequences, Monte personally handles every case from the initial consultation through the final resolution. Whether you’re hoping to avoid prison, save your license, or keep a felony off your record, we build smart, aggressive strategies that reflect the real stakes you’re facing.
These cases often require nuanced negotiation, forensic review, and a firm grasp of both criminal and DMV consequences. We understand what’s at risk — and we know how to fight for a result that protects your future.

Misdemeanors
Being charged with a misdemeanor in Colorado can feel overwhelming — even if it’s “only” a misdemeanor. The truth is, these charges can still carry jail time, steep fines, license consequences, and lasting damage to your record and reputation.
Whether you’re facing a DUI, careless driving causing injury, resisting arrest, or a criminal traffic charge, you deserve experienced legal help from someone who knows how to protect your future. With 20+ years in Colorado courts defending real people against real consequences, Monte J. Robbins provides strategic, hands-on representation for individuals charged with misdemeanor offenses — always with an eye toward avoiding jail, minimizing long-term fallout, and helping you move forward.
Don’t navigate the criminal system alone or assume you’ll get a break because it’s “not that serious.” Call now to learn how your case can be challenged — and your life protected.
Traffic Offenses & License-Based Crimes
Not all traffic offenses are created equal — and some carry life-changing consequences. Hit-and-run charges, careless driving causing injury or death, and Colorado’s enhanced vulnerable road user law can all trigger serious criminal penalties, DMV sanctions, and even felony charges. Worse still, even if you have auto insurance, you may still face court-ordered restitution in criminal court.
These cases demand focused, strategic defense. Yet many attorneys avoid them — either because they don’t fully understand the criminal-traffic crossover, or because they underestimate the damage these charges can cause to someone’s future.
Monte J. Robbins sees it differently.
With 20+ years in Colorado courts defending real people against real consequences, Monte has built a niche practice around traffic-related criminal cases that others overlook — or mishandle. He understands that in Colorado, losing your license can mean losing your livelihood, especially with limited public transit options. From DMV point suspensions to habitual traffic offender designations, Monte helps clients fight back — and move forward — with smart, strategic defense that protects their license, their record, and their future.
Juvenile Traffic & Alcohol Offenses
Protecting Colorado Teens from Lifelong Consequences
Teenagers make mistakes — that’s part of growing up. But in Colorado, a single reckless driving charge, drag racing ticket, or MIP (minor in possession) citation can quickly spiral into a permanent criminal record or the loss of driving privileges. And with limited public transportation, losing a license here doesn’t just mean inconvenience — it can mean lost jobs, missed classes, and long-term setbacks.
At the Law Office of Monte J. Robbins, we help young people (and their parents) navigate the criminal justice system with clarity, strategy, and compassion. We routinely represent juveniles facing charges like:
- Underage DUI/DWAI
- Minor in Possession of Alcohol (MIP)
- Reckless or Careless Driving
- Drag Racing
- High-Speed Violations
With 20+ years in Colorado courts defending real people against real consequences, Monte knows how to minimize the damage — whether it’s keeping a record clean, preserving driving privileges, or avoiding harsh penalties that can derail a promising future.
If your child has been charged, don’t wait. Early intervention matters — and so does having an attorney who knows how to protect their future.
Colorado Department or Revenue (DMV) Hearings
DMV hearings aren’t just about points and paperwork — they can determine whether you keep your license or lose your freedom. And very few attorneys know how to handle them correctly.
With over 20 years in Colorado courts and administrative hearings, I represent clients in a range of Department of Revenue (DMV) actions, including:
- Express Consent Revocation Hearings (DUI-related license revocations)
- Ignition Interlock Violation & Extension Hearings
- Point Suspension Hearings
- Interstate Licensing Problems — including helping Colorado residents obtain a license despite holds from other compact states
- Automobile Salesperson License Hearings — niche administrative proceedings that few attorneys understand or take on
This last category — along with interstate licensing issues — is highly specialized. I’m one of only a few attorneys in Colorado with experience handling these cases, and I know how to navigate the system when no one else seems to.
In a state like Colorado, where limited public transportation makes a car essential, a license suspension isn’t just an inconvenience — it can cost you your job, your independence, and your ability to care for your family.
I approach these hearings with the same attention to detail and preparation I bring to every courtroom case. Whether you’re facing a DUI license revocation, an ignition interlock violation, or a career-threatening license issue with the DOR, I’m here to help you get back on the road — legally and confidently.
