Denver Criminal & DUI Defense – Personally Handled, Courtroom-Tested

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.
