Community Service in Colorado DUI Cases

Doing Community Service for Colorado DUI cases

If you are convicted of a DUI or enter a plea agreement to a DUI the Colorado law requires that you complete community service. The number of hours of community service you will be required to complete will vary depending on whether you are dealing with a DUI or a DWAI, the BAC, and your prior alcohol related driving offense history. Some jurisdiction leave the number of community service hours open to the judge to decide while others negotiate the number of community service hours you will complete during the plea negotiation. Most Colorado jurisdictions also have an agency that is used to help you find a place to complete your community service as well as to verify the number of hours of community service completed. There is usually a fee associated with completing community service.
