Ignition Interlock Violation

If you’ve received a notice from the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that your ignition interlock requirement will be extended for a period of one (1) year, it is imperative that you request a hearing on the alleged violations.

DMV will move to extend a driver’s ignition interlock obligation for a period one (1) year if the ignition interlock system stopped them from driving the vehicle as the result of three (3) “lockouts” in a twelve (12) month period. A driver is entitled to notice, discovery, and a hearing on the alleged violations.

The threshold alcohol level in Colorado for the interlock devise is .025.

The ignition interlock machines are highly sensitive computers that can sometimes give false readings. A driver is entitled to a copy of the ignition interlock reports in advance of the DMV hearing. The driver may present evidence and argument regarding the validity of the alleged violations. If three (3) violations in a twelve (12) month period are not sustained, the driver will not be required to submit a new ignition interlock lease agreement.

Based upon the evidence presented at the hearing, the hearing officer may or may not order an extension, or he/she may reduce the period of the extension.

If you’ve received notice that your interlock requirement will be extended it’s important to hire experienced counsel to represent you at a hearing on the violations.

Circumventing Interlock or Driving Without Interlock
Client Reviews
★★★★★
"An excellent lawyer choice for my son who was charged with driving while his license was revoked. DMV had mistakenly sent (3) letters of revocation to the incorrect address, so I hired Monty to prove that my son never knew his license was revoked. Monty kept me informed at all times as to what was happening and what he doing to prove my son's innocence in this matter. We were to appear in court on 29 March 2012 and Monte informed us on 27 March 2012, that the case had been dismissed!!! Monte charged a fair, flat rate for what he did in this matter and should the need arise to hire a lawyer or to recommend a lawyer, I would not hesitate to give Monte's name.” Linda

"I consulted three other attorneys on my traffic offense in Colorado and none of them thought I could beat it. Then I consulted with Monte Robbins. He not only relieved my warrant without my presence in Colorado, but he got my habitual driving offense reduced to an infraction. I was up against the wall on this case but thanks to Monte miracles are possible. I have hired my share of attorneys and Monte Robbins has produced the best results for me yet. After being without my driving privileges for ten years I paid a small fine and am legal with a clean record. I Highly recommend this attorney." Steve

"I hired Monte J. Robbins to represent me. He gave 110% to my case never rushed me off the phone, quick to gather all information regarding my case. Monte is very knowledgeable and helped me out a lot. He kept me informed every step of the way through my case. I was always able to get a hold of him for any questions i had. The outcome of my case was way better then i had expected. Monte did a excellent job on my case and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Monte won my case and I am confident that he can do the same for anyone else." Jeremy
