Clear Creek County DUI Lawyer — Georgetown DUI Defense
Arrested for DUI on I-70 or in Georgetown? Speak directly with a lawyer — not an intake team.
📍 Clear Creek County: Mountain DUI Enforcement is Different
Loveland Pass. Eisenhower Tunnel. I-70 ski traffic.
Clear Creek County isn’t Denver, and it isn’t suburban Arapahoe.
DUI enforcement here is aggressive, especially during ski season, holiday weekends, and random CSP saturation patrols.
Whether you were stopped in:
- Georgetown
- Idaho Springs
- Silver Plume / Bakerville
- Loveland Pass / Arapahoe Basin area
- Floyd Hill or the Eisenhower Tunnel corridor
…this courthouse sees a high number of DUI cases from out-of-state travelers.

⏳ Act Fast: Only 7 Days to Protect Your Driver’s License
After a DUI arrest in Clear Creek County, you have just 7 days to request a DMV hearing.
Fail to request it in time → automatic revocation.
This applies even if you’re from another state.
You do not request the hearing at the courthouse —
you request it through Colorado DMV / Department of Revenue.
Submitting a chemical test (breath or blood) may allow for early reinstatement with ignition interlock.
Refusal = harsher penalty + 60-day no-drive period.

You probably have questions about what happens next. Here are straightforward answers to the questions I hear most often from clients charged in Clear Creek County:
Q: Do I have to appear in person at the first court date in Georgetown?
A: Yes. Clear Creek County typically requires personal appearance at arraignment unless your lawyer has arranged otherwise with the court.
Q: Can a DUI in Clear Creek County be reduced or dismissed?
A: Sometimes. If there were issues with the stop, testing procedure, or officer credibility, I fight dismissal. Otherwise, I push for the best reduction available.
Q: I’m from out of state. Will Colorado notify my home state?
A: Most of the time, yes. Colorado reports suspensions to other states through the Driver License Compact. I help clients plan around this and avoid surprises.
Q: What is DWAI in Colorado?
A: DWAI (“Driving While Ability Impaired”) applies when alcohol/drugs affect driving “to the slightest degree.” BAC .051 – .079 supports a DWAI charge.
Q: Can the officer mistake altitude sickness or nerves for impairment?
A: Absolutely. Fatigue, altitude effects, medical conditions, and winter driving stress can mimic signs of impairment. These defenses often appear in mountain-town DUI cases.
