Arapahoe County Traffic Lawyer – Centennial, Colorado

Arapahoe County Traffic Attorney Monte Robbins represents drivers facing traffic infractions, criminal traffic charges, Driving Under Restraint (DUR), and DUI/DWAI cases in the Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial, Colorado.

Traffic infractions are non-criminal, but criminal traffic charges can carry possible jail time, points, and long-term consequences on your Colorado driving record.

I represent Colorado residents, out-of-state drivers, and CDL holders — and in many cases, I can appear in court on your behalf, saving you the trip.

Where Your Case Will Be Heard

Arapahoe County Justice Center – Centennial, Colorado

Many traffic and criminal-traffic cases begin in Division 101, the magistrate division.

From there, cases may:

• Stay in Division 101 for resolution, or
• Be reassigned to a trial division before a county court judge.

➡️ Strategic consideration:

In certain cases, the defense strategy may be to move the case into a trial division and object to the magistrate so the matter proceeds before a county court judge. Whether that benefits you depends on:

• The charge,
• The procedural posture, and
• Your defense goals.

Traffic Enforcement in Arapahoe County

Arapahoe County consistently ranks among the busiest traffic enforcement counties in Colorado.

Major law-enforcement agencies include:

• Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office
• Centennial Police / Arapahoe County contract units
• Aurora Police Department (partial overlap — Arapahoe & Adams Counties)
• Colorado State Patrol
• Greenwood Village Police Department
• Cherry Hills Village Police Department
• Englewood Police Department

These agencies conduct frequent highway saturation patrols, especially along I-25, I-225, E-470, and Arapahoe Road.

Common Traffic & Criminal Charges

I defend all traffic and criminal traffic offenses, including:

• Driving Under Restraint / Revocation
• Driving Without a License or No Valid License (NVDL)
• Reckless Driving
• Careless Driving (with or without injury)
• Leaving the Scene / Hit and Run (attended or unattended vehicle)
• Speeding 20+ / 40+ over
• Eluding a Police Officer
• Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO)
• No Insurance (42-4-1409)

If your charge involves driver’s license suspension, see:

👉 Colorado Driving Under Restraint (DUR) – License Suspension Defense

If the issue involves a five-year HTO revocation, see:

👉 Colorado Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO / DARP) Defense – Five-Year Revocation

Points & License Consequences

Colorado uses a point-accumulation system — too many points triggers a DMV Hearing and suspension.

⚠️ DUR, Reckless, Leaving the Scene, and DUI/DWAI are “major” point offenses

→ They count toward Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO) status (C.R.S. 42-2-202).

Driver’s License Suspension & Reinstatement

License reinstatement often involves:

• SR-22 filing
• Clearing OJWs (Outstanding Judgment Warrants)
• Interlock requirements (for DUI-related DUR)
• Colorado residency issues (for early reinstatement)

I regularly handle complex driver’s-license reinstatements — including SR-22 issues, multiple suspensions, and out-of-state complications — the kind of reinstatement work many lawyers avoid.

Why Representation Matters

A criminal traffic conviction can impact:

• Your driving privileges
• Employment (especially CDL/professional drivers)
• Insurance rates
• Background checks

An experienced Arapahoe County traffic lawyer can:

✅ Reduce or eliminate points

✅ Prevent or minimize suspension

✅ Appear in court on your behalf (in many cases)

✅ Identify HTO risks before the prosecutor does

You don’t have to go into court alone.
