Morgan County DUI Lawyer – Fort Morgan & Beyond

If you’ve been charged with DUI in Morgan County, you’re likely appearing at the Morgan County Justice Center in Fort Morgan. Morgan County is part of Colorado’s 13th Judicial District, which also covers Logan, Kit Carson, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, and Yuma Counties.

While the setting may be rural, a DUI here is just as serious as anywhere else in Colorado. A conviction can mean jail, probation, license revocation, fines, and long-lasting consequences for your future.

DUI Charges in Morgan County

In 2024, 277 misdemeanor DUI cases were filed in the 13th Judicial District’s county courts, including dozens right here in Morgan County. Prosecutors also filed 32 felony DUI cases district-wide — showing how aggressively prior offenses are pursued.

Cases in Morgan County are prosecuted by the 13th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and are typically filed by:

• Fort Morgan Police Department
• Brush Police Department
• Morgan County Sheriff’s Office
• Wiggins Police Department
• Colorado State Patrol

Misdemeanor DUIs are handled in Morgan County Court. Felony DUIs (a 4th offense or cases with serious injuries) are filed in District Court.

DMV License Hearings

If you’re arrested for DUI in Morgan County, you face two cases at the same time:

1. The criminal case in county or district court.
2. A civil license revocation case through the Colorado DMV.

You generally have just 7 days from your arrest (or notice of revocation letter) to request a DMV hearing. If you miss this deadline, your license will be revoked automatically. These hearings are held by telephone through the Colorado Department of Revenue.
