Jefferson County DUI Lawyer – Golden DUI Defense

Arrested for DUI in Jefferson County?

Speak directly with a lawyer — not an intake team.

✅ (Updated for 2025 — reflecting current DUI filing data and laws in Jefferson County, Colorado.)

If you’ve been arrested for DUI or DWAI in Jefferson County, Colorado, you’re facing one of the state’s toughest and busiest courts — the Jefferson County Justice Center in Golden.

With over 1,300 DUI and DWAI cases filed in 2024, including nearly 90 felony DUIs, Jefferson County remains one of the state’s most active and demanding DUI jurisdictions.

I’m Monte Robbins, a Jefferson County DUI lawyer with more than 20 years of courtroom experience defending clients in Golden and throughout Colorado.

I personally handle every case — no associates, no hand-offs. My approach is handcrafted defense — built from experience, strategy, and common sense, not cookie-cutter templates.

Act Fast — Only 7 Days to Protect Your License

After a DUI arrest in Jefferson County, you have just seven days to request a DMV hearing (Express Consent Revocation Hearing). Miss that window, and your license is automatically revoked — often before you ever appear in court.

• The DMV case is separate from your Jefferson County Court case.
• Hearings are held by the Colorado DMV, not a judge.
• The burden of proof is lower, making it easier for the state to suspend your license.
• If your license was already revoked for DUI, a Driving Under Restraint – Alcohol Related charge can make reinstatement even harder.

That’s why I fight on both fronts — the DMV and the criminal court in Golden — to protect your license and your future.
