Jackson County DUI Lawyer – Walden, Colorado
🚨 Arrested for DUI in North Park? I handle the case so you don’t have to navigate a mountain courthouse alone.
Charged with DUI in Jackson County?
Being charged with DUI or DWAI in Jackson County is stressful — especially if you’re from out of state, on a hunting trip, or passing through on Highway 125 or 14.
Jackson County sees a high number of visitor DUIs, particularly from:
🎣 Hunters and anglers
⛺ Snowmobilers and campers
🚗 Drivers traveling between Steamboat and the Front Range
⛷️ Skiers passing through North Park
You are dealing with a small, remote courthouse that moves cases quickly and expects you to be prepared.
Where Your Case Goes
All DUI / DWAI cases from anywhere in Jackson County are heard at:
396 La Fever St.
Walden, CO 80480
There is one courthouse, one courtroom, and limited court dates.
Cases move fast.
There are no endless continuances like in the metro counties.
Who Pulled You Over?
Most DUI arrests in Jackson County come from:
- Colorado State Patrol — Troop 4B (Craig / North Park)
- Jackson County Sheriff’s Office
These agencies are accustomed to late-night DUI enforcement on long, dark mountain roads.
Stops often begin with something minor:
- License-plate light out
- Touching the fog line
- Speeding 3–7 mph over
- Weaving within lane
- Parking lot / “welfare check” contact
Mountain roads and gravel shoulders are not ideal for roadside sobriety tests — and that matters for your defense.
DMV License Hearing (Express Consent)
When you’re charged with DUI in Jackson County, you only have:
⏰ 7 days from arrest to request a DMV Express Consent hearing.
Miss that deadline → automatic license revocation.
- Breath test = hearing eligibility begins immediately
- Blood test = DMV mails results later (easy to miss if you’re from out of state)
All Jackson County DMV hearings are held by telephone.
You do not have to return to Walden for the DMV hearing.
Requesting the hearing protects your ability to drive while we challenge:
- Reason for the stop
- Probable cause
- Testing procedure
- Officer credibility
Why Jackson County DUIs Are Different
Jackson County:
- Has a small population, but high DUI enforcement per capita
- Moves cases quickly — fewer delays, fewer excuses
- Doesn’t soften penalties just because you’re “from out of town”
Your distance from the courthouse does not make the case easier.

Jackson County DUI – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to go to court in person in Walden?
A: Usually yes, but depending on the judge and the case type, I may be able to request virtual appearance or a waiver — especially for out-of-state clients.
Q: How long do I have to save my driver’s license?
A: You have 7 days from arrest to request a DMV Express Consent hearing. Miss the deadline, and your license is automatically revoked.
Q: Can I get early reinstatement with ignition interlock?
A: If you’re a Colorado resident and took a chemical test, early reinstatement may be possible. Refusals require a 60-day wait before reinstatement. I guide clients through timing, paperwork, SR-22, and ignition interlock setup.
Q: I live out of state. Do I have to fly back to Walden for every hearing?
A: Often no — but it depends on the judge and whether the case is misdemeanor or felony level. I file motions to request virtual appearance or waiver whenever possible.
Q: What if I was stopped on a remote mountain road with no lane lines?
A: Not every swerve equals DUI.
Rural highways, gravel edges, wind gusts, wildlife, and blind curves all affect driving — especially at night. I look for dash cam footage and inconsistencies to challenge weak “weaving” stops.
