Arapahoe County DUI Defense Attorney

Beating a DUI Charge in Denver

After a DUI arrest, it can be extremely stressful trying to figure out who to turn to and what to do. Many people do not realize that there are many different ways to beat a DUI charge. Without aggressive representation from me, an experienced Denver DUI attorney, you could end up getting a DUI conviction and serving the maximum punishment for the criminal charge. At the Law Offices of Joseph A. Lazzara, P.C., my team is more than ready to defend your future and protect your reputation.

I employ a wide range of different strategies to beating a DUI, including the following defenses:

Illegal stop of a person or vehicle
Standard field sobriety testing is inaccurate
Booking room videos and in-squad videos
Failure to provide speedy trial
Failure to prove driving under the influence
Failure to Mirandize
Failure to conduct observation period
Expert and independent witnesses
Lack of probable cause to arrest
Illegal search
Prior inconsistent statements by police officers
Post-driving absorption of alcohol
Interfering substances
Misleading statements by police officers
Failure to produce dispatch tapes

Failure to record certification tests
Forced blood draws

DUI Testing Defenses

With more than 25 years of legal experience as a Arapahoe County DUI attorney, I am very knowledgeable when it comes to the laws and various ways that law enforcement can make mistakes in DUI cases. I have used a variety of legal strategies to successfully defend my clients against field sobriety and chemical test evidence in their case.

The following are examples of defense strategies which can be used in regards to the initial testing:

Non-standardized field tests are invalid
Field sobriety test improperly administered
Breath testing is inaccurate
Police blood test inaccurate
Hospital blood test inaccurate
Breath test operator unlicensed
Breathalyzer machine malfunctions
Breath test operator license expired
Breath test device not approved
Portable breath test inadmissible
Medical and health problems affecting the testing
Breath machine not properly operated

"As this was my first situation involving a legal proceeding, he was very thorough in helping me understand what was going on and provided detailed information when requested."
I contacted Joseph Lazzara for information regarding my options after being charged with a DUI. He responded to me within the next day and was immediately available to explain my legal situation in depth before I hired him for his services. He was up front with details of his legal fees which were very affordable for this type of defense, especially considering the charges were in a county on the western slope. Throughout the entire process Joe was transparent and helped coach me along the way. As this was my first situation involving a legal proceeding, he was very thorough in helping me understand what was going on and provided detailed information when requested. With his diligence and expertise, Joe found multiple issues with the case and he was able to achieve dismissal at both the DMV hearing and district court cases. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I would not hesitate to contact Joseph Lazzara for legal assistance right away.

"He was frank and honest about my options. I finally felt like I had someone who really cared about my health and well-being."
I highly recommend Joseph A. Lazzara for personal injury cases. After hiring another well-known personal injury law firm, who offered horrible advice, I sought his second opinion. He was frank and honest about my options. I finally felt like I had someone who really cared about my health and well-being. He settled my case and I couldn't have been happier. Mr. Lazzara is extremely knowledgeable, confident and has an exemplary reputation.

He fought for me the entire way and ultimately won my case at trial. The one thing I can say is he was very thorough and knew more about DUIs than even the police officer or DA. Pros: Knowledgeable and a Fighter Cons: NONE

"Joe is a very personable, understanding, genuine, and honest guy."
Joe has helped me through possibly the worst time in my life. I made a grave mistake while driving drunk and putting my passengers in danger. I was facing jail time and more. He represented me for over a year, and in that time I got to know him. He is a very personable, understanding, genuine, and honest guy. He isn’t just a lawyer, he is also a human being that knows people make mistakes. I cannot put into words how this man has changed my life. He has not only helped me with my offense, he helped me get through this hardship mentally and emotionally. I would never take this man for granted. Every single penny spent on this man is worth it.

"Both he and his office staff were great at communication and fighting for the best outcome and have continued to assist with any additional questions."
Obviously from the second you get a DUI/DWAI, you feel small and scared (at least this is how I felt) and unsure about what laid ahead. I went online to look for reviews of an attorney my friend had referred me to. Luckily, I saw a review of Joseph A Lazzara; he had raving reviews so I made a phone call that day to schedule a consultation. From the beginning thru the end…Joe explained everything that was ahead of me (the unknown was the scariest part of the entire process for me). Both he and his office staff were great at communication and fighting for the best outcome and have continued to assist with any additional questions, including representing me w/ my DMV hearing. He fought for me to keep my license and even helped me get a reduction of my therapy track after I completed everything the court had asked of me. He helped me save time away from my family and money I would have spent on additional therapy sessions, even the judge said he rarely reduced his original decision. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Joseph Lazzara for anyone facing any charges within the court system, he will fight for you until the end!
