At Trace Tyler Law, we help clients throughout Mesa County and the Western Slope protect what matters most: their license, their freedom, and their future.

DUI Charges in Colorado: What You’re Facing

Colorado takes impaired driving seriously. Here’s what you need to know:


  • DUI: Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher
  • DWAI: BAC of 0.05–0.079 – still a chargeable offense
  • CDL Drivers: BAC of 0.04 while operating a commercial vehicle triggers penalties

Penalties can include:

  • License suspension
  • Mandatory ignition interlock device
  • Fines, court fees, and community service
  • Jail time or probation


These cases are handled in Mesa County courts, and every decision—from the traffic stop to the field test—matters. We’ll look at everything with a fine-tooth comb.

Traffic Offenses We Handle

In addition to DUI and DWAI, we represent clients in:


  • Reckless or careless driving
  • Driving under suspension or revocation
  • Major speeding violations
  • CDL violations – including logbook issues, overweight loads, and failure to yield


We also serve CDL drivers who pass through I-70 or operate out of Grand Junction. If English isn’t your first language, don’t worry—we’ve helped many Russian and Ukrainian-speaking truck drivers navigate Colorado’s legal system with clarity and respect.

How We Build a Strong Defense

We start by listening. Then we investigate:

  • Was the traffic stop legal?
  • Was the breathalyzer maintained properly?
  • Did the officer follow correct field sobriety procedures?
  • Is there room to negotiate a reduced charge or diversion program?


If you hold a commercial license, we understand the urgency of keeping points off your record and minimizing any damage to your driving career. We’ll explain your options plainly and help you make smart decisions fast.

Why Legal Help Matters

Too many people plead guilty to DUI or traffic charges without understanding the long-term consequences. The truth is:

  • You can fight a DUI – and often win a better outcome
  • You need to act fast – Colorado has short deadlines to request license hearings
  • You don’t have to figure this out alone
