Rhidian is a very effective defense attorney whom I would highly recommend. He was very thorough, personally spending a significant amount of time on my case. Due to his in depth knowledge of the law and his detailed review of my case, he was able to discover several procedural errors. He presented these facts in a professional manner at my hearing...

If you or someone you know was recently arrested for drunk driving, driving under the influence (DUI), or driving while ability impaired (DWAI), then it could mean serious consequences for the arrested individual’s future. What you do in the first seven (7) days after your DUI arrest is critical in protecting your rights and your privilege to drive. By working with a Colorado DUI attorney, you are working to make sure that not only are you able to make amends for your choices, but that you are able to protect your rights and minimize the impact this charge has on your life. Here are some reasons to seek the counsel of a DUI defense firm after you have been arrested for DUI.
As soon as you’re arrested, law officials will be recording your statements and answers to questions. As your Miranda rights state, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. A DUI lawyer will guide you on what to say and what not to say in order to ensure that your defense is strong.
A qualified DUI lawyer has created a wealth of professional expertise through years of academic studying and practical application. An experienced and knowledgeable lawyer will be able to guide you through the details of federal, state, and local laws and how they will impact your case, and ultimately, you.
While many people may attempt do-it-yourself legal work when completing small tasks, when you’ve been arrested for a criminal charge like a DUI, you probably want to minimize your risks. DUIs are lifetime offenses in Colorado and finding the right DUI lawyer to represent you is critical in protecting your rights. An experienced DUI lawyer can investigate and attack any errors in your BAC testing, challenging field sobriety tests to exploit issues with any test results.

As you begin to pack your bags and load the car for the long, holiday weekend, the Colorado Department of Transportation is also sending out its troops to begin cracking down on DUI. The Colorado DOT reports that “over 100 law enforcement agencies and Colorado State Patrol troops [will be] hitting roadways with increased DUI patrols and sobriety checkpoints.” During Independence Day weekend last year, the DOT reveals, “half of the 10 traffic fatalities that occurred in the state involved alcohol, and 620 drivers were arrested for DUI.”
This holiday weekend, celebrate responsibly by taking precautions to stay safe on the road and off. Here are some July 4th safety tips to help you celebrate Independence Day without ending the weekend in handcuffs:
Check your Vehicle’s Maintenance: Before you head for the highways, check to see that your car is in the right condition to make a long drive. Monitor tire pressure, put proof of car insurance in the glove compartment, and pack jumper cables in case your car battery dies. And don’t forget to buckle up before you hit the road.
Plan Ahead: During the holiday weekend, you’ll likely encounter heavy traffic, road blocks, and detours. Plan your trip ahead of time so you don’t feel the need to rush to your destination. CO Trip, a service of the Colorado DOT, provides information on the latest road conditions, closures, and traffic conditions.
Don’t Drink and Drive: Whether in the backyard, bar, or on a boat, do not mix drinking and driving. Drunk driving is never safe, but given the increased amount of alcohol and people traveling this holiday weekend, take the extra measure of putting sober friends' and cab company phone numbers on speed dial.
The Colorado DOT also provides free online and smart phone resources to help you monitor your BAC level, contact a cab company, and get home safely.

It can be easy to forget that driving is a privilege, and it can make for a rude awakening when you or someone you know faces the threat of having their driving privileges taken away. If you have been arrested for or charged with drunk or reckless driving, DUI, DWAI, or repeatedly violating traffic safety, you run the risk of having your license suspended. Protect yourself and your ability to drive with some these driving safety suggestions:
Don’t Get Tickets: Driving irresponsibly can be a crime. If you’ve established a bad habit of driving recklessly, make a conscious choice and effort to change. Obey speed limits and stop signs, and start adapting a “safety-first” mindset.
Don’t Drink and Drive: Whether or not you are facing a DUI charge or arrest, getting pulled over with any amount of alcohol in your system can have serious consequences. Always err on the side of safety: designate a sober driver, call a friend, or hail a cab home if you’ve had a drink.
Do Cooperate. When pulled over, drivers can be rude and abrasive in their interactions with law enforcement officials. While you do have the right to deny a field sobriety test, also show respect and be polite. If you want to refuse something, simply state that you respectfully refuse to answer questions on advice of counsel.
Do Hire a Good Attorney. An experienced, knowledgeable, and reputable DUI attorney can help you take action and defend yourself against a DUI conviction. A solid DUI defense may mean the difference between severe consequences -- possibly jail time-- and more mild repercussions.
Do Try to Understand the Law: There are plenty of online and in-person resources available that can help you translate complicated legal jargon into information you can understand. Take advantage of these free resources, and, if you have hired one, talk to your lawyer about your questions and concerns.

I've used Mr. Orr on several occasions for traffic incidents as well as other matters. He has been extremely professional, helpful and dilligent to win my cases. He took the time to answer all my questions and explain the legal system, laws and my options. I would definately hire Rhydian again and I highly reccoment him for any legal matter.
