Colorado criminal defense laws
Every state has different criminal laws and penalties. Here's what you need to know about defending charges in Colorado.
DUI / DWI Laws
DUI: 5 days to 1 year jail, $600-$1,000 fine, 9-month license revocation. DWAI: up to 180 days jail, $200-$500 fine
DUI: 10 days to 1 year jail, $600-$1,500 fine, 1-year license revocation, 2-year ignition interlock
Colorado has a unique DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) charge at 0.05% BAC, in addition to DUI at 0.08% and DUI per se. The DWAI is a lesser offense but still carries criminal penalties and immigration consequences. Colorado uses a lifetime lookback — all prior offenses count regardless of when they occurred.
Drug Laws
Legal for adults 21+ (up to 2 oz). Colorado was one of the first two states to legalize recreational marijuana in 2012 (Amendment 64). Under 21 or over limits: petty offense to misdemeanor.
Colorado was a pioneer in marijuana legalization (2012, alongside Washington). However, marijuana remains illegal under federal law — any marijuana use, possession, or employment in the marijuana industry can result in deportation, denial of naturalization, or inadmissibility for non-citizens. Colorado has no mandatory minimums for most drug crimes.
Assault & Self-Defense
Third degree assault — class 1 misdemeanor, up to 364 days jail, $1,000 fine
First degree assault — class 3 felony, 10-32 years prison. Second degree assault — class 4 felony, 2-8 years
Colorado has one of the strongest castle doctrine laws in the country — the "Make My Day" law (CRS 18-1-704.5). Homeowners may use deadly force against an intruder who has made an unlawful entry and the occupant reasonably believes the intruder might use physical force against any occupant. In public, Colorado requires a reasonable belief of imminent threat but does not have a statutory duty to retreat.
Criminal Thresholds & Expungement
Colorado expanded record sealing significantly in 2022. Most criminal records are eligible for sealing after waiting periods: petty offenses immediately, misdemeanors after 2 years, many felonies after 3+ years. Drug offenses and some felonies have specific eligibility rules. Sealed records are not destroyed but are hidden from public view.
Colorado uses class 1-6 felonies (class 1 most serious) and class 1-3 misdemeanors. The state has no mandatory minimum sentences for most crimes. Colorado's 2022 record sealing expansion was one of the most progressive in the country.
Immigration Consequences
Colorado's progressive policies provide some protections, but federal immigration law applies to all criminal convictions. The DWAI charge at 0.05% BAC can still trigger immigration consequences if it involves a sentence of 180+ days. Marijuana convictions — even for conduct legal under Colorado law — remain fully deportable under federal law. The Make My Day law provides strong self-defense protections but a conviction for excessive force could be an aggravated felony. An Arabic-speaking attorney who understands both Colorado criminal law and federal immigration consequences is essential for any non-citizen facing charges.
For Arab and Muslim community members with immigration concerns, it is critical to have an attorney who understands both criminal defense strategy and immigration consequences. A conviction that seems minor can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or loss of visa status.
