Rush, CO DUI and DWAI Law Firms & Lawyers

The law allows you to request that the Court order a refund of a portion or all of the money paid to a bonds person if the bond is reduced or vacated within 14 days of when it was posted.  The statute (below) is 16-4-110(2). You can file a motion with the court in your case and ask the judge to order the bonds person to refund some or all of the money you paid them:   16-4-110 (2) If, within fourteen days after the posting of a bond by a defendant, the terms and conditions of the bond are changed or altered either by order of court or upon the motion of the district attorney or the defendant, the court, after a hearing, may order a compensated surety to refund a portion of the premium paid by the defendant, if necessary and supported by factual findings, to prevent unjust enrichment.  If more than fourteen days have elapsed after posting of a bond by a defendant, the court shall not order the refund of any premium.

What charges are filed by the DA and to what severity would depend on the facts of your case and any other prior drug or alcohol related convictions. Even if this is a first offense, I would reccomend retaining a DUI attorney in your area as soon as you can. There are certain deadlines and timelines that must be followed in order to preserve your rights.

That can really vary depending on the court you are in. The sooner you handle this matter the better. You may want to consider hiring a private attorney to handle this case as it sounds like you are having some issues with the public defenders office. Based on what you wrote, this is a case you should fight, not just plea to a DUI.
