START YOUR FIGHT BY TALKING TO ME
Whether you were recently arrested for your first, second, or subsequent DUI offense, it’s vital that you engage a skilled and knowledgeable Colorado Springs DUI attorney. As the founder of Geoff Heim, Attorney, LLC, I am a former prosecutor with over 27 years of experience in criminal law.
As a proud member of the National College for DUI Defense, I am one of the Colorado Springs multiple DUI defense lawyers that have been leading the charge in challenging:
Colorado’s DUI laws are found under 42-4-1301 C.R.S. You can be arrested for DUI if your driving ability was sufficiently impaired by alcohol/and or drugs, or if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) registers at .08% or greater.
As a skilled Colorado Springs DUI attorney, I understand how DUI regulations and punishments are impacted by previous convictions. Unfortunately, if you have been convicted of one or two other DUI charges, the punishments you face after another arrest are much harsher.
First-Time DUI Offense
If you are convicted of your first DUI offense, you face a long road ahead. Your auto insurance premium may increase by around $3,000 and you could be forced to pay a host of other fees.
Not only that, but you could potentially lose your job and your freedom. Penalties increase when facing multiple DUI offenses, underage offenses, or if there is a child in the car while driving under the influence.
Second DUI Offense Within 5 Years (BAC of at least .08%)
Third DUI Offense within a lifetime (BAC of at least .08%)
In addition to the above fines and penalties, you may have to pay court costs, penalty surcharges up to $500 for persistent drunk driver programs, surcharges for the crime victim compensation fund, fees to reinstate your driver’s license, and other fees, charges, and penalties. If there was any damage to property, the court may enter an Order of Restitution.
If you’ve been arrested for DUI, you should learn about all of the defenses that may be available to you. By mounting a strong defense, we may be able to persuade the prosecution to reduce the charges, if not drop them altogether, thereby preventing the negative consequences of a DUI conviction. As a Colorado Springs DUI attorney, I understand the scientific and legal processes of a DUI case.
Some of the most common ways to challenge a DUI case include:
In many DUI cases, cross-examination of the arresting officer plays a big role, especially when I can demonstrate that the police officer’s testimony conflicts with the evidence on the officer’s dashcam.
If the officer describes you as slurring your speech and falling over drunk, but the video footage shows that you were acting completely normal and polite, this can poke some serious holes in the prosecution’s case.
As a Colorado Springs DUI lawyer, I urge you to contact Geoff Heim at once to discuss your DUI defenses and which defense strategies I would employ in your individual case! I gladly offer free case evaluations so you can become familiar with me and my credentials without any financial obligation from you. Call us now at (719) 636-8955 for a free consultation!

“I have known Geoff as a friend and attorney for nearly 20 years. He and I came up the ranks as DA’s in El Paso County-Colorado Springs. From early on, through this day, I am confident in saying that Geoff is one of the most creative, intelligent, hardworking and pleasant attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with. Geoff went into private practice several years before me and I have often consulted with him on cases both as a DA and now private attorney. He is always collegial, responsive and strategically very clever. To this day, we consult regularly on major criminal cases. Since I am in Denver and he is in Colorado Springs, I do not hesitate in referring him to clients who need a top-notch attorney in El Paso and surrounding counties.”

Welcoming, professional and friendly. Great people, Geoff was great and Molly was awesome!
Darius Moore
Wish I would have took this gentleman’s advice. He was upfront and honest and that is scarce in this day and age.
Christopher Tichy
While using Mr. Heim’s legal services, he and his team, provided nothing short of above and beyond. I will always highly recommend his services to anyone who is seeking legal assistance in the area.
Levi Sandoval
Geoff handled a minor traffic infraction I had in a timely manner, and, although I am not an expert, and one could say, allergic to legal matters, I found the settlement he obtained to be more than accommodating. More importantly, he takes the anxiety and fear out of what can be a daunting, painful process. As with anything of worth there are costs involved, however, he worked withing my budget. What should also be noted is that Geoff is a caring, and approachable human being, yet a highly organized and effective attorney.
John Roebke
The justice system is best navigated with a true professional on your side. I hired Geoff Heim to represent me on a case that I honestly didn’t think that I would stand a chance in winning. During the initial consultation, Geoff provided much needed reassurance that we did have traction and that there were certain aspects of the case that may return a potential dismissal or “lessor charged” verdict. Communication throughout the entire process was absolutely solid. I could call or email, and all questions were answered promptly. Geoff made sure that I completely understood all aspects of the case and the potential outcomes, in terms that I could easily understand. In the end, we ended up prevailing in my case as a dismissal was granted. I am confident that the dismissal would not have happened if it weren’t for Geoff. Thanks again for helping me succeed during a very difficult time!
Kelly Korte
Geoff provided expert legal advice, guidance, and representation in a kind compassionate manner. Always professional, but has a way about him that allows you as the client to feel complete trust in him. The outcome from my case could not have gone better. Geoff spent extra time and was willing to go back additional dates to ensure that the desired outcome was reached despite significant additional time commitment on his part. I am sincerely grateful for the service from Geoff as well as his assistant Molly who were both always quick to respond to any question no matter how trivial. In a time of great uncertainty it was extremely comforting having Geoff at my side.
Eric Richter
I referred a friend to Geoff because I had him represent me a while back with my case. Geoff is a stand up attorney. He cares about his clients and will go the extra mile to make sure your needs are taken care of.
SA ALTONEN

Tyler Wengert
Geoff helped my adult daughter twice with two very difficult situations. Even though it was a tense time for us all where emotions ran high, Geoff was always professional and working for the best for she and I. The outcome was wonderful and I appreciate it so much.
Pam Barber
If you need a great Lawyer and knows what he is doing. This is the man to go to! The years I was facing vs what I actually got was amazing. Thank you so much Geoff Heim. You’re the man and thank you again for you help.
Estevan Gaitan
super helpful thank you for all your help and insight!
Jim Briscoe
During COVID lockdown Geoff was able to help my brother. He and Molly were great to work with! I recommend Geoff to anyone needing a defense attorney.
Marsha Looper
I sent a request to Mr. Heim’s offices regarding some DUI/DMV issues I was having. I quickly received a response from Molly Hogan out of that office who asked for some additional information. When I provided it, she quickly looked up my cases and was able to offer me some invaluable information. The office didn’t make any attempt to charge me, nor force me into a consultation. They assisted me for no benefit, and it saved me time and difficulty. That shows integrity and a real desire to help when possible. I expected to need to pay for the expertise I received. Hopefully, I’ll never need an attorney again, but I’d go here without hesitation. My sincerest thanks to this office!
