What to do if you’re arrested for a DUI, domestic violence, traffic, or other offense, or expect to be? Call an attorney Richard Jaye in Durango, CO! What can you expect during your first meeting?

Your initial meeting with Richard starts with a complete explanation of the events leading up to your arrest, or potential arrest. He will ask about any criminal history you may have, and will want to know if you’ve had any past accusations made against you, even if they were dropped or dismissed. If you have any drug or alcohol history such information is also important for him to know.

Once Richard understands what happened, and what you are or maybe charged with, he can explain possibilities and next steps. If your driver’s license is at risk he will explain the difference between those proceedings and the criminal proceedings. That discussion will include what needs to be done in each proceeding, and important deadlines that you need to know, and how he can help you with both.

If a restraining order has been issued against you he will explain to you your risks and responsibilities associated with this order.

Richard will discuss with you the potential outcomes of your case, and possible and likely sentences that you may face. As and attorney, Richard’s goal is for you to conclude your time with him with as complete an understanding of what you are facing, and a belief that his sole goal is for you to have the best possible outcome.
