01 DUI / DWAI

DUI & DWAI Bail Bonds

DUI and DWAI charges in Colorado are subject to a statutory 10% bail bond premium and a mandatory 8-hour hold before bond can be posted.

02 Overview

DUI is defined in Colorado as a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher; DWAI is a BAC between 0.05% and 0.079%. Bail amounts depend on whether the charge is a first-time misdemeanor or a felony repeat offense, and Colorado law mandates an 8-hour hold from booking before a bond can be posted.

03 The Process

How dui / dwai bonds move.

  1. 01

    Wait out the 8-hour hold

    Colorado mandates an 8-hour hold from the time of booking before any bond can be posted on a DUI charge. Use the time to gather information.

  2. 02

    Call us at any time during the hold

    We start the paperwork immediately so the bond posts the moment the hold expires. The first advisement hearing happens within 48 to 72 hours of arrest.

  3. 03

    Sign electronically; we post

    We process the bond electronically at participating Denver-metro facilities so release follows on the standard 2–4 hour window once accepted.
