Criminal Defense Lawyers For Tourists
Defending Colorado’s Tourists
Those of us living in Colorado know we’re truly blessed. It’s a state with a solid economy, friendly people, and comfortable weather. There are a few parts of Colorado that are truly sublime, areas of arresting natural beauty that is unique to anywhere else on the plane, which is what brings thousands of tourists to Colorado each year.
Whether the visit involves skiing in winter or camping in summer, Vail Valley, located in Eagle County, along with Summit County, attract hundreds of thousands of tourists yearly. Most tourists enjoy a wonderful visit, but for some visitors, the dream of Colorado can turn into a nightmare. If you’re a visitor from out of state or out of the country, what can begin as a mistake or misunderstanding can quickly spiral out of legal control.
Every year, tourists are arrested and charged with crimes,
including the following:
- Possession of Marijuana
- Shoplifting
- Domestic Violence
- Drug Charges
- DUI
- Assault
- “Deceptive use of ski facilities” citation
Making matters worse, some tourists believe that if they are charged with a crime, they can simply leave the state and the problem will go away. If that happens, a warrant can be issued for their arrests, and an extradition order could be issued, which forces their return to Colorado. Penalties levied by Colorado judges can affect people in their home states, such as the suspension of a driver’s license.
