After more than a decade with the Denver legal firm Sandomire & Schwartz, attorney Gabriel Schwartz established his own private practice. Gabriel Schwartz serves clients in and around the Denver area facing driving and traffic charges, such as violations of driving under restraint laws.

In Colorado, residents who are found operating a vehicle with a suspended or revoked license can be charged with driving under restraint (DUR). Non-residents can also run afoul of DUR laws if their applications for Colorado licenses have been denied. Charges can range from misdemeanors to a simple traffic offense depending on several factors.

If the license restraint was due to alcohol violations, drivers may face up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. However, if the loss of the license was not related to alcohol, the maximum consequences are less severe. In both situations, multiple DUR offenses can lead to the loss of the right to hold a license in Colorado.
