Colorado Springs Traffic Violation Attorney
A minor traffic ticket or license suspension can lead to a spiral of traffic-related offenses that result in jail, steep fines, high insurance and long-term revocation of driving privileges. At the Law Firm of David W. Foley, we help clients break this cycle and correct past mistakes to limit the consequences of new traffic charges.
Based in Colorado Springs, we serve El Paso County, Teller County and surrounding Colorado. We have represented many Hispanic clients caught without a valid license or insurance, as well as area military personnel with traffic violations. Find out how we can help.

Digging Out of a Deep Hole
Hard financial times cause people to let their car insurance lapse, or to drive after losing their license from a DUI. But driving without a license carries mandatory jail time and 1 to 5 years of further suspension. Driving with no insurance has similar penalties. Soon you have accumulated enough offenses to be prosecuted as a "habitual offender" — a felony punishable by up to one year in jail and a five-year revocation.
David Foley is a former prosecutor who understands how to "undo" traffic violations to get clients a second chance:
- He may ask the judge for a deferred sentence that avoids jail time and suspension if there are no more traffic violations or arrests.
- Or he may try to get the original driving while suspended charge amended to "no operator's license." The related offenses can then be dismissed, and the client can once again obtain a valid license.
Mr. Foley also accompanies clients to DMV driver's license hearings to challenge the suspension, or helps clients get reinstated after a long suspension or revocation.
If you have been charged with a serious traffic crime, or need to resolve a lesser traffic violation to avoid the points and insurance hikes, contact our Colorado Springs office for a free initial consultation.
