National DUI Attorneys
The National College for DUI Defense is an exclusive organization that exists to educate and train the country's top DUI defense attorneys. As DUI laws have become increasingly tougher in recent years, so has the need for educating and training criminal defense attorneys on the highly specific and scientific area of DUI defense. Because of this need the National College for DUI Defense was formed. The College provides the only DUI certification program recognized by the ABA (American Bar Association). The College offers regular training sessions on all aspects of defending DUI and other alcohol/drug-related driving offenses.
Each year the country's top DUI defense attorneys gather at Harvard for a training seminar on the latest legal concepts and DUI defense techniques. Rhidian Orr, senior partner and owner of The Orr Law Firm LLC, is a two-time graduate of the College's summer seminar program. Attorney Orr is one of only a few defense attorneys in Colorado to belong to the College and to have graduated from its summer session more than once. Attorney Rhidian Orr and attorney Stacie Woods are both active members of the National College for DUI Defense.
In order to keep its accreditation and reputation, the College requires all members and summer session attendees to complete a rigorous training schedule that includes the following:
- Effective trial skills, including making opening statements and closing arguments
- All aspects of breath and blood alcohol testing
- Methods for attacking field sobriety tests and breathalyzer tests
- Techniques for cross-examining police officers and prosecution experts
- Development and use of defense expert witnesses
- Anatomy, biology, chemistry, physiology, and toxicology as they relate to alcohol consumption
When considering a Colorado DUI lawyer, you should ensure that any lawyer you hire belongs to the National College for DUI Defense. The requirements for membership and vigorous CLE requirements ensure that only the most serious and competent DUI defense attorneys are allowed admission.
