Search the internet for a DUI attorney in Colorado and you will literally find hundreds of firms claiming to be the right match for you. Which brings us to the question presented; why hire The Bussey Law Firm, P.C.?
The founder of The Bussey Law Firm, P.C., Timothy Bussey, has been handling DUI cases since 1994. Mr. Bussey was an active duty Judge Advocate at Peterson AFB and defended military members. During this time, Captain Bussey was assigned to defend an active duty pilot who was facing a separation for a DUI allegation that took place in Texas. This was an officer separation board where the burden of proof was a preponderance of the evidence rather than the criminal standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
This was Captain Bussey’s very first DUI case, and defending the pilot was no easy task. However, Bussey has never been one to back down from a fight. He presented the problems on the case and prevailed on a .190 BAC breath case in front of a military panel. After this case, Captain Bussey went on to successfully handle DUI cases for other military members.
In 1995, Mr. Bussey left the active duty Air Force, staying on in the reserves, and became a prosecutor in El Paso and Teller County for the Fourth Judicial District. In his capacity as a prosecutor, Mr. Bussey prosecuted hundreds of DUI cases and took many of them to jury trial. This gave him the unique perspective of being on both sides of a DUI trial.
In 1997, The Bussey Law Firm, P.C. was established. Mr. Bussey has been at the forefront of DUI Defense ever since. He is a requested national speaker, a nationally published author, and an attorney whose work has been referenced by the United States Supreme Court.
