Emilio De Simone, a Denver DUI Attorney discusses whether a DUI is a felony or a misdemeanor?
It can be both. If it's a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd DUI and no one was hurt or died in an accident, the DUI will likely be charged as misdemeanor.
On the other hand, if you've had 3 previous DUI or if the DUI resulted in serious bodily injury or death then the DUI will likely be charged as a felony.

Two Baby Pigs Seek and Find Sanctuary at Luvin Arms
Feb. 7, 2022 – On January 17th, the world commemorated the birthdays of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Betty White. Both individuals were beacons of compassion for the world, and exemplified the value of Ahimsa – nonviolence toward all living beings. Luvin Arms participated in the #BettyWhiteChallenge in January, and in honor of these two individuals who both took a stand for the rights of marginalized groups, Luvin Arms is sharing another inspirational story about miracles, hope, and the promise of a better life.
The day started off quiet, until the horse residents started running up and down their paddock, notifying the Luvin Arms’ animal care team that something was the matter. The staff looked to see what all the commotion was and couldn’t believe their eyes. Running towards Luvin Arms from the vast open fields were two baby pigs, literally running for their lives. They were shivering and cold. Their little ears were burned from the sun. The team had never seen two babies so hungry and so incredibly thirsty.
At first, the Luvin Arms’ staff had no indication of where these two babies had come from, or how they had made their way to the Sanctuary. The Luvin Arms’ staff now believes the two must have fallen off a transport truck on the nearby highway and journeyed together all the way to Luvin Arms.
Their arrival precisely to Luvin Arms is especially miraculous because all the surrounding properties are farm operations that use animals for profit. Out of all the neighboring land, somehow these two babies knew exactly which property was safe. Somehow they knew that Luvin Arms would welcome them with outstretched, truly “loving arms.” The two babies – a boy and a girl – were named Arnie and Frankie.
“Frankie and Arnie found their way to Luvin Arms against all the odds,” said Executive Director, Shartrina White. “It was a miracle that they escaped the transport truck. It was a miracle that they walked onto the property of a sanctuary instead of a farm. Now they need your help. Frankie and Arnie’s story is still unfolding. Help us give them the life-saving medical care they need.”
They arrived starving, and with a cough, fever, and sunburnt ears. They are now under strict quarantine, because Frankie has treatment-resistant roundworm, which is incredibly contagious. Arnie is suffering from a painful pee pocket, which requires daily attention from the animal care staff and may even necessitate surgery to permanently correct it.
Luvin Arms has set up a campaign specifically to raise medical care funds for these two new additions to the Sanctuary. For more campaign information, please visit: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/helprecuedpigsforbettywhitechallenge
Luvin Arms is a nonprofit animal sanctuary for abused and neglected farmed animals, based in Erie, Colorado. Luvin Arms is working to provide exceptional lifelong social, emotional, and cognitive care for their animal residents, and to advocate for those who have not been rescued by sharing their residents’ stories to inspire, educate, and empower others to embrace a more compassionate and sustainable lifestyle.

Local businesswomen Katie Lorsbach and Lauren Hughes hosted an appreciation event for over 100 members of the Boulder Police Department last month. Lorsbach, a financial representative with COUNTRY Financial and Hughes, a local Realtor on the Fletcher Team with EXP Realty, hired local restaurant McDevitt Taco Supply to drive a taco truck to Boulder Police Department and set up a full taco bar on recent sunny January afternoon.
“My brother-in-law is a police officer and I see how these men and women go above and beyond every day to protect and support our local community,” said Lorsbach. “I wanted to do something to show my appreciation and have an opportunity to thank them personally. Tacos are a crowd pleaser so I thought this would be fun. Chief Maris Herold and her entire department were so gracious and welcoming, I look forward to doing something for them again in the future.”
A program from COUNTRY Financial called Operation Helping Heroes helped Lorsbach make this happen. Through the program, COUNTRY Financial representatives can identify heroes in their communities and do something personal to give back.
Hughes also has a personal connection to these men and women that inspired her to get involved in hosting the event. Hughes was lucky to have survived the Marshall Fire but sadly, she lost her home and car. The Boulder Police Department was actively involved in evacuating her and more than 30,000 others.
“I wanted to offer a heartfelt thank you to all of the Boulder Police Officers and First Responders that were involved in helping to keep us safe,” said Hughes.
COUNTRY Financial has donated more than $4 million since 2020 to organizations and programs that support teachers, first responders, active-duty service members and veterans, supporting the company’s vision to “enrich lives in the communities we serve.” The Operation Helping Heroes program was created in 2015 to support non-profit events and programs that benefit active-duty service members, veterans and their families. Later, the program expanded to include first responders and teachers.

Denver, Colorado. Colorado’s Top Personal Injury Law Firm® trial lawyer James Avery has filed a civil cause of action for sexual misconduct against a minor under the newly enacted Colorado law (SB021-088, CRS 13-20-1202) governing Sexual Misconduct Against Minors in in Arapahoe County District Court, Centennial, Colorado (Case No. 2022cv30065) on behalf of Angelica Saupe (a retired Colorado 911 dispatcher) against Aurora Public Schools and David James O'Neill Jr (a former Rangeview High School basketball/softball coach, Fellowship of Christian Athletes leader, and campus monitor).
Plaintiff Angelica Saupe, age 35, claims that she was sexually abused as a minor (ages 14-17) for years (2000-2004) by Defendant David James O'Neill Jr., age 64, person in a position of trust as her basketball coach, at Aurora Public School’s Rangeview High School. O'Neill, then age 43, was not reported and not charged at the time of the offense. Saupe complained to law enforcement in 2007, at age 20, and was told charges would not be filed. Saupe has never been contacted by Aurora Public Schools, although she believes the School District was contacted by Aurora Police at the time of her complaint.
The newly enacted law (SB021-088), effective Jan 1, 2022, creates a new cause of action effectively setting aside time limits in cases going back to 1960. Victims have 3 years (until Jan. 1, 2025) to file previously time barred claims the new law.
The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of damages. Damages under the new law, C.R.S. 13-20-1201, are capped at Five Hundred Thousand or One Million Dollars depending on the facts of the case.
Denver trial lawyer James Avery comment on the new law: "This is an unprecedented opportunity for justice where it is truly needed. I have turned away dozens of clients who were sexually abused as children but who didn't come forward in time to file a case. This new law gives them a remedy, albeit a limited one. These victims invariably suffer for a lifetime and the abuse effects their families, their jobs, their social relationships, virtually every aspect of their lives. To have this new tool in the arsenal to help them is a big step forward for society at large. For the defendants in these heinous cases, its a day of reckoning.". This is one of five new case filings by Denver Injury Law LLC under the new Act.

Kaempfer, an adult, now age 77, was not reported and not charged at the time of the offense, although Norris alleges other counselors and teachers were aware of the misconduct. Norris complained to law enforcement in 2015 and Boulder Sheriff Office refused to take a complaint.

We lost our Louisville home in the Marshall Fire, 12-30-2021
Since I couldn't sleep, I wrote down my thoughts about the experience. Perhaps others of you can relate...
_____
It’s 3am, Saturday, and I’m wearing the same clothes I had on when I fled my Louisville home two days ago as flames and smoke bore down on us from the north, the west, and the south. I have little else to wear.
We moved into our Louisville neighborhood 30 years ago, into one of only four homes that existed in a rolling pastureland southeast of Boulder. Three of those homes are still occupied by original owners, all good friends of ours, now. Additional homes were built. New neighbors, new friends. As a tightly knit community, we’ve celebrated births, holidays, graduations, retirements, and weddings together. We’ve endured hail, floods, and two years of pandemic together. Now we’ve experienced fire together.
Tomorrow we will gather in our cul-de-sac and talk about our future together, or sadly, perhaps apart.
I’ve passed through a bewildering variety of states and experienced an entire spectrum of emotions in the last forty-eight hours: concern, disbelief, excitement, dawning awareness, panic, anticipation, fear, anger, loss, frustration, despair, and resolve.
I sit here, jerked awake at the witching hour by another moment of panic, still smelling of smoke. I realize I’m the proud owner of a square concrete hole in the ground filled with dust, ash, twisted metal, and memories.
Tears come. I remember:
We evacuate on Thursday afternoon to my daughter’s house in Denver. Our son is on the phone. My brother. We had all just Zoomed together on Christmas Day. We spend every waking moment texting and emailing, hungry for the newsfeed playing before us. Video from South Boulder Road, hillsides to the south of Superior, Avista hospital, and Harper Lake, a place I walk nearly every evening. A place I know intimately. What of the geese?
As awareness of the devastation begins to spread, so many friends, family members, and colleagues offer so much. I tell them, and I believe, that this is a liberating opportunity. A chance to revisit the many decisions and choices that brought me here. A chance to pick a new path. I ask myself how it can be an opportunity when it throws me to the ground and seems to offer no quarter. But it is.
As for that new path? Fewer things, I guess, as a start. Everything I own fits in my Subaru now. Every. Single. Thing.
Flashes of objects I should have grabbed in the mad rush haunt me: heirlooms, paintings, drawings, tools my dad crafted by hand. My guitar. Scribbles created by my young children. It hurts. Terribly.
Still, there are things we have done; things we have created, written, and sung; food we have cooked and shared; music we have performed. Our laughter. Our tears. Parts of us are out there in the world, parts of other persons’ lives now. Not burned away. There is solace in that.
Now, my wife Debbie and I need to find a place to stay while we figure out how, and what, to rebuild. A home better aligned to a 2022 version of us. Simpler. Smaller. Fewer stairs. Fewer bedrooms. More windows on the south side. A roof better angled for solar panels. More shop space. A deck outside where we can sit and chat with our neighbors and friends on a gorgeous Colorado day. Better fire-resistance.
We are tough, we Coloradans. We folk of Louisville. We neighbors of Larkspur Court. We do things and we care deeply: About each other. About our environment. About fairness and honesty.
We will get through this, each of us, good friends. But that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt. Please stay close.

Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary will host a months-long New Year, New You campaign of events focused on the health benefits of a plant-based lifestyle. Events will include a plant-based 101 cooking demo, a speaker panel of plant-based medical experts, and the film screening of acclaimed documentary, What the Health.
The Luvin Arms New Year, New You campaign will also include the Sanctuary’s first ever mentorship program for anyone interested in trying a plant-based diet. Each person who pledges online to try a plant-based diet for the entire month of January will be paired with a free inspirational vegan mentor who will provide all the one-on-one, customized support needed to successfully transition to a plant-based lifestyle.
“On a plant-based diet, we can thrive healthfully for our entire lives,” said Director of Advancement in Ahimsa, Emma Schwarz. “By choosing to incorporate more plant-based meals into our diet, we can extend our lifespan, and most importantly, our healthspan. Our healthspan is the span of time in our life when we are healthy, fit, and mobile. By investing in our health before diseases arise, we are unfettered by the financial burden of medical expenses in the management of preventable chronic diseases, such as heart disease.”
Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 nonprofit animal sanctuary for abused or neglected farmed animals in Erie, Colorado. Luvin Arms is working to provide exceptional lifelong social, emotional, and cognitive care to rescued farmed animals, and to advocate for those who have not been rescued by sharing their residents’ stories to inspire, educate, and empower others to embrace a more compassionate and sustainable lifestyle.
