It is a bit difficult to answer your question. Your boyfriend could be charged with both driving under the influence and, in Michigan, a violation of his concealed pistol license due to the fact he had been drinking. I would suggest you see an attorney immediately to explain all of the circumstances. It is possible that he will owe sloughs his driving privileges as well as his CPL.

He needs to hire a DUI specialist, because he has only 10 days to save his license. Remember, the DMV doesn't care about what happens in court.

It sounds like the DA may not have a blood alcohol or drug results back from the lab. If the judge ordered your boyfriend to go back to court on a specific date, he must make that appearance. If your boyfriend is being charged with DUI in Colorado he should consider retaining a DUI attorney. Depending on the case, there could be viable defenses and potential assertions of his rights that should be made. Providing a bit more time would allow you to find an attorney that your boyfriend is comfortable with and many attorneys may allow a payment plan in this situation.
