Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice provides comprehensive legal representation for individuals facing felony or misdemeanor charges. With decades of combined experience, including former prosecutorial roles, we develop strategic defenses tailored to each case. Our approach combines insider knowledge of prosecution tactics with personalized attention to protect clients' rights and achieve optimal outcomes through negotiations or trial representation.
DUI Defense
Specializing in DUI/DWAI defense, we challenge chemical test accuracy and police procedures while navigating Colorado's complex impaired driving laws. Our attorneys leverage prosecutorial experience to negotiate reduced charges or dismissals, particularly for first-time offenders, while developing technical defenses for complex cases involving drug impairment or commercial drivers.
Domestic Violence
We defend clients against domestic violence allegations with strategic approaches that challenge evidence credibility and address false accusations. Our defense strategies consider the unique legal framework of Colorado's domestic violence laws, including protection orders and mandatory arrest requirements, while protecting clients' parental rights and future opportunities.
Drug Crimes
Our drug crime defense covers possession, distribution, and trafficking charges involving controlled substances. We challenge unlawful search and seizure practices while addressing addiction treatment alternatives for eligible clients. Our experience includes defending complex cases involving methamphetamine, marijuana, and prescription drug violations under Colorado's evolving drug laws.
Sex Crimes
We provide vigorous defense for sex crime allegations including assault, indecent exposure, and internet-related offenses. Our approach combines forensic analysis of evidence with strategic negotiations to minimize registration requirements and collateral consequences, while protecting clients' reputations and future opportunities through trial preparation and plea mitigation.

An experienced attorney can identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case, challenge evidence admissibility, negotiate plea bargains, and develop defense strategies that may lead to charge reductions or dismissals.
What are common domestic violence defense strategies?
Common defenses include challenging false accusations, demonstrating self-defense, questioning evidence credibility, and addressing procedural violations during arrest to achieve charge dismissals or reduced penalties.
Can first-time drug possession charges be dismissed?
Yes, first-time drug possession charges may be dismissed through diversion programs, evidence suppression motions, or by demonstrating lack of possession/control over the substances involved.
What happens during a free consultation?
The attorney will review your case details, explain legal options, discuss potential defense strategies, and provide guidance on next steps while answering questions about the legal process.
How does prior criminal history affect sentencing?
