Services
DUI Defense
Our DUI defense attorneys challenge breathalyzer accuracy, question traffic stop legality, and negotiate charge reductions. With former prosecutor insights, we exploit weaknesses in the prosecution's case to secure dismissals or lesser charges. Our team understands Colorado's complex DUI laws and fights to protect clients' driving privileges and futures through strategic courtroom representation and plea negotiations.
Criminal Defense
We defend against all criminal charges including misdemeanors, felonies, and domestic violence allegations. Our former prosecutor experience provides unique advantages in predicting prosecution strategies and negotiating favorable outcomes. We protect clients' rights through evidence challenges, witness cross-examinations, and tailored defense strategies focused on minimizing penalties and preserving futures.
Personal Injury
Our personal injury attorneys pursue maximum compensation for car accidents, slip-and-falls, and wrongful death cases. We handle insurance negotiations, medical bill recovery, and pain-and-suffering claims while clients focus on recovery. With contingency fee arrangements, we ensure access to justice without upfront costs, only charging if we win compensation.
Felony Defense
We challenge felony charges through evidence suppression motions, witness credibility attacks, and plea bargain negotiations. Our team leverages local court knowledge to reduce charges or secure alternative sentencing options like deferred judgments. We protect clients' futures against life-altering penalties including prison time and lifelong criminal records.
Misdemeanor Defense
We prevent long-term consequences of misdemeanor convictions through charge dismissals, probation negotiations, and record sealing. Our defense strategies challenge evidence reliability and exploit procedural errors while educating clients about collateral consequences affecting employment and education opportunities.
