DISMISSEDCharge(s): Assault in the Second Degree (F4)Facing: Up to 16 years in prisonJurisdiction: Denver County, CODetails: J.H. was accused of assaulting an acquaintance inside his apartment. The alleged victim claimed that he was beaten for a lengthy period and he did have a broken nose. J.H.'s father hired me to defend his son against these serious allegations as he felt the public defender was not doing anything. The DA did not want to make an offer in this case given J.H. having an extensive criminal history. We ran the alleged victim’s criminal history and learned he had a history of drug abuse and had a felony record. We interviewed him as well and found he had some mental health issues. At trial, the alleged victim could not keep his story straight under cross-examination. ... I exploited these issues and showed the DA and the jury that his claims were not supported by any evidence and did not make any sense. The DA's final witness was the lead detective. We moved for a mistrial after the detective mentioned J.H.'s prior arrest. The judge agreed a mistrial was warranted and a new trial was set. The DA moved to dismiss the case prior to the new trial date. read more

Upon coming up to a red light, she rear-ended the car in front of her. That party called the police and Colorado State Patrol came to investigate. J.M. was observed to be behaving strangely after the accident. Although the trooper did not suspect alcohol use, she suspected J.M. may be intoxicated from her alprazolam prescription and arrested her for DUID. At trial, I vigorously cross-examined the trooper about things she allegedly observed that were more consistent with a medical condition rather than intoxication from benzodiazepines.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS YOU FOUND YOUR LAWYER!!!
I was on probation for my 2nd DUI and I had a lot going on in my life, and didnt show up for UA's, meetings, and more. I had a probation violation and didnt show up to court in October of 2018 and then had a warrant for my arrest. I found MATT MARTIN and I am so happy I did! I finished what I needed to do and he had my probation terminated and my case closed. He is magic.

The Public Defender Question & Dilemma
A common misconception about criminal defense is that opting for the legal services of a public defender is the smartest move you can make. While it is true that the help of any lawyer is better than no help at all, it’s important to keep in mind the fact that most public defenders are managing an overwhelming caseload.
They’re often spread so thin with their cases that they don’t have the time to dedicate to your case. While they may put their best put forward, they are unfortunately overworked and may not be able to devote as much energy into your defense. An experienced private criminal defense attorney, however, picks and chooses which cases to represent.
Matthew Martin is sure to accept cases whose law he has an in-depth knowledge of. You can also rest assured that when you’re represented by Matthew Martin, he is allocating all of his time/energy into your defense.

Moreover, most public defenders don’t have the track record of acquittals, dismissals, and reduced sentences that Matthew Martin does as they are usually fresh out of law school. Essentially, you are getting what you pay for. A public defender may be a good option for someone on a budget, but it’s not a wise decision if you’re charged with a life-changing crime.
The reduced cost of your defense won’t mean much if you’re in jail or suffering with the collateral consequences of your crime. When it comes to your future, don’t pick the bargain option and instead hire Matthew Martin of Law Office of Matthew A. Martin, P.C..
