Denver’s Best Criminal Defense Attorney and DUI Lawyer

“I WILL FIGHT TO PROTECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW.”

For over 25 years, I have been protecting the legal rights of DUI and criminal suspects by leveraging my deep, exhaustive understanding of Colorado law. As a proven trial attorney with a strong track record of delivering not guilty verdicts for my clients, I have the expertise, aggressive demeanor, and legal knowledge necessary to best represent my clients in criminal court. 

I know you have a choice when it comes to selecting a criminal defense lawyer to represent you. I realize there are dozens of highly qualified, capable attorneys in the state of Colorado who you could turn to in your time of need. However, I will tell you that I’ve seen a lot of negative outcomes as a result of avoidable mistakes made by lawyers who do not specialize specifically in criminal defense. 

These mistakes can prove to be tragic for the accused. And, this doesn’t have to be the outcome in your case.

A skilled Denver Criminal Defense Attorney can review your case right away!

With as tragic as a criminal conviction could be, it makes the most sense to retain the legal services of a criminal defense attorney who only takes on cases involving DUI, felony, or misdemeanor crimes. 

I don’t write wills. I don’t do estate planning. I don’t handle divorce cases. 

I only represent those accused of crimes in Colorado. Period.

The Importance of Time in a Criminal Case

Many people think that the most valuable resource for anyone being accused of a crime is money. They think that, if they have enough money, they can afford the best attorney out there and, as a result, get a reduced sentence, an acquittal, or some other optimal outcome. 

This is not true. 

The most valuable resource for felony or misdemeanor suspects is time. Time is, by far, the single most critical variable in any criminal case. The more time you have to strategize about your case with a qualified attorney, the better off you’re going to be. Furthermore, the sooner you take action to hire an attorney, the better your chances are of beating your case or getting reduced penalties. 

Without a doubt, money is required to compensate a competent criminal defense attorney for his or her services. However, legal fees can often be paid off over time, and I do everything in my power to make my services affordable for those who need them. I will work with you to arrive at a payment arrangement you can live with. But, because time truly is of the essence in any criminal case, you need to contact me for a consultation immediately. 

The Public Defender 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 case load. 

They’re often spread so thin with their cases that they don’t have the time to dedicate to your case. 

Moreover, most public defenders don’t have the track record of acquittals, dismissals, and reduced sentences that I do as they are usually fresh out of law school. When it comes to making the choice to go with a no-cost public defender versus hiring me, you are going to get what you pay for. 

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you cannot afford a powerful legal defense. Not only is your initial consultation with me completely free, but you can usually pay your legal fees according to terms that make the most sense for your unique situation. 

We’re talking about your future here. This isn’t something to take lightly, and even though a public defender might be substantially cheaper than hiring me, you can’t put a price on your freedom and good name.

My Areas of Expertise

Effectively defending those accused of a crime in Colorado requires calculation, boldness, extensive legal knowledge, and the ability to negotiate with prosecutors and judges. If any of these traits are lacking in a defense attorney, the outcome is likely not to be in the accused’s best interest.

Furthermore, developing a defense strategy for one type of crime is going to vary compared with another type of crime. For example, building a strong DUI defense is going to be wholly different from defending against an assault case. 

For this reason, it’s crucial to hire an attorney who knows exactly how to formulate a defense strategy that is specific to the crime in question. 

In my 25+ years of practicing criminal defense in Denver, I have passionately protected the legal rights of individuals accused of:

• Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of drugs and/or alcohol
• Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI)
• Drug possession, distribution, and manufacturing
• Vehicular homicide and manslaughter
• Child sexual assault
• Firearm-related crimes (concealment, menacing, illegal sale, etc.)
• Sexual Assault
• Vandalism, theft, fraud, or harassment

If there is a law on the Colorado books that can be used to find an accused person guilty of a crime, I have the ability to defend that person in a way that upholds their constitutionally granted rights as a US citizen.
