Fort Collins Criminal Defense Firm

How We Can Help

As defense attorneys, our primary role is to protect our clients' rights and interests throughout the criminal justice process. 

Key aspects of what we do: 

• Legal counsel. We provide legal advice and counsel, explaining the charges, potential consequences, and legal options to help you make informed decisions about your case.
• Case assessment. We thoroughly review the facts and evidence, assess the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecutor’s case, and identify potential defenses or arguments that can be made on your behalf.
• Strategy. Based on our assessment, we develop a strategic plan, which may involve challenging evidence, questioning the legality of an arrest or search, identifying witnesses, and determining the best course of action, such as negotiating a plea deal or going to trial.
• Legal research. We conduct extensive research to identify relevant statutes, case law, and legal precedents that can support the defense strategy. This research helps us build persuasive arguments in court.
• Court representation. We represent you in all proceedings, including pre-trial hearings, arraignments, and trials. We present legal arguments, cross-examine witnesses, and make motions on your behalf. 
• Negotiation with prosecutors. In many cases, we negotiate to explore the possibility of resolving the case through a plea agreement. We may negotiate reduced charges or lighter sentencing in exchange for a guilty plea.
• Witness preparation. If witnesses are to testify on your behalf, we prepare them for court appearances to ensure they provide accurate and credible testimony.
• Evidence gathering. In some cases, we may hire experts to gather evidence, conduct forensic analysis, or challenge the prosecutor’s evidence to support your case.
• Sentencing advocacy. If you are found guilty or plead guilty, we advocate for a fair and reasonable sentence. We may present mitigating factors, such as remorse or rehabilitation efforts, to influence the sentencing decision.
• Protecting your rights. Throughout, we protect your constitutional rights, such as the right to remain silent and the right to representation. 

Our team is well-versed in the intricacies of Colorado’s legal system. We understand that facing criminal charges can be frightening, and we are here to guide you through the process with compassion and professionalism.
