I was charged with DUI in Feb 2020. I refused breath alcohol tests and chemical test. I did not know back then that refusal would automatically get me 12pts on license, and a DUI charge. This was my first offense. I talked to Barry and hired him immediately. Barry is a great listener, he documents all that I mentioned, and he has a streamlined system for managing documents/paperwork for each client. I really liked the fact that Barry was available when I called initially and did a free consultation with me before onboarding me as a client. Due to COVID, my court dates kept moving out again and again. My final date to plead was almost 1 year after the charge. During this time, following Barry's advice, I had completed Level2 classes & counseling, MAD victim panel and had got a recommendation letter from my level2 counselor. Barry used his soft-skills and negotiated with the DA for a non-alcohol charge. The DA agreed to it and reduced my charge to 8pt reckless driving. On the final day of sentencing, the judge looked at DA recommendation and accepted it. The judge even waived all fines and fees because I had completed my level2 classes. My level2 counselor mentioned to me that this was an unheard of result. Most 1st time refusals usually get pled down to DWAI charges, but she had never had a case where it got pled down to non-alcohol charge. I cannot thank Barry enough for this great resolution. This was the scariest experience of my life and I felt Barry gave me good confidence and direction on how to proceed on each step of the way. He asked me to complete the level2 & MAD panels quickly so we can get a good agreement from the DA. And I think Barry has great negotiation skills, that he was able to get the DA to reduce the charges. If you are in this situation, I highly recommend hiring Barry to represent you. Don't try to deal with this yourself. You need a good lawyer. You need and a lawyer that has a good reputation of negotiating deals with the DA. You need a lawyer who is committed to take your case to trial if need be. You need a lawyer who has a reputation of winning cases for his clients. Barry checks all of these categories and I highly recommend him. Good luck!

I never write reviews, but honestly Mr. Lancaster took the time to actually listen to my domestic violence case and BELIEVE IN ME! The fact that my case was dismissed was not as important to me as the manner in which he treated me, and truly DEFENDED MY NAME AND REPUTATION. He fought for me like I was family. That being said, results matter, and Mr. Lancaster got RESULTS. Highly, highly recommend him.

Barry Lancaster went above and beyond to help me win my case against Boulder. They wanted to charge me with a DUI and Barry got it reduced to wreckless driving. He was phenomenal in court. I cannot sing his praises loud enough, without him, I’d probably be in jail. He works for his client and is not afraid of standing up against a bullying court system. If you want justice, he is the guy to hire. I trust him, that says a lot.

I am beyond grateful I went with my gut and hired Barry to defend me. After talking to attorneys throughout the Denver metro, it was clear Barry was the only attorney that was going to do whatever he could to get me the best possible outcome. He approached my case with confidence, assurance and absolute positivity. He has the obvious respect of his colleagues and knows how to handle the entire court process with ease making his clients feel completely covered. He made what at first felt like the worse possible situation, seem utterly manageable. Finally Barry has expert negotiation skills that come from his thorough knowledge and his incredible record in court! Barry Lancaster did everything he promised, he got my DWAI dismissed!!! I am thrilled with the outcome! Thank you so much Barry!

Barry is a rare find for the Boulder/Denver area. After calling several lawyers for my DUI case, Barry immediately stood apart from the rest. He carefully reviewed the details from the night of my traffic stop, and was able to pull out crucial and specific details that could be used in my defense. He is not only an expert at his craft, but he also provided a holistic and human centered approach in our interactions. He fought astutely for the best possible outcome, and was able to get my case dismissed. I am proud to have had Barry on my side in the courtroom, and would recommend him to anyone facing a DUI charge.

I was facing a DUI for a refusal in Boulder County, and a DUID for marijuana in Garfield Country. The arrests happened only two weeks apart. With Mr. Lancanster's hard work and knowledge of the law, I ended up with one case being dismissed, then pleaded guilty to Reckless Driving in the other. The results were much better than expected, thank you Barry!

Barry was my legal counsel for a second DUI case. I was referred to him by a mutual friend. I felt confident with him when we had our initial consultation. He explained to me the outcomes of my case and what he would argue on my behalf after I had disclosed to him my legal situation. Communication with Barry has always been a top priority throughout the process. He keeps you informed after each court proceedings. I am so thankfully I had Barry for my legal representation for this matter and cannot be anymore elated with the outcome after a lengthy legal battle. Please do yourself a service and hire this man as your legal counsel, he has earned my trust as a reputable and dependable lawyer that will work hard in getting the results you want.

I was being charged with a DUI, and refused roadside tests. I began the process of calling lawyers to see who would suit me the best . I called several lawyers and told them what happened the night of my DUI and just was not finding a lawyer who seemed to be willing to listen to me completely. Every lawyer I had spoken to would say we will get the best plea deal that we can .. That was not what I wanted to hear at all. After feeling like I wasn't getting anywhere with legal advice I called Lancaster Law Office and was connected to Barry personally almost instantly . Once again I told him what happened the night of my conviction and his first response was, "this is a case that I would like to get dismissed for you ." With just that response right there I knew he was the clear choice for me, it was comforting to know he wanted to help me and not just make a deal. I am so happy that I went with my gut feeling of choosing Barry to represent me . We went to court and pled not guilty even after they offered me a plea deal . The next step was motions hearing a couple months down the road . Waiting anxiously to see what was going to happen I had received a call from Barry a week later. He had informed me that my case was Dismissed with prejudice, meaning that the court could reinstate the charges if they found evidence that I was drinking the night of my conviction up to 3 years after dismissal . I was ECSTATIC it was dismissed !!!! A few months went by, I received a call from Barry saying they were reinstating the charges against me because they had found new evidence against me. I was at a loss for words and pretty frustrated because it made no sense to me and I was out of state. Feeling like I was back at square one with a new court date set I was frustrated and anxious about what was going to happen. A few weeks after receiving this horrible news I got a phone call from Barry. He asked how I was, and I responded " Im doing good , u ?' Barry said " well you're about to be even better , your case has been DISMISSED FOR GOOD !" I WAS SO HAPPY! Barry went above and beyond all of my expectations of him and got my case dismissed 2 times in less than a year!!! Barry made me feel like I was taken care of the whole time , if you're in a legal bind look no further . Barry is the man for the job and he will do everything he can to have the best possible outcome for your situation. He is the only lawyer I will ever hire again and I highly recommend him to any one in a similar situation ! I cant thank him enough for his work and I am more than 100% satisfied for what he did for me ! Thank you Barry !!!!!!!!!

When I needed council the most, Mr. Lancaster met me with genuine care and compassion, making me feel at ease, almost immediately like a friend. Mr. Lancaster consistently adhered to ethical principles that reflected the highest personal standards and individual behavior. He effectively communicated my options and displayed an unwavering sense of commitment making me feel that I had top priority. Mr. Lancaster demonstrated a high level of legal understanding and was able to navigate and lay out all potential scenarios. Mr. Lancaster displayed confidence and professionalism when addressing the court and its staff; he communicated my case with ease and natural style and his responses where always tactful and appropriate in every situation. The relation ships he built with the members of the court were evident and he navigated my position with great diplomacy achieving desired results. I wish I could have met Mr. Lancaster under better circumstances but am blessed nonetheless for having him represent my case.

When every other lawyer said I would have to take a plea bargain, Mr. Barry Lancaster listened to my story, understood the truth and the lack of parallels between the truth and the police statement, my charges and punishments. Mr. Lancaster said we could get it dismissed. And he did. It was a long journey, and Barry was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. In the end, all the steps were taken to have the DA understand the truth, and drop the charges completely. I am over-the-moon grateful for Barry and his team's hard work, dedication and success with helping me. These charges would have changed my entire life; career, goals and aspirations. With Barry's help, I can now continue my life plans in peace. I would highly recommend Barry's expertise. Thank you very very much.

I was hit with a slew of nightmare charges after crashing my car, including DUI. I was disoriented from the crash and the wicked concussion I sustained during it, but I wasn't intoxicated, so I opted to take a blood test after a police officer finally came. The officer was incompetent, and to my surprise, came up with charge after charge, but none of them were true and I was in shock, literally, and disbelief. Because of the charges, I was put in jail instead of in a hospital and left to suffer overnight with no one in my family knowing where I was and without medical attention for my injuries except for ointment for the gash on my stomach the next morning. When I was finally released, I called multiple DUI lawyers in Boulder, and none were enthused about my case, despite me passionately explaining that I was innocent and needed aggressive representation. I'm a full-time student, planning for graduate school, so I could not afford for these accusations to throw my life off track and have serious consequences that could affect my life and career forever. Barry immediately understood where I was coming from and felt confident with the case, which was a huge relief for me. I knew I could trust him to handle the case and work thoroughly and firmly with the Boulder DAs and judges, who he has ample experience with. Even Barry's website showed that he and his practice stood out from the rest of the lawyers in Boulder. I was concerned about the price of hiring a DUI lawyer, and Barry isn't the lowest cost out of the options, but I knew after talking to him and from various reviews and his website that he was clearly the strongest lawyer to handle my case and would give me the best chance of getting my serious charges dropped, which would ultimately save me the most money, as the charges had steep fees attached if convicted, and it would save my future and peace of mind. All in all, Barry was very fair with his pricing, and he sympathized with my overall situation. It was a no-brainer to choose Barry to represent me. During the months Barry represented me, he met/spoke with me and always explained the legal situation at the time, the different options we had, the option that was best, and his solid strategy to handle it and get me the best outcome. I was always able to ask questions and give my input, and we were always on the same page and ready to make the next move by the end of a conversation. Barry even represented me in court on the occasions that I couldn't be there and the law would allow it, and he reminded me when each court date would come up and met me before we walked into the court room. When it came time to make a plea with the DA and put this case to rest, Barry firmly defended me, explained my situation, and came to an agreement with the DA that had ALL OF MY CHARGES DROPPED; a major success and the justice I deserved, THANKS TO BARRY! I plead guilty to reckless driving, which was the best option that I could have hoped for given the situation, and since Barry explained to the judge that I had suffered and made life changes to avoid anything like this happening again, the judge gave me the minimum fine and consequence. Barry made my life easier, saved my future, has become a good friend, gave me a fair price, and was extremely professional, capable, and thorough with my case. I would not recommend another lawyer to handle anyone's case in Boulder or on the Front Range.
