Hiring an attorney for my husband's criminal case is one of the most important decisions I've made in my lifetime. Looking back on the past year and a half, I can undoubtedly say that hiring CLDG and Tanner Spracklen was the best decision I could have made, for so many reasons. -Verdict: First and foremost, after an arduous experience and 2-day jury trial, my husband was found NOT GUILTY on all charges. This was the correct verdict, as my husband was falsely accused (case of mistaken identity) and then steamrolled by the police and prosecution. Tanner showed all of this clearly and succinctly to the jury, who then turned over a not guilty verdict in less than 1.5 hours. Our lives and our future depended on this verdict, and Tanner delivered it beautifully. -Strategy: Tanner had the right strategy from motions hearings to trial. He knows the law, and knows how to use it to your case's advantage. He knows how to litigate motions correctly, researching and citing historical case law as proof of his arguments. The judge was actually impressed many times with his preparation and passion (while chiding the prosecution as 'unprofessional' - it was great!) -'Bedside Manner': Tanner is a very busy man, but was accessable to our many questions and made sure to meet with us in person on many occasions - before and after court and in between, as needed. We always felt in-the-know, and prepared. As the wife, I always felt looped in and like I was part of the strategy. Of course, I was all over the evidence of the case, and Tanner was even happy to take my suggestions and field my questions. My husband and I both had his cell phone number and he always got back to us. At trial, Tanner included our friends and family in the discussions - and we got so many comments from all of them about how amazingly sharp our lawyers were. -Value: We paid a flat rate for pre-trial work, and then another flat rate when it was decided we went to trial. This was convenient and we never paid another fee for any extras. CLDG has an awesome investigator we were able to use at no extra cost, who even uncovered police misconduct in our case that we were able to use at trial. We were also given an additional lawyer at trial, Mark Savoy - who was OUTSTANDING as well. (Seriously appreciate you, Mark!) - Passion: There is no question that Tanner Spracklen is wildly passionate about defense law, and about acheiving the best outcome for his clients, factually guilty or innocent. In our case, due to the severe misconduct of the police and prosecution, he was INVESTED. It was clear Tanner is one to put in long nights and weekends when it's game time. As the wife who was also INVESTED in every minute detail of the case, by the end I truly felt that I could just leave it in Tanner's hands. And I could - he had it taken care of. Going through this scenario is not one I would ever want to do again. However, if I did, I would put my fate in Tanner and CLDG's hands again in a heartbeat. I know they would deliver the same outcome - NOT GUILTY!

Alan Davis did a fantastic job handling my case. He was easy to contact for updates and it was quickly dismissed. I'd certainly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

Did well handling my case and getting me the best plea offer I could get not to mention lessening my charges

Mark took his time to walk me through what I could expect regarding my case and offered me advice and peace of mind. If I should need legal council in the future, I'm calling Colorado Legal Defense Group. Thank you.

Chloe Gleichman and Devin Hyver are two of the most hard working attorneys I have met in the Denver area, and veterans Alan Davis and Tanner Spracklen have many years of experience in counties outside the metro area that makes their perspectives invaluable to this organization. To add to that, paralegal and admin Diana Barrera is an irreplaceable member of the team that aids behind the scenes in so many ways unknown to the outside world. In short, this is a team that works hard and in sync with each other to produce the best results for their clients

Terrible ethics They got my charges dropped in a case that they knew they would win after the first few months. They made the case take 2.5 years by coming up with every excuse in the book so they could charge me 40k for a case that should've been done in 3 months. Thanks for helping get the charges dropped but why make it take so long. If you are guilty of a crime,sure, hire this group. If you are not guilty, I highly suggest going to a better more ethical attorney.

Cole was extremely helpful in assessing my case, and was honest about what I really needed - as it turns out, I didn't need a lawyer for my case. Integrity above all else is what this world needs more of. Thank you.

I had an amazing experience with Colorado Legal Defense Group and my attorney Chloe Gleichman was phenomenal as well. She kept in me in the loop about my case the entire time and was even able to get my case dismissed early. I would recommend anyone I know in legal trouble to contact Colorado Legal Defense Group.

Colorado Legal Defense Group is simply brilliant, Shannon really helped me and assured me that they will try their utmost for the best possible outcome in my case, and they indeed delivered.

My experience with CLDG has been great! Devin Hyver has been such a pleasure to work with and I felt well-represented in a situation where sometimes the CJ system can be opaque and frustrating. Communication was good and I couldn't be happier with the resolution. I would trust any of the folks at CLDG with my defense in the future if it were ever needed, and again, specifically, Devin has been a lifesaver. Thanks guys!

Meeting with Colorado Defense Group and Mark Savoy was the first time someone understood the complexities of my case. their legal approach and tenacious attitude was confidence boosting. Their experience and specialized expertise make them an easy choice.
