Mr Ruterbories is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of being represented by. Not many attorneys are honest, ethical, or care about your or your case, they are only interested in the amount of money they can make off your case. Mr Rueterbories is what attorneys should aspire to be. If he takes your case, you can be assured that he cares. He will do his best for you, and his is above all, honest and trust worthy. He has gone above and beyond on my case, more so than any other attorney I have ever hired, or disputed. You wont be disappointed with Mr Ruterbories. When it comes to legal matters, the right attorney can make the world of difference between a positive outcome or total disaster. I only wish I had met him 10 years ago.

It’s such a pleasant experience when working with Kristen Burke on establishing the escrow instructions and then the amendment projects for an unusual international trading business situation due to the challenging economic downturn. What made Kristen so special to me is that she put herself in the client’s position and understood the client's concerns and needs in addition to her well trained knowledge and professionalism. Kristen’s effort of accommodating the urgent timing required for both projects was greatly appreciated.
I would also like to express my appreciation to Julian Izbiky who replied to my phone call and email, and provided initial consultation.
Overall, it’s a great law firm for those who might need legal advice and assistance.

My experience was undeniably seamless!! They communicated every step of the way, even after the last day. They made sure nothing was left behind and I had no worries or pain after my accident. They help me understand things about insurance that I had no clue about and things that the big insurance company don’t and want tell you because they don’t want you to know as to what ALL you are entitled too. So hands down this is the best law firm in the state!!! I would literally trust this firm with anything!! Everyone is so nice and professional from the front desk back to the main ones you don’t even see! Don’t think twice, get them in your life!!!!!

Needing a lawyer is something no one ever hopes for, but when the situation arises, having someone like Brian Teed by your side makes all the difference. I recently required legal representation for my daughter, and I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated, compassionate, and skilled advocate. From the very beginning, it was clear that Brian had my daughter’s best interests at heart. He genuinely cared about her well-being and the outcome of the proceedings.
Brian’s extensive knowledge of the law and legal process gave me invaluable peace of mind. He always took the time to explain every step in clear, straightforward terms, ensuring we understood what to expect and felt prepared at every turn. His communication and attention to detail were exceptional, making an otherwise overwhelming situation much more manageable.
I also need to acknowledge Allison Jankowski, who was instrumental throughout this process. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that we never missed any filings or deadlines, which was critical to our success. Allison’s support and efficiency behind the scenes played a key role in helping us cross the finish line. We couldn’t have achieved the outcome we did without her assistance and dedication.
Thanks to Brian’s and Allison’s unwavering support, we achieved a successful outcome in our case. My family and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such an outstanding team in our corner during this challenging time. While I hope I never need a lawyer again, if I do, I know exactly who I’ll call.

James McQuade at Burnham Law was great to work with on my estate planning documents. He answered my numerous questions and helped me restate a Trust that had a number of changes. Samantha Durham, paralegal, was also prompt to respond to emails and pleasant to work with. Both James and Samantha were easy to talk to and put me at ease while working on updating my Trust documents. I highly recommend James McQuade for his legal expertise and Burnham Law firm for any estate planning.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michael and the representation he provided throughout a personal injury case that went all the way up to the Colorado Supreme Court. I felt confident in Michael from the moment I met him. He is honest, straightforward, hard working and highly professional. My case was emotionally difficult at times and I felt like Michael was just as invested as I was in seeing a just and fair outcome. I needed a lawyer who was resolute and unwavering and because of his relentlessness the result was more than I could have hoped for.
Michael is an exceptional lawyer and I would highly recommend him because he fights hard and delivers results!

Bill is an excellent attorney who helped me through a high-conflict divorce with his strategic and calm approach. He is very patient and thinks before he reacts. He never leaves you guessing and openly shares information he receives from the other attorney's involved. One thing that I really liked about Bill is that throughout my entire case I always understood what the worst case scenario could be. He never once mislead me to believe we would win the case or any given dispute would be in my favor. I valued his transparency. He knows what he is doing when it comes to family law. I would certainly recommend him to any of my friends or family that are going through a difficult divorce.

Bill was a great help and resource after my divorce as my ex-wife wanted to fight me on everything for our son. He takes his time to make sure he has every resource available for him to review and makes sure he helps make the right choice in your case.
This case was a long one and Bill kept me update on any communications that came from the other attorney. We always worked through what I was requesting and making sure every detail was covered before it was filed with the court. My ex-wife used two attorney's to help fight against what I was wanting for our son. Bill is very reasonable when he has open communication with other attorneys.
In the end... Bill being very calm and patient helped grant what I was trying to get for my son
I would recommend Bill any time and would use him again in the future if I ever need it. At least sit down with him so he understands what your direction is.

We worked with Justin Pierce of Ross Law, P.C. on a simple trust for our estate. While the estate is not extremely large, it just seemed to be the best way to handle our situation which involved numerous heirs. We found Justin to be extremely meticulous and thorough in all the advice and assistance he gave us We are “seniors” and we found parts of setting up the trust to be somewhat complicated. Whenever we had a meeting he would send us an email detailing all the items we discussed and listing the issues we needed to handle . We found this to be extremely helpful. He encouraged us to call him with any questions we had and if he was not available he got back to us in a timely manner. I would strongly recommend Justin Pierce for any legal issues you need assistance with

It is such a shame to see a brand new mom being charged with a felony. She sleeps with her child on the first night home and instead of showing empathy, you charge her? Do you not think she is punishing herself every second for this accident? What is happening to this world? Anyone involved in this should really take a hard look at themselves. Shameful.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
