Charlie did a great job trying to defend my case. Although the DUI did not get dropped, he did get my careless driving dropped. DA was not budging on jail time. Danny stepped in at my last courtdate, and was able to get me IHD. On that, I was thankful. I feel I did get my $'s worth from this team. They really do try to get the best deal possible. I would say I would use them again. However I will not need their services in the future. As I will NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. Colorado has become tougher through the years for DUI. The cost alone with everything involved is not worth admitting to having a few drinks and refusing Breathalyzer or Blood tests! If you are ever in this situation, call these guys. They are not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. It is worth having this team of lawyers by your side through this process.

Mr. Charlie Fife went above and beyond to protect me from the terrible decisions that I had made. He is a very knowledgeable, and respected attorney who looks at all angles to best represent his client. His communications are quick, thorough and respectful. I don't expect to have a need for this type of representation again, but for anyone who does, I highly recommend Mr. Fife.

My partner and I have availed the services of Ambler Keenan Mitchell Johnson for our Trust and estate plans for many years now. We recently had a Trust review to update our documents and found their services, as in the past, to be exceptional. Although a small glitch was discovered during the review of our documents the staff worked diligently to correct the situation and provided a seamless execution of our estate plans. Having utilized this firm for not only our Trusts but those of our parents we can confidently recommend their excellent services.

After the passing of my grandmother, we turned to The Hickey Law Firm to help us through the estate settlement process, and I am so grateful for their help and expertise. During this emotional and overwhelming time, their team has been compassionate, patient, and incredibly supportive. They have guided our family through each step with and ensured that we understood every detail involved. The staff has always been available to answer questions, and I felt like they truly cared about making the process as smooth as possible for our family. Their expertise and professionalism has given us peace of mind and I couldn’t recommend Hickey Law Firm more highly for anyone dealing with the estate of a loved one or for their own estate planning needs.

My case in the hands of a bad lawyer would have been a disaster. I found Michael on Avvo after reading all the great reviews. I knew my immigration case was complicated after one lawyer told me she could not in all honesty take it on, because she would be putting me in danger of deportation. The second lawyer just didn't seem capable at all. When i brought my case to Micheal, he carefully looked at everything i had, did amazing research and was able to reassure me that i might have a good chance to adjust my status. Without going in all the details, he did perform a "miracle" because i am sitting here with my green card! My husband and i are internally grateful to this amazing attorney. Keep doing great work Michael you are affecting people's lives more than you will ever know.

I have been nothing but pleased with Joe and his entire staff. My first call into this office, Joe took my call directly and I could immediatly tell he was an attorney sincerely vested in his clients and thier cases. He has a level of humanity and integrity that is frankly hard to find in the field. He agreed to take on, what I was repeatedly told by nearly everyone, was an "unwinnable" case agianst The Department of Human Sevices over a TRAILS finding. Joe and his staff were so incredibly responsive, efficient and thorough in their assistance and handling of my case. Having them on my side to handle all the legalize, I knew that I was in the best of legal hands possible in a part of the law way over most people's heads. For the first time in years, I could focus just on LIVING. Our TRAILS appeal, that won an Administrative Law Judges ruling in our favor back in 2018, was overturned CDHS themeslves (because they can do that!) and went all the way to th Colorado Court of Appeals where it was unaimously reversed again by all three judges, back to the ALJ initial decision. Our case was also a precident setting, published opinion! I could not have done it without Joe's hard working team! Thank you Joe!!

Words cannot describe the care, patience, understanding and quality of work performed by Joe and his team. He was able to deal with a very difficult family dynamic and he kept his sense of humor and never lost patience. He really knows how to handle people and made what was a very emotionally difficult situation just a little better by his thoughtful and caring manner. I really don't think another firm would have stuck with us and brought our matter to resolution. He is a skilled attorney and I count myself fortunate to have had him on my side.

Evan handled my case. He is a local attorney who skis and worked my case digitally. In particular I was impressed with his tech ability, directness, and ability to stick to his stated timelines throughout our case. Very satisfied in result, to which he gave comps for recent cases. He also showed his kindness and ability to show his appreciation with thank yous to an attorney friend that referred me, and by sending personal cards and talking about skiing after our case was done. I hope to keep him as a resource for any encounters in the future, on the slopes or elsewhere.

My experience with Allen Vellone Wolf Helfrich & Factor has been beyond great. They dug into the issues of my case and discovered things in my favor that go far beyond what other defendants in the same case appear to have missed or not seriously considered. My opinions of Jim Helfrich and Kate Sender go beyond my ability to express. The best I can say is that I trust them to do their absolute best, which I believe they have done. No bullshit. They haven’t always told me what I want to hear, but they have always considered my opinion and that has been reflected in the things they have produced on my behalf. My case is not over, but they believe in me and have taken my side with the best they have to offer. Their rates are fair, and I have never had the feeling they were fabricating hours as so many law firms do, especially the law firm that is attacking me. I suspect I will have more to add to this review in the future.

I was originally referred to Maureen O'Brien at O'Brien, Thomas and Bibek, LLC law firm by my personal attorney. Maureen was unable to take my case due to illness but she recommended David and he accepted my case. David provided invaluable professional and discreet assistance in the court room while handling my case. He spoke to the judge and the district attorney on my behalf on several occasions while we were both in the court room. He negotiated a reduction in charges with the district attorney that changed my potential conviction of a felony to a misdemeanor. David also led me through the required paperwork and after I fulfilled my court ordered probation requirements, achieve early termination of my probation. I again, highly recommend David Thomas as a criminal defense attorney.

Dave Thomas is an exceptional attorney! we highly recommend him, for anyone seeking an ethical, caring attorney, who will work to get the best resolution for your case. From our first meeting with Dave to discuss our son’s case, it was clear that he is a passionate advocate for his clients. In our time working with him, we never felt rushed or unheard. Dave always took the time needed to address our questions and concerns and to explain the often-confusing legal process. He was very upfront with us from the start, giving possible outcomes of the case and what we should expect. We appreciated his honesty in telling us what we needed to know and not what we wanted to hear. Well respected both in the community and within the legal system, Dave also has extensive courtroom experience. He has worked as both a district attorney and defense lawyer, allowing him to easily navigate the legal system. Dave is a consummate professional on every level. Putting our trust and faith in Dave, was the best decision we could have made.

Getting a divorce is hard...being divorced can be pretty great though (if you have a good lawyer!) That's where Emily at Ellison Law came in for me. I had an extremely contentious and drawn out divorce due to my ex not wanting to cooperate and be civil. In times where it felt like my entire life way in full chaos, Emily's sound advice, level minded strategies, and keen awareness of the divorce process was my only saving grace. While divorce is ultimately painful, sad, expensive, and life-changing for everyone involved, having a good lawyer to help you through it and to help plan for what your life looks like after divorce is so critical, especially if you are divorcing someone who wants to make the process as difficult as possible. Emily had my back at every turn, she fought hard for me in court, and was so thoroughly prepared that it truly saved my life, the life I have now, the stability my kids have now. I had to put so much trust into Emily's guidance and knowledge of the system, and I'm so glad I did. She was thoughtful and kind, took the time to answer questions fully, explain processes to me, and think ahead for me (especially when all I could do was sometimes barely see through the day I was in). I truly don't know how I would be on this side of a very ugly divorce without her. If you are finding yourself going through separation or divorce, I can not recommend Ellison Law enough! Thank you Emily!

I've had so many lawyers represent me on a case that has been ongoing since 2013. The list included some of Colorado's best and most expensive lawyers. While some performed well, Hillary's level of dedication is unmatched. Hillary has shown exceptional levels of diligence on my case. Having worked with so many lawyers prior to meeting Hillary, I've learned to appreciate her excellence. She genuinely cares about her clients. In our most recent appearance her extensive research and preparation was obvious to experts, witnesses, myself and most likely the judge and the DA as well. With faith and a lawyer like Hillary victory is close. I am grateful and glad that I hired her. She will be your eyes and ears and will put a lot of her heart and soul into your case as she truly wants to see her clients succeed.

This was the first time I ever had need of an attorney. I was referred to “Hillary” by a friend of mine who knew her from law school. Atty. Aizenman was quick to return my call and after a brief chat we set up an in person meeting. I knew immediately that I was in good hands. I hired Hillary on the spot. She put me at ease with the confident manner in which she presented the ins and outs of court and did her best to calm my anxiety.

He also showed his kindness and ability to show his appreciation with thank yous to an attorney friend that referred me, and by sending personal cards and talking about skiing after our case was done.

Kip has proven to be an invaluable legal resource for me on more than one occasion. Kip worked with me during an incredibly trying time to produce the best possible outcome I could imagine. He did not mince words or over-promise. He did everything he said he would do and did it well while maintaining transparency and frequent contact throughout the process. Kip also took time out of his day on a separate occasion to talk me through a somewhat complicated legal scenario involving an acquaintance without the formality of having to set up a meeting or the anxiety of having to wait for a response. He answered his own phone immediately and walked through the entire situation with me right away. Kip is a passionate guy who clearly cares about his work and his clients. He's friendly and easy to talk to as well. You would be doing yourself a significant service by giving him a call if you find yourself in need of legal advice. THANKS KIP!!

Originally I started with a lawyer where when we showed up to the first court appearance the Judge shut us out didn’t let that attorney speak, and didn’t want to hear anything she had to say! I’m so glad she chose to transfer the case to Jessica Lasky. This amazing attorney came in like super woman throwing blows to the entire court system. Fortunately she is well experienced with the DA and knows a lot of things that normal attorneys aren’t familiar with. Everything started in early August and by Late November I had my life and freedom back forever. Thank you so much to this amazing staff who taught me the reason why it is beneficial to have a outstanding Law Firm on your side. Honestly there’s not enough words in this universe to explain the amount of gratitude I have for these wonderful people. The service and communication with everyone is on point definitely recommending them to anyone in need of a Great Law Firm. I wish you all well, and again Thank you so much!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
