Mike was beyond amazing to work with. He is an incredible attorney and we got a favorable outcome on my case. From our first phone call he listened to me and was very sympathetic for my situation. I had spoke with several lawyers prior and they were not as kind or compassionate as he is. This was my first time needing a lawyer. Mike helped make the entire process smooth and not intimidating. He is very good at his job and does it with ease. He is also very reasonably priced. I fully recommend Mike if you are in need of an attorney. I hope to not need a criminal defense attorney in the future but if I do, Mike will be the one I call and who I refer people to.

Most expensive lawyer I've ever encountered. We provided a 5k retainer only for Randy to work 1.3 hours on a few phone calls. He charged us $3,258.86 to resolve nothing. On top of that his team gave me the run around for a week just to get a refund of the remaining retainer. If you are financially well off and have money coming out of your pockets, this is your lawyer, but if you're a middle-class person like me, over three grand for an hour's worth of work is insane.

I cannot recommend Joe Morales and the team at Geigle Morales in Denver highly enough. At one of the scariest times in my life, Joe and his firm provided me with exceptional legal representation and unwavering support. Joe spearheaded my situation with precision and care. His dedication, expertise, and ability to navigate complex legal challenges turned a horrible situation into one I could overcome with confidence. If you or your company ever find yourself in need of legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend Geigle Morales. They are a team you can trust when it matters most.

I recently had the privilege of working with Jon Eric at The W Law during my divorce, and I cannot recommend him and his firm highly enough. From the beginning, Jon Eric made me feel protected during what was a very challenging and intimidating time in my life. My divorce was far from straightforward, but Jon Eric kept me informed every step of the way. He took the time to explain my options clearly and was always available when I found myself in moments of crisis. His support and guidance were invaluable, and I could not have navigated this process without him. I highly recommend him and his firm to anyone navigating their way through divorce.

Mr. Cross you did a fantastic job you were very clear on the entire process and what needed to get where we wanted the deal to get to. A great negotiator and honestly a stand up gentleman with knowledge that's impressive with case law and the process of court proceedings. Mr. Cross was very patient however very informative on how to navigate this case. He keeps in contact on a regular basis and will even give some encouragement on your well being, sobriety and goals you may have set. In court he shows no signs of nervousness and pays attention to detail. If I could recommend any lawyer I have personally dealt with in my past I would recommend Mr. Cross before even some of the ridiculously priced lawyers. Mr. Cross can get the same results as a high priced lawyer for half the cost. When it comes to your life and freedom, picking and attorney can be stressful. Mr. Cross will help you and he will be 100% honest on what needs to be done to reach an outcome you are comfortable with. Thank you Mr. Cross it has been a pleasure working with you and I am very proud of the effort you put into my case. Means a lot J

Extremely professional and effective law firm. Christina was constantly talking to me about the case and any updates that she had. She was able to reduce my case from an original deal of 3 months incarcerated to 45 days of house arrest due to the research she did on me and her ability to show the court the ways in which I have vastly changed since the beginning of my case. Would recommend to anyone that is going through something similar.

Utilizing his knowledge, we were better able to collateralize negotiating terms for venture capital funds in the form of lower rates (making us more money). Although our meeting was brief, I found him to be honest and will be incorporating his counsel into our next round of contractual negotiations.

Having no experience in this field at all, I was pretty terrified when I was shown to be at fault for a car accident. The entire team was excellent gave me a lot of information helped me to remain calm, and on the day of Katy in particular went way above and beyond the call of duty to help facilitate me reaching the courthouse on time. I was very impressed on every level with this operation. Oh, and they significantly reduced the amount of trouble I was going to get into! Well worth the retainer.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from Erika and their entire team during an extremely stressful time following a bad car accident. From the very beginning, they were by my side, guiding me through every step of the legal process with patience and compassion. It wasn’t just about legal advice – they genuinely cared about my well-being and provided constant reassurance during a time when I needed it the most. Erika was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also kind, understanding, and incredibly dedicated to my case. The bond we created felt personal, and I knew I could rely on them no matter what came up. They fought hard for me, and I always felt they had my best interests at heart. Their entire team was absolutely amazing – responsive, empathetic, and supportive throughout the entire process. I am so, so grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you are ever in need of a lawyer who truly cares, I highly recommend Erika and their team.

I was not sure what to expect. I didn’t know if their purposed consultation time would enough time. All my notes were taken by an assistant and given to the legal councilor before our conversation so the lawyer was already up to speed when we talked for the first time. I really think their system is refined by their experience and it shows that it’s designed to best help those seeking advice. Sidney was so kind. Very great at explaining and educating me of my rights and what I can expect in various outcomes. So I may plan my next move with thought and strategy. I would definitely seek advice from Sidney again. She is very easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable of the laws and wonderful resources to offer for more information or questions. Thanks Sidney!

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.

Does Olson Law use a call center to answer their phones? I had someone named Jalen, an extremely young male, answer that didn't tell me where he was answering the phone at and didn't answer even one question i asked, he just kept kinda using a script. He said he was a receptionist for Olson Law, but did not sound like someone id let answer a phone. I needed to know if i had already called this particular firm and if so what they're reason for not filing a complaint or getting one started was. I have a TBI im almost done with but finding a lawyer to get started on that while still receiving care as a legal newbie is hard work because im not getting hepful people (across the board) im getting push back instead. Like someone should be like omg lets get started, ill start the review, you continue care, and ill ask questions along the way before i start a complaint. But im not getting that. im getting a lot of pointless conversation. If im in the wrong location, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Is it the city, the neighborhood, is the case too hard, are they too busy, is there a conflict of interest with the hospital im suing or something? Like scared to sue? I dont get it... Its JUST a lawsuit that needs to get filed. Is it the Denver area? Are they like no, she doesnt live in this neighborhood so im not dealing with this? Like family oriented? Im so confused right now.

Jason Alleman is by far the most impressive, knowledgeable, and wonderful human being I have ever known. I've met a LOT of lawyers over the years through my work, and they all met at least some or all parts of the stereotype -- boring, arrogant, even soulless. Jason stands far far FAR apart from the pack. He is happy, caring, concerned, and dedicated. He does what he does because he genuinely wants to help people, and he is SO GOOD at it. I've been so impressed by the wealth of knowledge he has and his skill in the field. I cannot recommend him enough; he is the only person I would ever go to!

I cant say thank you enough. Ehren was a savior when my sons was acused of starting a fight on a Platte Canyon School bus. I know that doesn't mean much but when he is getting ready to turn 18 it's a huge deal. Ehren looked at the evidence where a public defender would rather just get it over and not care that this could hurt this young man's future. Let me tell you a little more about this for context. My sons have been bullied at Platte Canyon for years that's how this school operates they have been attacked physically and mentally. The school has time and again turned a blind eye saying no evidence even though their are videos. This young man my son was arguing with was part of the same gang as they call themselves was telling my older son how his brother should be killed over and over. We'll my older son had enough of the crap and yes he stood up and went to speak to the other teen and girl who has verbally harrassed them daily to and from school. When my son went to speak with the other teen the agreeser stood up and was chest bumping my son. At this point the younger son who was the son who was the target of the verbal attack seeing his brother getting chest bumped tried to pull the aggressor off and then a fight between the younger son occurred even though the aggressor started it and threw punches first my sons were both charged. Ehren looked at the video and actually challenged what was being stated. So as of today one sons case has been dropped the other that the public defender is assigned has hardly even communicated with us so if you want a lawyer who actually cares Ehren is your man.

I would give Ehren 6 out of 5 stars if I could. He knows his stuff, is professional, and is very familiar with the court system in Park Co and surrounding areas. He was reassuring to work with, walked through what I could do in advance to mitigate my violation, and what to expect in court. He then represented me in person while I was able to remote in. His cost was reasonable, especially when compared to flying back out to Colorado, renting a car and booking hotels, etc. Everyone makes mistakes on the road at some point, and Ehren was a solid advocate - he has my respect for how he represented my case. Thanks Ehren!

J.B. Katz is such an amazing lawyer and person. She gave me a lot of excellent and intelligent law advice that came from a place of genuinely caring about my situation; rather than other lawyers who just want to get hired. She also shared with me some fantastic life advice/anecdotes and conversation about what I was going through. She cared about me as a person first. She wanted to help in any way she could! As far as I'm concerned, an incredibly good person who's in this for the right reasons. Super smart, knows more than most, very attentive, very sweet. Thank you J.B.!

Special thanks to Phil and Andrea for their guidance in the navigation of an estate process. It was very comforting to have such expertise guiding me and my family on our journey.

I am so thankful for the help that was provided to me and my son with a very troubling experience that we had recently. James was professional, kind, supportive, reassuring, and most of all extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend anybody who needs help to reach out to him. I feel blessed that I found him and he was able to help guide us through an extremely stressful situation.

While I understand others may have had positive experiences with Robinson & Henry, my own was deeply disappointing. I initially chose them based on positive reviews and an impressive attorney. I specifically addressed concerns about being passed between attorneys and becoming just a number after paying the retainer. The attorney assured me of consistent communication within two days and that she would remain my sole point of contact. My case was straightforward: securing court-ordered visitation with my son. Initially, communication was excellent, with prompt email responses. However, after paying the retainer, responsiveness drastically declined. When my son's mother cut off direct communication, requiring all contact through attorneys, I struggled to reach mine. After a week of silence, a paralegal dismissively stated she was "very busy." I also discovered the attorney had filed incorrect paperwork, effectively delaying my case. Adding to the frustration, the accounting department demanded I replenish my retainer without acknowledging my communication issues or case progress. Shortly after, I was informed, without prior notice or explanation, that a new attorney would be handling my case. I received no refund for the incorrect paperwork filed. The entire experience was a nightmare. I ultimately sought and found competent representation elsewhere. The only positive aspect was the Customer Relations Manager, who contacted me at the end. She was professional and helpful, earning a five-star rating. However, this single positive interaction couldn't salvage the overall negative experience with the firm.

I owe Dan Gerash and Shelbi Danner a debt of gratitude. They represented me in a jury trial in Jefferson County where I was wrongfully accused by an Arvada Police Officer that resulted in a Not Guilty verdict on all charges. Their thorough professionalism and attention to detail was incredible. They advised me throughout the entire process and were always honest and up front with me about my case. They were always prompt in responding to questions or giving me information about my case. I can't say enough at how well they presented my case when I finally got my day in court. There is no one else I would go to for legal representation in Colorado. Thank you Dan and Shelbi!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from Erika and their entire team during an extremely stressful time following a bad car accident. From the very beginning, they were by my side, guiding me through every step of the legal process with patience and compassion. It wasn’t just about legal advice – they genuinely cared about my well-being and provided constant reassurance during a time when I needed it the most. Erika was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also kind, understanding, and incredibly dedicated to my case. The bond we created felt personal, and I knew I could rely on them no matter what came up. They fought hard for me, and I always felt they had my best interests at heart. Their entire team was absolutely amazing – responsive, empathetic, and supportive throughout the entire process. I am so, so grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you are ever in need of a lawyer who truly cares, I highly recommend Erika and their team.

Working with Mr. Katz as my husband's lawyer during a challenging and emotionally charged family matter case was an experience I won’t forget. His reputation in the Denver and Boulder courts speaks volumes—before he even entered the room, we could feel the respect and attention he commanded from the court officials. This immediately gave us a sense of confidence and trust in the process. What truly stood out, though, was his exceptional accessibility. Mr. Katz always answered his own phone and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns, typically getting back to us the same day. His professionalism and dedication to his clients were evident throughout the entire case. Mr. Katz's combination of expertise, his reputation, and his commitment to our case made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer who not only knows the law but also has the respect of the legal community. Thank you, Mr. Katz, for your hard work and guidance during such a difficult time!

Michael was absolutely professional and accommodating throughout the entire process of my custody battle and court hearings. He explained everything clearly and walked me through every document and scenario that came my way. He gave me thorough input to help ME make decisions that were best suited for myself and my family. He is very knowledgeable and often made suggestions to allow me to do some of the research and other things myself to save money. THIS was such an incredible concession that many attorneys will not offer. He was very agreeable with my budget and suggesting financial avenues to keep my case going because I had to see this through to the end. He was amenable to creating a financial plan with me so that I could finish my case. He was clear every step of the way in regards to costs including court fees, his hourly rate, the amount of time each thing would take, etc. He made sure every I was dotted and T was crossed, and every loophole was sealed. In addition to his professional expertise, he was very compassionate about my situation and everything I was going through legally and remained professional but sympathetic throughout the entirety of the process. I would absolutely recommend him on a custody case and will definitely suggest that anything you have concerns about you make clear to him at the beginning and throughout the whole process, so he can benefit you in the best way possible and you feel you are being heard.

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.
