Pueblo PD arrested me and hit me with a litany of firearms and burglary charges that I absolutely did not commit. All the charges added up to over 20 years in prison if convicted. I bonded out and called Rodemer and Kane immediately. With their help, 6 months later they dropped the charges and plead down to a criminal trespass. 6 months probation and a little community service. Hopefully I never need an attorney again, but if I did, I will be hiring them again

I had the pleasure of working with Mason Simpson. We are a local contractor and had issues with a customer paying. Mr Simpson handled the mediation to perfection. He knows his way around the legal arena and called everything just as it would happen. Legal matters are no joke but having a solid attorney is a must for your anxiety level.

Michael Young was AMAZING! He helped advocate for me and saved my license when my rights weren't properly conveyed to me. Would HIGHLY recommend Austin, Michael and James to represent you. If they ever need to buy or sell any real estate in Colorado, I would hook these guys up BIG TIME for how much they helped me out!

So recently, I had an unfortunate situation arise where I needed a lawyer regarding a family dispute involving young children. Unfortunately we couldn’t come to a resolution and I was forced to find a lawyer to represent me. The team at Kohn law, specifically Erica Bertini and Debbie are beyond amazing and represented me with stellar results! On the initial consultation, I knew they were who I wanted representing me! I was treated with the utmost respect and spoken with, not at or down to. When things were getting tight on time, they worked with me and helped me get through everything being stern but still considerate and respectful treating me as a person not just another client. We won the initial part of our battle with ease because I retained an amazing law firm with stellar lawyers who have amazing knowledge, expertise and experience! The paralegal, Debbie, was always professional, staying on the phone with me sometimes late to make sure she had all the information, documentation and details that they needed to proceed with my case. She was instrumental in making sure we had all our ducks in a row and worked with me every step of the way. Erica, my lawyer, worked feverishly ensuring a win for us. She made sure that I knew what was expected from me, always asking if I had any questions or concerns about anything. When I was frazzled and unsure what to do she helped calm me down and always reassured me. She was definitely a rock in my corner that always had an open ear and kind words of support. I’m not sure what they offer for legal counsel, advice or defense other than what they helped me with but I’m telling you right now that you’d be doing yourself a serious disservice by not contacting them and getting a consultation. They are knowledgeable, friendly and honest. You would not regret having the Kohn law firm in your corner representing you. Tell them I highly recommended them and good luck with your case. I couldn’t be happier knowing they represent me! prayed that God would help me through all of this and my prayers were definitely answered and I believe that part of those prayers being answered was finding the Kohn law firm! Give them a call, you’ll be glad you did!

My son had an issue where he needed a lawyer. he was fortunate enough to find the Kohn law firm. Erica, his lawyer, is absolutely amazing! She is very knowledgeable and worked very hard to help my son with his case. Debbie, his paralegal, was great! She would sit on the phone with my son sometimes late into the evening making sure he had everything needed and understood everything being asked! I really hope I never need a lawyer but if I do, I'll be calling the Kohn law firm. We are so thankful for them. If you ever need an amazing lawyer that will care about you and work hard to resolve your issues, call them, you'll be happy you did.

I cant stress enough the phenomenal work Mr. Lance Wood put into helping me with my case. I was accused of Domestic violence and strangulation. Mr wood thoroughly examined the half hearted attempt at an investigation on the military’s side, and one sided review of an allegation with no support. Mr. Wood was always available when i would call or text even with the dilemma of being hours apart in different time zones. As nerve racking as my administration separation board was, Mr. Woods confidence and knowledge of regulation shut down multiple attempts at a flawed attempt to bring detriment to my character. Mr. Woods hard work and commitment resulted in a unanimous decision among the board members for retention in the Army, and unfounded accusations. The efforts and work Mr. Wood put in to achieve this outcome has drastically affected my life, I can move on with my career and continue to lead soldiers and be in my career field Im passionate about. I will be forever grateful that he removed a heavy weight from my shoulders, this career means everything to me and Mr. Wood could see that. And i could clearly see that Mr. Wood was passionate about his career field and proving and ensuring the justice system was not just a check the block system. I would recommend this counsel under any circumstances.

I am writing this the day after being acquitted. I feel that I owe a thorough review to give the you the most transparent information. 1. Stages when charges were preferred: I spoke with many attorneys, but Lance stood out from the rest. He was easy to talk to, easy to get a hold of, I could text him directly and he would promptly respond, he was willing to offer useful insight without charging a dime. I did not immediately hire Lance because the preliminary hearing had went in my favor. 2. Preliminary hearing is NOT binding: because of the prelim going well I did not seek counsel and stayed with TDS. What I was not aware of was that the convening authority ignored the preliminary hearing officer’s determination and proceeded with a general court martial. 3. TDS: trial defense counsel absolutely care about you, however their abilities to create a strong case for you is extremely limited. They are often less experienced than the prosecution and can be intimated by the judge. They often have to request permission from the government to produce witnesses, experts, etc. which they almost always will deny unless it benefits their case against you. 4. Pre-motions hearing: because the government will deny everything, your TDS will likely have to compel the judge to make the government agree to your requests. This is where I got to watch my TDS awkwardly stumble through cross examination and convince the judge of literally nothing. I felt sorry for them and it was my case. 5. After the hearing it became extremely evident I was going to lose my trial and potentially face 3 years confinement, bad conduct discharge and affect my abilities to be a father. My TDS was sympathetic, but already felt defeated. 6. Why does any of this matter and how does this relate to Lance? After leaving the TDS office, I called military trial defenders and Lance got a hold of me later that day. He filed a motion of entry and from the moment he began representing me there was a significant shift from the government. Suddenly they became cooperative, were willing to talk to Lance and agree on stipulations. No more games, no more dodging TDS calls. 7. At this stage I got to watch Lance slowly and methodically lock the government into a very tight arena. 8. Trial: we went with a panel (jury) over judge alone. Lance is extremely good at attention to detail during jury selection. This is often an underrated process that is crucial when deliberation comes. After jury selection opening statements, witnesses, exhibits and instructions for the panel. what I noticed was the the panel was very reciprocal of Lance, they were very engaged when he spoke and would often nod and passively agree with his arguments. The judge was also very positive to Lance. The judge agreed to all of Lance’s arguments of stipulation and instructions over the governments because he was better able to articulate it. Lastly, even the prosecutors would often try to get lance’s attention and try to joke with him. Lance was respectful and stayed focused. “We’re just going to object to everything, this is what we do” the prosecutor laughed. He knew he was losing. Bad. 9. Lance is willing to call you the stand if it makes sense. He will prepare you and produce a very limited scope to which the government can cross examine. You still have to be mindful, but Lance will absolutely set you up for success on the stand. The panel is EXTREMELY engaged When the accused takes the stand. 9. Closing arguments. This was the only time the prosecution put on a strong show. But even then, Lance is phenomenal at closing arguments. There are many other reviews to support this. I cannot stress enough how crucial a strong closing argument is. It is the last thing the panel gets before deliberation. It is the freshest content on their mind and is the final tip to your case. 10. Deliberation. From the very beginning to the end. Lance was always at a 100%. The panel made a determination within 10 minutes and the verdict was not guilty. Thank you Lance. I owe my freedom to you.

Lance was very compassionate, thorough, and competent in my representation. He achieved the outcome he wanted and I am grateful. He advised me differently than other attorneys based on my circumstances and his years of experience, and because of this, all charges were dropped and dismissed. I highly recommend Lance and his team and if given an opportunity to do different, I would definitely retain him again.

What a Drug Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A drug crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of offenses involving controlled substances. These offenses can range from simple possession to more serious charges like distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, or possession with intent to distribute. Drug crimes can involve illegal substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, as well as the unauthorized use or distribution of prescription medications.

A drug crime lawyer has in-depth knowledge of federal and state drug laws and can navigate the complexities of the legal system to protect your rights. They can challenge the prosecution's evidence, negotiate plea deals, and represent you in court to potentially reduce charges, dismiss the case, or minimize penalties.

When Should I Hire a Drug Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a drug crime lawyer as soon as possible in the following situations:

  • Under Investigation: If you suspect you are being investigated for a drug-related offense, consulting a lawyer early can help you avoid self-incrimination and prepare a defense strategy.
  • Arrested or Charged: If you have been arrested or formally charged with a drug crime, immediate legal representation is crucial to protect your rights and begin building your defense.
  • Search and Seizure Issues: If law enforcement has conducted a search of your person, vehicle, or property, a lawyer can assess whether your Fourth Amendment rights were violated and if any evidence can be suppressed.
  • Facing Serious Penalties: Drug charges can carry severe consequences, including jail time, hefty fines, probation, mandatory rehabilitation programs, and a permanent criminal record.
  • Complex Cases: Cases involving multiple charges, conspiracy, trafficking across state or national borders, or allegations of involvement with organized crime require specialized legal expertise.

What Does a Drug Crime Lawyer Do?

A drug crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:

  • Legal Consultation and Advice: Explain the charges against you, your rights, and the potential consequences. They will help you understand the legal process and your options.
  • Case Investigation: Examine the details of your case, including police reports, evidence, and witness statements, to identify weaknesses or violations of legal procedures.
  • Defense Strategy Development: Create a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the legality of the search and seizure, disputing possession, or questioning the credibility of witnesses.
  • Negotiating with Prosecutors: Work to negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
  • Court Representation: Represent you in all court proceedings, advocating on your behalf during hearings, trials, and sentencing.
  • Protecting Your Rights: Ensure that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
  • Post-Trial Assistance: Assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or expungement of records if applicable.

How Are Drug Crime Lawyers Paid?

Drug crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

  • Hourly Rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and geographic location.
  • Flat Fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, providing cost predictability.
  • Retainer Fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. The retainer may need to be replenished as the case progresses.
  • Payment Plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.

It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.

How Much Does a Drug Crime Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a drug crime lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, severity of the charges, and the lawyer's experience. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $200 to $500 or more per hour.
  • Flat Fees: For less complex cases (e.g., simple possession charges), flat fees might range from $2,000 to $7,500.
  • Complex Cases: Cases involving multiple charges, felonies, or trafficking can cost $10,000 to $50,000 or more due to the extensive legal work required.
  • Trial Costs: If your case goes to trial, costs can increase significantly, potentially exceeding $25,000.

Additional costs may include:

  • Expert Witness Fees: Costs for specialists who may testify on your behalf, such as forensic experts or toxicologists.
  • Investigative Expenses: Expenses related to gathering evidence, hiring private investigators, or locating witnesses.
  • Court Fees and Administrative Costs: Filing fees and other expenses associated with court proceedings.

Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss potential additional costs to avoid unexpected expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Drug Crime Lawyer

  1. What experience do you have handling drug crime cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has a strong background in defending against the specific charges you are facing.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure and get an estimate of the total cost involved.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect for my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment, including best-case and worst-case scenarios.
  4. What is your approach to defending drug crime charges?
    Learn about the strategies they might employ and how they plan to handle your defense.
  5. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates and availability.
  6. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understand the challenges you may face and how the lawyer plans to address them.
  7. How long do you expect the legal process to take?
    Get an estimated timeline based on the specifics of your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Drug Crime Lawyer

  • Verify Their License: Ensure the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state's bar association.
  • Experience and Specialization: Look for a lawyer who specializes in criminal defense with a focus on drug crimes.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials: Research online reviews or ask for references to learn about other clients' experiences.
  • Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) indicates a commitment to the field.
  • Disciplinary Record: Check for any past disciplinary actions or complaints filed against the lawyer.
  • Consultation Feedback: Use the initial consultation to assess their communication style, professionalism, and confidence in handling your case.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a drug crime lawyer, bring the following:

  • Detailed Account of Events: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, locations, and interactions with law enforcement.
  • Legal Documents: Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Arrest records
    • Charging documents
    • Bail paperwork
    • Search warrants
    • Any correspondence from law enforcement or the court
  • Witness Information: Provide names and contact information of any potential witnesses who can support your defense.
  • Evidence: Bring any physical evidence or records that may be relevant, such as text messages, emails, or surveillance footage.
  • List of Questions: Prepare questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer's experience.
  • Honesty: Be prepared to discuss all details openly and honestly; attorney-client privilege ensures confidentiality.

By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your case.
