Experienced Colorado Criminal Defense Lawyer
Any criminal investigation or arrest should be treated extremely seriously. Your future and your freedom are at risk — a conviction for even a relatively minor offense like marijuana possession or reckless driving can have major negative consequences including jail time, a fine, a stain on your employment record and potential ineligibility for federal student loans or other federal funds.
If you are under investigation or have been arrested, do not talk to the police. Hire a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney to act as your representative. The sooner you have a criminal defense lawyer on your side — the sooner we can start working on your defense.

I have been practicing law for 30 years, including 16 years as a district attorney handling criminal cases. I know criminal law inside and out, and I focus on minimizing the penalties and consequences faced by my clients who get caught up in the criminal justice system.
I am available to defend my clients against any type of felony or misdemeanor criminal charge, including:
- Assault
- Domestic violence defense
- Sex offenses
- White collar crimes: White collar crimes are nonviolent or financial crimes like forgery and identity theft, embezzlement, computer crimes, check counterfeiting, property theft and other property crimes
- Drug charges: Any type of drug charge, including marijuana possession, possession with intent to distribute, drug trafficking and drug manufacturing
- DUI offenses: Drunk driving charges like DUI/DWAI charges and vehicular homicide or assault
- Traffic offenses and DMV hearings: Speeding tickets, reckless driving arrests, and representation at DMV hearings on license revocation
- Municipal ordinance violations: Violations of city law or regulations, like solicitation, prostitution, disorderly conduct, fighting in public, possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana possession
Additional Criminal Defense Resources
In addition to defending clients against specific charges, I help minors get their criminal records expunged if they have been convicted. I also help adults determine whether they are eligible to have their criminal records sealed.
If you are currently under investigation or have been arrested, I also urge you to review the information on Miranda Rights and What To Expect — which breaks down the criminal justice process for different types of crimes.
