Denver, Colorado: Property Crime Defense
White collar crimes are crimes without violence — usually involving money, computers or the Internet, or some combination of all three. Defending against a white collar crime charge requires particular skills that not every criminal defense attorney has, including financial acumen and the ability to understand complicated trails of money.

My legal practice is entirely devoted to criminal defense, including the defense of white collar crimes. I have almost 30 years of legal experience, including 16 years as a prosecutor. My skills are strong in the investigation and negotiation phases of a criminal case. This is where we uncover information that we can use to convince the prosecution that the case is weak and should not go to trial.
I advocate on my clients' behalf for dismissals or plea bargains, understanding that few of my clients want to undergo the time and expense of a trial. Most clients desire a fairly speedy outcome that minimizes the penalties— like fines or prison time. I work unwaveringly, using my considerable knowledge of white collar crimes and the elements that are necessary to prove or disprove them, to obtain the best possible results for my white collar crime defendants.
I handle a wide variety of property crimes in Colorado state court, including:
- Embezzlement
- Computer crimes
- Forgery and identity theft
- Counterfeiting checks
- Securities fraud
- Mortgage fraud
