Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice protects clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges through comprehensive evidence investigation and courtroom advocacy. We handle cases ranging from murder to theft, leveraging over 25 years of trial experience to secure dismissals and acquittals. Our approach combines Trial Lawyers College techniques with personalized strategies to ensure each client's story is effectively presented.
Sex Crimes Defense
Specialized defense for sexual assault and related charges requires understanding complex legal and social implications. We challenge false accusations through thorough investigation of accuser motives and evidence collection. Our team successfully defends cases involving statutory rape, internet exploitation, and child-related offenses, often achieving complete dismissals through pretrial negotiations or jury trials.
Title IX Defense
We represent students accused of misconduct in university proceedings while protecting their rights in parallel legal cases. Our defense strategy addresses both academic and criminal implications, challenging flawed investigations and ensuring due process. We handle cases at major Colorado universities, preserving academic careers while defending against potential criminal charges and sex offender registration.
Domestic Violence Defense
Our domestic violence defense focuses on disproving allegations through witness testimony analysis and evidence examination. We challenge false accusations in both misdemeanor and felony cases, addressing self-defense claims and procedural violations. With extensive trial experience, we secure not-guilty verdicts and prevent mandatory sentencing requirements while protecting clients' professional and personal futures.
DUI Defense
We defend DUI and DWAI charges through technical analysis of blood alcohol testing and procedural violations. Our approach examines field sobriety test validity, traffic stop legality, and chemical testing accuracy. With specialized training in forensic gas chromatography, we challenge evidence reliability to secure case dismissals or reduced charges while protecting clients' driving privileges.

Questions
What should I do immediately after being charged with a sex crime?
Contact our firm immediately. Do not speak to police or prosecutors without legal representation. We'll begin evidence collection and develop your defense strategy.
How does Title IX defense differ from criminal defense?
Title IX proceedings focus on academic consequences while criminal cases address legal penalties. We handle both simultaneously to protect your educational future and legal rights.
Can domestic violence charges be dismissed?
Yes, through evidence analysis, witness testimony challenges, and demonstrating procedural violations. Our track record shows successful dismissals in both misdemeanor and felony cases.
What makes your DUI defense approach effective?
We combine technical expertise in blood alcohol testing with procedural challenges to evidence collection, often securing dismissals through pretrial motions or jury trials.
Do you handle cases outside Boulder County?
Yes, we represent clients across Colorado including Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and surrounding areas for both legal and university disciplinary proceedings.
