How We Can Help Your Case

If you didn’t commit a crime, it should be easy to prove your innocence. Unfortunately, the justice system doesn’t always work that way. The prosecution will throw everything they can at you, and they do not care if it ruins your reputation, relationships, or life. You need an experienced criminal defense attorney and you need one the moment you are arrested.

A defendant with an attorney present at their very first court appearance is 2.5 times more likely to be released on bail. They are also 4.5 times more likely to have that bail be significantly lowered. Most importantly, the defendant’s chances of serving less to no jail time can skyrocket.

Attorneys also bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and connections. A good attorney will start working your case immediately, rather than waiting until trial. They’ll interview witnesses, compile evidence, and figure out what the best defense will be. None of which you can do from jail.

The court processes and the minutiae of criminal law can be overwhelming. That’s okay, it isn’t your job to know how to defend yourself. A skilled criminal defense attorney will have the experience and knowledge your need to help get you the best possible outcome for your case.

How Do I Seal My Records in Colorado?

When a person is arrested or convicted in Colorado, it goes on their criminal record. Sealing a criminal record in Colorado will hide your records from public view. Sealing your records will enhance your employment prospects.

Although Colorado is a “Ban the Box” state where employers aren’t allowed to force applicants to disclose a criminal record on an initial job application, employers can still check your criminal history at any time. And you may also be disqualified from getting a professional license in Colorado for having a felony conviction.

The record sealing process in Colorado involves filing a petition with the court and paying a filing fee. Then you or your lawyer must convince the court to seal the record.

For arrests on or after January 1,2022, The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will automatically seal a person’s arrest record when no criminal charges have been filed within a year of the arrest.
