Our Toolbox

Being charged with a crime is scary, confusing and overwhelming. We know you have questions and we have the tools, experience and judgment to give you the answers you need.

We also understand that justice and the legal system in a small community may look  and feel different than in a bigger metropolitan area. Criminal charges in this context can feel more personal, and oftentimes your reputation  can be on the line. We have lived and practiced law in Southwest Colorado for over twenty years. We know the players in this legal community and we know how to operate (wisely) to get you the result you need.

We wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we took the government’s case at face value.  For us, that is just the starting point. We take the time to carefully analyze every case, every legal issue.   We do our own research, and we know where to look to find the holes in the government’s case.  We also use our years of practical, hands-on courtroom experience and our hard-earned judgment to help you navigate the best decisions for you while getting you the best possible outcome.

We routinely employ our own defense investigators to find and interview witnesses that the government may have completely disregarded, or to collect information from the defense perspective.   We also work with our own experts, leaders in their fields, such as psychologists, psychiatrists,  former DEA agents and law enforcement experts, bio-engineers, accident reconstructionists, excessive force experts, sexual assault nurse examiners, DNA experts, forensic pathologists, medical doctors, toxicologists, and digital forensic examiners, to name a few. We know who to call when you (or we) need something, and we tap into our professional relationships with folks statewide and nationally, to your advantage.

Through our years of commitment to defending the accused in Southwest Colorado, we have become the backbone of our local defense community.  We stay up to date on the  issues affecting the law, and we employ our expertise in the courtroom. Our attorneys are known throughout Colorado and nationally as the “go-to” trial attorneys in Southwest Colorado.  Call us today to get started with your case.
