By Scheduling a Free Initial Consultation

The longer you wait to start building your defense against criminal charges, the harder they may be to fight. Why? Because you are essentially giving the government a head start. Moreover, when you are in a pressured position — an interrogation room, for instance — you may find yourself talking under the assumption that you have no choice, or that doing so is in your best interests. Far too often, this results in people saying things that hurt their case. The right time to reach out to a knowledgeable defense attorney is always as soon as possible. As soon as you are charged — or even if you just sense the possibility of criminal charges on the horizon — don’t make any statements, invoke your right to counsel, and contact us.

The Law Office of Jacob E. Martinez can advise what is in your best interests given the situation. The difference between a conviction and an acquittal or dismissal truly can hang in the balance of just a few words.

Do not take Colorado criminal charges lightly. Navigating our criminal justice system on your own could lead to drastic, life-long consequences. This is true in some situations even if your charges seem relatively minor. Far too often, there are hidden costs and punishments that people do not realize until it is too late.

Give your case the attention and respect it deserves. Fill out our online case evaluation form, or reach out to the Law Office of Jacob E. Martinez today for a free initial consultation. You will rest easier knowing your case is in our skilled hands.

Can Dash Cam Evidence Be Used to Challenge DUI Charges in Colorado?

Yes. Dash cam footage from police vehicles and your own camera can be used to challenge DUI charges in Colorado. The question is not whether it is relevant but whether you know how to obtain it, how Colorado courts evaluate it, and what a defense attorney actually does with it. The Law Office of Jacob E. Martinez has defended DUI cases throughout Denver and surrounding Colorado courts for more than 15 years.

Understanding Colorado’s Deferred Judgment and Sentence Options for First Offenders

A deferred judgment and sentence allows a first-time offender in Colorado to plead guilty, complete a period of court supervision, and then have the guilty plea withdrawn and the charge dismissed permanently. For someone facing their first criminal charge, this is often the best available outcome.

At the Law Office of Jacob Martinez, our Denver criminal defense team has negotiated deferred judgment agreements in Colorado courts since 2014.
