Memorial Day is about remembering those who lost their lives while serving our country, but it’s also a time where we start celebrating the end of the school year and the beginning of summer.

These feelings are completely valid—criminal charges are often complex, high-stakes, and may come with harsh consequences. In cases where police informant testimony is a key factor, the situation can become even more challenging. The reliability and credibility of informant witnesses can be questioned, and [...]
Field drug tests are often treated as if they’re definitive. You’re told the results came back positive, and that’s that. But if you’ve been charged in Colorado based on one of these tests, there’s a good chance the results don’t tell the whole story.
You need a Denver, Colorado drug crimes defense lawyer who’ll ask hard questions, examine the smallest details, and challenge assumptions that prosecutors would rather leave untouched. We take that work seriously at the Law Office of [...]
No one wakes up expecting to be charged with vehicular homicide. One moment you’re driving—then everything changes. Lights, sirens, questions you don’t know how to answer. And just like that, you’re being treated like a criminal.
