Colorado Springs Criminal Defense

If you or a loved one has been recently arrested for a crime in and around the Colorado Springs, Colorado region -- be it a minor misdemeanor offense like theft or a major felony charge like assault and battery -- chances are you are confused, nervous, and overwhelmed by the potential punishments awaiting you. It does make sense to be concerned. The actions and decisions you make in the days and weeks following your arrest can have a profound impact on your potential sentencing and long-term ramifications for your professional future.

Types of Colorado Springs Criminal Charges

Here is a brief primer on common types of criminal arrests:

Understanding Potential Punishments

Your penalties will depend on the seriousness of your charge as well as other factors, such as whether you have a past criminal record, whether you demonstrate contrition (you are sorry for what you did), and whether you committed additional crimes on top of the one that you intended to commit (e.g. assaulted a police officer while committing an armed robbery).

You might face time in prison, court costs and fines, suspension of your driver's license, loss of a medical or other professional license, and secondary consequences, such as degradation of your professional reputation and difficulty securing loans and voting in elections.

Defendants can choose to represent themselves in criminal matters in Colorado. But this practice is not advisable. Criminal law is exceptionally complicated. Uninformed defendants can inadvertently help the prosecution and overlook important resources for their defense.

5Tim was an absolute professional

Tim was an absolute professional from day one to months past my case. His attention to details is incomparable, he hired a private investigator and conducted a thorough search for my case. He kept me up to date throughout the entire ordeal and never once not returned my call within the hour. He made me feel at peace and ease while facing a very difficult situation. His respect in the court room is unparalleled in El Paso county. There is a saying "you pay for what you get" and in this case I am thoroughly convinced that I got the better deal. Thank you Tim and your staff, you never gave me false expectations and conducted yourself exactly like I would expect the best to.
