Colorado Criminal Defense FAQ

Answers from Boulder to the Western Slope.

  • What happens after an arrest in Colorado?

    After arrest, you’re typically booked into the local jail and may appear before a judge for bond setting within 48 hours. From there, you’ll receive a court date for arraignment and further hearings. Colorado allows defense attorneys to appear in your place for some early proceedings. We help you meet all deadlines and begin building your defense immediately.

  • Can I fight a DUI or DWAI in Colorado?

    Yes. Both charges are serious, but defenses exist—especially in cases involving flawed stops, questionable testing, or medical conditions. We represent clients in DMV hearings, criminal proceedings, and court-ordered requirements like ignition interlocks. Our goal is to preserve your record and your license.

  • Do prosecutors in Colorado offer diversion programs?

    Yes—many counties offer diversion or deferred judgment programs for eligible first-time offenders. These alternatives can help avoid a conviction and clear your record once completed. We help determine your eligibility and advocate for access to the best possible option in your area.

  • What if I’m charged in Colorado but live out of state?

    We work with many clients who were visiting Colorado—especially tourist areas like Aspen, Vail, or Breckenridge—at the time of their arrest. In many cases, we can handle local proceedings without requiring you to return for every appearance. We’ll manage communication, keep you updated, and make your case as stress-free as possible.

  • Will a criminal conviction stay on my record in Colorado?

    Some convictions can be sealed after a waiting period, but others may remain permanent. We advise you on expungement and sealing options specific to your case and Colorado law. Whenever possible, we aim to reduce or dismiss charges to protect your future employment, housing, and education prospects.
