Colorado Federal Criminal Defense FAQ
What you need to know about U.S. District Court cases.
Where are federal cases heard in Colorado?
Federal criminal cases are prosecuted in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, headquartered in Denver. Additional federal proceedings may be held in locations like Grand Junction or Colorado Springs. We represent clients across all regions and guide them through this complex and high-pressure legal system.
What should I do if federal agents contact me?
Stay calm and don’t speak with them until you’ve consulted a lawyer. Federal agents are trained to gather statements that may be used to build a case. We can step in immediately, communicate on your behalf, and protect your rights. Even if you haven’t been charged, early intervention is crucial.
Are federal penalties more severe than state penalties?
Often, yes. Federal sentencing guidelines are strict and can include mandatory minimums, especially in drug and fraud cases. The government typically has more resources and longer investigations behind these charges. We analyze your exposure and build a defense designed to limit your risk.
Can my case be handled without going to court?
Some federal cases result in negotiated pleas or pretrial resolutions. However, each case depends on the charges, evidence, and client goals. We prepare every case thoroughly, whether it resolves through negotiation or goes to trial. Preparation puts us in the strongest position to advocate for you.
Can you represent clients in smaller Colorado towns?
Absolutely. We serve clients statewide—including those in Steamboat Springs, Durango, Aspen, and beyond. Many federal cases are centralized in larger courts, but the alleged offenses may have occurred in smaller communities. We coordinate travel, manage filings, and ensure your case is handled efficiently wherever it’s based.
