Effectively Defending Against Felony or Misdemeanor Assault Charges

Depending on the severity of the allegations and the particular circumstances giving rise to your assault charges, you may be charged with a felony or a misdemeanor assault. There is a significant difference; a conviction for felony assault is punishable with a mandatory prison sentence.

With the threat of prison looming, people often prefer to obtain plea bargains in assault cases. As a former prosecuting attorney, I can effectively negotiate on your behalf to obtain fair and reasonable plea bargains. I know what I wanted to hear as a prosecutor to consider offering a reduced plea bargain, and I can use this information when dealing with prosecuting attorneys on your behalf.

Call (303) 725-0017 today to discuss your legal concerns with a skilled criminal defense attorney who also served as a prosecutor for more than 13 years.

Working Closely with Investigators to Protect Your Interests

For a simple assault charge, police officers are not likely to do a full investigation. At the point they have made an arrest, police stop investigating. The problem is police officers often fail to consider the full situation giving rise to an assault, ignoring the possibility of mutual combat or self-defense.

When necessary, we can hire private investigators to complete the investigation from where the police stopped. Together, we will make sure that the judge, jury and prosecuting attorney know the full story.
