Being charged with a crime in Colorado is a serious matter. A conviction can impact your freedom, your career, your family, and, for non-citizens, your immigration status. At the Crary Law Office, we provide vigorous and strategic criminal defense representation for clients in Western Colorado, including Glenwood Springs, Rifle, Eagle, Basalt, Aspen, Snowmass, Carbondale, El Jebel, New Castle, Silt, and the surrounding areas.
We know what is at stake. From the moment you are accused, every decision matters. Our firm is dedicated to protecting your rights, challenging the evidence, and pursuing the best possible outcome.
For immigrants in Colorado, a criminal charge can mean more than jail or fines — it can mean deportation or denial of future immigration benefits. We provide defense strategies that account for both the criminal case and the immigration consequences.
Colorado has strict penalties for DUI and DWAI charges, including mandatory license suspension, fines, and possible jail time. We defend clients throughout Colorado by challenging breath and blood test results, police stops, and arrest procedures.
Colorado law takes assault, harassment, and domestic violence allegations seriously. A conviction can result in jail, protective orders, and a permanent criminal record. We investigate the facts, question witnesses, and fight for your side of the story.
Colorado prosecutes drug crimes ranging from possession of controlled substances to intent to distribute. We examine whether searches were lawful and work to minimize penalties or dismiss charges.
Theft or shoplifting charges can damage your criminal record and employment opportunities. We work to reduce the impact of these charges, exploring diversion or alternative sentencing options where available.
Driving without proper authorization in Colorado can result in fines, license revocation, and jail time. We represent clients in traffic-related criminal cases to protect their records and driving privileges.
Even minor possession charges can lead to long-term consequences. We examine every detail of your case to reduce penalties and protect your future.
These charges often result from heated moments but can still leave you with a permanent criminal record. We negotiate and defend against these charges to protect your reputation.
Local city and county ordinances in Colorado can lead to municipal charges that still carry serious penalties. We represent clients in municipal courts across the state.
When facing criminal charges in Colorado, it is important to understand both the legal process and the potential consequences. A typical case begins with an arrest or citation by Colorado law enforcement, followed by charges filed by the District Attorney. From there, you may be required to appear in local or municipal court for arraignment, hearings, or trial. Cases can be resolved through dismissal, negotiated plea agreements, or trial verdicts.
The risks of a criminal conviction are serious. Depending on the charge, you may face jail or prison time, heavy fines, probation, driver’s license suspension (for DUI/DWAI), immigration consequences such as deportation, and a permanent criminal record that can affect your employment, housing, and education opportunities.
The outcome of your case often depends on the strength of the defense presented. Evidence that can help your case may include police bodycam or dashcam footage, witness statements, forensic or scientific testing, expert evaluations of sobriety or search procedures, and character evidence or community support. At the Crary Law Office, we carefully review every detail of your case to build the strongest possible defense and protect your future.
Stay calm, do not speak to law enforcement officials without a lawyer present, and contact a criminal defense attorney immediately.
