• domestic violence-related crimes;
• shoplifting (CRS 18-4-406);
• drug crimes;
• child abuse;
• assault, menacing (CRS 18-3-206) or other violent crimes;
• DUI DUI per se, DWAI, or UDD;
• white collar crimes; or
• sex crimes.

7. How do I get criminal charges dismissed?

Criminal defense attorneys thoroughly investigate each case in order to build the most effective defense possible. In many cases, defense lawyers may be able to persuade the D.A. to drop the charges by showing that their evidence is too weak or problematic to sustain a guilty verdict at trial.

The most efficacious defenses turn on the specific facts of each case. For example, typical defenses to assault charges are that the defendant was acting in self-defense, that the assault was an accident, or that the defendant was wrongly accused.

8. Do I need a defense attorney?

Defendants who wish to try to get their charges dismissed or reduced with no jail time are advised to hire a private attorney. Public defenders often do not look at a case for the first time until the arraignment, and it is rare they ever call back clients because they are so overworked. But private lawyers aggressively work up each case – maximizing the odds that the prosecutors will be persuaded to drop or lessen the charges.
