Chances are if you've been arrested, you are uncertain as to what steps you need to take next. You know you need an attorney but you're probably scared, confused and concerned about what could happen if you are found guilty of the charges you're facing. I am Joel Fry, a Colorado criminal defense attorney representing clients in southwest Colorado.
I have years of experience as a trial attorney and I'll use that experience to provide you with the best criminal defense possible. Just because you've been arrested doesn't mean you are automatically considered guilty of the charges you are facing. There is always supposed to be a presumption of innocence. Felony charges are more serious and can result in prison time with life long consequences.
You need to have an experienced attorney to try your case or to negotiate an appropriate plea agreement with the District Attorney. If you're facing domestic violence charges you need someone who understands Colorado laws pertaining to domestic violence.
