Colorado criminal laws are tough. It is easy for the District Attorney to judge you based on what appears in the police report. The District Attorney needs to know the rest of the story. Those details are seldom in the reports. To help secure a positive outcome for your case, you need an attorney you can trust that is:
Negotiation skills matter a great deal when it comes to securing a positive outcome. It’s a fact that the vast majority of criminal cases never go to trial—instead, they typically settle well beforehand. This means sound negotiation tactics are often key to making sure charges are either reduced or dropped altogether.
There are some cases that have to go to trial. As such, you need someone who is a skilled litigator who is comfortable representing you at trial. Even if your case never actually goes to trial, the fact that the District Attorney knows your attorney is ready to go to trial can help with plea negotiations.
Finally, the most effective Colorado criminal defense lawyer truly cares about you. He’ll get to know you and your situation. He will spend time with you. He will represent you in a way that emphasizes who you are as a human being rather than a person in a report. He’ll see you for who you are not for what you’ve been charged with. It is through his communication skills that your attorney will paint the picture that places you in the best light for the District Attorney to see.
Beyond these qualities, there are other experience areas to look for when choosing a criminal defense lawyer. Colorado hearings often hinge on the types of witnesses and evidence brought to the courtroom. It is vital to thoroughly evaluate any evidence produced, and at times an expert witness, such as a doctor or forensic scientist, may be instrumental in determining the outcome of a case.
