Being charged with a crime puts your life in the hands of a judicial system that all too often does not care about the truth - the truth of who you are, the truth of what happened, the truth of what a conviction would mean for you and your loved ones. It is an experience that is terrifying and leaves you feeling lost, powerless, and unheard.. I've dedicated my life to being a voice for the accused, because the truth is no matter the situation, you also have a story to tell and deserve to be heard. Whether that means fighting at trial to show your innocence, litigating to protect your constitutional rights, or finding a way to present you and your life to a prosecutor to obtain a favorable plea deal, I have the skills and experience necessary to guide you through the system and make sure your truth is heard.. During my years as a public defender and in private practice, I have represented thousands of clients, on cases ranging from minor traffic offenses and DUI's to homicides and sexual assaults. I have won difficult cases with not guilty verdicts at jury trials, by winning hard-fought motions issues that force a dismissal, by convincing prosecutors to drop charges through investigation and mitigating, by challenging probable cause at preliminary hearings, and by successfully litigating for post-conviction relief.. There is nowhere I am more comfortable than in a courtroom arguing to a jury. I have extensive experience as a trial lawyer, starting with winning my first jury trial at the age of 23 in the CU Law criminal defense clinic and representing my law school at nationals for mock trial -- a team that I now proudly coach at competitions across the country. As a public defender, I completed the Colorado "boot camp" and was trained on the acclaimed "Colorado Method" for jury selection that was developed from death penalty defense work. Over my career I have handled the full spectrum of misdemeanor and felony jury trials. Being blessed with the opportunity to teach trial skills to law students and new lawyers always reminds me that great things come when you never stop learning and strive for excellence..
