Emma does both, allowing you to feel heard while taking comfort that a full force defense team is in place to realize the best possible outcome.

Firm: Leininger Law Offices

I chose the field of DUI defense for many reasons.  I have a great deal of experience in all areas of the criminal law, and it is my opinion that more people are falsely accused of DUI than any other crime.  Many Judges and jurors assume a person is impaired if he or she cannot walk perfectly heel-to-toe on a line or stand on one leg for thirty seconds.  The fact is, most people cannot do these things after having nothing to drink.  Try to do theses things in your living room, then imagine trying to do them on the side of a busy street after being pulled out of your car by a police officer.  Additionally, I like the scientific aspects of this field, such as the effects of alcohol and drugs on the human body and the inability of breath testing machines to accurately measure a person's alcohol level.

I was 42 when I got my law degree and I still look forward to coming to work every day and helping our clients. Unlike so many of my colleagues, I have over 25 years of real world experience outside of the practice of law. This breadth of knowledge and experience benefits my clients every day.. I am known for vigorously protecting my clients, particularly when they are victims of emotional or physical abuse. Yes, doing so got me disciplined because the opposing party in a divorce accused me of hurting his son's feelings. Too bad no one in the OARC cared about my client's feelings, or the abuse she has experienced at the hands of her ex-spouse for years. After spending over $22k defending against the accusation, I accepted discipline rather than spending another $30-40k going to formal hearing on the charges. If you handle high conflict divorces, you are bound to get bruised occassionally. If you are looking for an attorney he will go to the mats to protect you, I may be your guy.. My four kids are grown, but our three canine buddies keep the house from getting too quiet. That's Max, our American Foxhound mix, in the photo.. When not practicing law I stay active with my hobby, amateur radio. A former deputy sheriff and firefighter while in college, I am actively involved in disaster preparedness and response. Currently I serve as the Section Emergency Coordinator for the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) in the state of Colorado. In that capacity I lead over 700 licensed amateur radio operators who serve their communities during time of need. I am also the State Coordinator and Co-Founder of the Auxiliary Emergency Communications Unit of the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Colorado AuxComm.

I have practiced law now for more than 1/2 of my life, focused primarily in the areas of Criminal Defense, DUI/Traffic Defense, Driver's License Reinstatement, and Immigration. In my 29 plus years of practicing law, I have tried cases ranging from First Degree Murder, on down to defending minor traffic and local ordinance tickets. I have appeared in Federal Courts, other State Courts on a pro hoc vice basis, such as Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Arizona. I believe that everyone, regardless of their "station in life" is entitled to the best defense that I can give them. I believe that our system of justice, while not perfect, is still the greatest in the world, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights offer the best chance of achieving Justice.. I like to think that no case is too big, or too small, for me to take on. The day that I can no longer find the words to speak on behalf of even the most unpopular client will be the day that I retire. I said that when I was in Law School, and I still say that today.

Firm: Keen Law Offices, LLC

I thoroughly enjoy working in the field of immigration and criminal law.  Each case to me symbolizes a person who wants to stay (or come) to the United States.  I like to plan out a strategy (which can evolve through the case) to achieve my clients' goals, and then to implement it.  My professional practice is devoted to immigration and criminal law.. I enjoy spending time with my family or on the lake.  I love to travel especially to immigration conferences.. I work best with clients who want to win their case, who have compelling reasons to be in the United States, and are willing to do what it takes.
