Building a Strong Defense
I was a Deputy District Attorney assigned to the Larimer County Drug Task Force where I learned the intricacies of drug crime cases. I understand how to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a prosecutor's case and use those insights to my client's advantage. Search and seizure and Fourth Amendment issues are complicated, I have experience dealing with these issues and know what details to look for in your case.
My goal will be to build a strong defense aimed at obtaining the best possible outcome for you, whether that is a dismissal of charges, deferred verdict, negotiated plea or successful verdict at trial.
Avoiding Conviction and Getting the Help You Need
Fortunately for many first-time drug offenders, there are alternatives to conviction and incarceration. Drug court is an option which can defer a conviction and help you get treatment for your underlying addiction problem. Such an outcome is not available in every case. If you qualify and you want to get help while avoiding a conviction, I will work with the prosecutor and court to obtain it for you.
