Criminal Defense & Traffic Law

 

You should know...

An experienced defense attorney can advise you:

  • What the prosecutor must prove in court
  • Whether your Miranda rights have been violated
  • Whether you should accept a plea offer or go to trial

You are not required to perform a roadside test or submit to a portable breath test (PBI) if stopped for a DUI.

Refusal to take a breath or blood test results in a mandatory one-year license revocation.  (No "red license.")

Our criminal and traffic team

Mark Biddison and Lee Strickler

It is vital to consult a seasoned criminal defense lawyer if you have been charged with a crime.  Regardless of the ultimate legal outcome, criminal accusations can make an extremely damaging, long-lasting impact on the rest of your life.

Stevens, Littman, Biddison, Tharp & Weinberg, L.L.C. provides zealous representation for clients accused of felonies, misdemeanors, and petty offenses in Colorado.  We take a two-fold approach to dealing with criminal charges:

  • Trial preparation.  We thoroughly analyze cases to find their strengths and weaknesses.  We investigate witnesses, physical evidence, and the crime scene.  We prepare the strongest defense possible.
  • Right protection.  Everyone charged with a crime has certain rights under due process of the law.  Violations by prosecuting attorneys, law officers, and the court are unacceptable.  Our lawyers are committed to protecting your rights and will not hesitate to take action on your behalf if they are violated.

When the time comes to go to trial, we have the courtroom experience necessary to present powerful arguments before judges and juries.  We do all we can to ensure you receive a fair and just trial.  Our successful track record speaks for itself.

Due process rights

Your due process rights include:

  • The right to remain silent
  • The right to an attorney
  • The right to a fair and public trial
  • The right to an impartial jury of your peers
  • The right to be heard in your own defense
  • An automatic presumption of innocence
  • Protection against self-incrimination

Traffic offenses

Moving violations, DUIs, and other traffic offenses often carry heavy fines and penalties, including higher insurance premiums, points on your license, license suspension, and jail time.  Our defense attorneys know Colorado traffic law and all the legal aspects of the point system.  We help you take preemptive steps before your court date, such as enrolling in alcohol treatment programs or driving classes, and argue your case in court.  We do all we can to have charges reduced or dismissed so your driving record stays as clear as possible.
