Notes from closed cases
“Every court date was explained before it happened, in plain words, with a short list of what to bring.”

“We live hours from Pueblo and never drove in once. Every meeting was on a screen, and the sealing order came by mail.”

Ask these before you hire anyone
What does the flat fee include?
Our time on your case: reading discovery, every hearing up to a plea, a dismissal or a ruling, the motions we decide are worth filing, and every call or video meeting you need. It is one agreement with one number in it.
What is not in the fee?
Costs that go to someone else: court filing fees, fines, restitution, bond, lab retests and expert witnesses. We name each one and its amount before it is spent, and none is spent without your yes.
Can I pay in parts?
Yes. Misdemeanors are paid in three monthly parts, felonies in four, and record sealing in full when you sign. If that does not fit your month, say so on the first call.
What if my case goes to trial?
A jury trial is its own flat fee, set after we have read the evidence and the court has set a trial date. You see the number and decide before you owe anything toward it.
Do I have to come to Pueblo?
No. First calls, case meetings and document signing happen by video or phone, from anywhere in Colorado. We appear in court in person where the case needs it.
What should I have ready for the first call?
Your charging papers, the bond or release papers, and the date of your next court appearance. A phone photo of each is enough.
