You never thought this could happen to you, but now you are facing it, and you are unsure where to turn or who to trust. We understand your situation, as we have not only seen it happen before, but we’ve helped many people out, like yourself, who are currently being accused of a sexual offense that you did not commit. While we do not wish to understate the importance and tragedy of actual sexual offenses, we cannot diminish the fact that some people falsely accuse others of committing sexual offenses as well. Both situations are not only unsettling, but have the unstoppable power of changing the life trajectory of all involved.

If you are one of those people who are facing a sexual offense accusation, then you are beginning to understand that your life is taking a new turn, and it can end poorly for you. This type of accusation changes how people will look at you, interact with you, and sometimes may even cause people to fear and attack you. The reasons that people take this measure of accusing someone of this type of crime stem from anger, attention-seeking, revenge, and regret. These very real instances do occur. Unfortunately, this often means that prosecutors move forward under the assumption that the accuser is correct since the accusation is so intimate and personal.

Add to this scary reality that the Colorado laws surrounding this prompt judges and prosecutors to aggressively pursue the accused parties and leave them high and dry for an indefinite amount of time, even if the case isn’t so clear-cut as the person who is accusing them makes it out to be.

For this very reason, it cannot be understated how important it is to seek a criminal defense attorney who has experience evaluating these types of cases and taking on the case of those who suffer from being wrongfully accused.

If you live in or around Denver, Golden, Lakewood, Evergreen, Conifer, Arvada, Littleton, Broomfield, Westminster, Wheat Ridge, Thornton, as well as other cities in and around Jefferson and Adams Counties, and you are facing wrongful sexual offense charges, then contact criminal defense lawyer D.R. Jones today for a free evaluation.

There is no doubt about how perilous sex crimes are as a part of society. They have damaging effects that can linger on for a lifetime. They can alter a victim’s perspective on the world. They can also lead to unjust conviction when they are inappropriately used to accuse someone in order to enact revenge or achieve some other motive.

As terrible as sex crimes are, there are also people who use accusations of sex crimes as an excuse to get something they want. While it seems outlandish, it, unfortunately, is a reality that we see pass through our doors with some degree of frequency.

A criminal defense attorney is your first line of defense when it comes to protecting yourself against falsified sex crime allegations.

You did not get the results you were hoping to hear. You were found guilty of your criminal case, and will face sentencing. If the criminal case involved violence, then you will be facing time in prison. Beyond that, you will have court fees, and a stark lack of resources assuming that it will be a difficult transition back into society following your conviction.

Unfortunately, this story plays out over and over again in today’s society. People are accused, tried, convicted, and sentenced in the criminal court system, and their lives remain dramatically altered long after they passed the terms of their sentencing.

When you are accused of perpetrating a criminal act, it is always in your best interest to seek the professional guidance of a criminal defense attorney. This person will help you by evaluating the terms of your charges, and then guide you towards the right methods to ensure that you will be defended properly, and, if it is the case, on the receiving end of a sentencing that is no greater than the charges call for.

Sentencing does not mean the end of the road for the convicted, either. You can always appeal the sentencing for various reasons, not limited to ineffective assistance of counsel, errors made during arrest or conviction, or the sentence is greater than the crime merits. A criminal defense lawyer will help you understand your options and how to best pursue them.

If you live in or around Denver, Golden, Lakewood, Evergreen, Conifer, Arvada, Littleton, Broomfield, Westminster, Wheat Ridge, Thornton, as well as other cities in and around Jefferson and Adams Counties, and you want to ensure your sentence is fair, then call the Law Offices of D.R. Jones today for a free, confidential consultation. Your future may depend very much on whether or not an unfair sentence is modified!

You have been charged, you were found guilty, and your sentence has been determined. Your life is much different than it was a year ago, and you are not sure what is going to come next. The one thing that you are certain of, however, is that you will do whatever it takes to reverse the sentence, or at the very least, do what you can to make it more fair. Even if you are guilty of the mistake that was committed, justice still facilitates that the punishment fits the crime. Despite that fact, there are many instances where the punishment is more than deserved by the crime.

If you are looking to reverse sentence granted to you following a criminal case, then you will want to contact a criminal defense attorney who can help you fight for your right to a fair sentence. You do not have to suffer any more consequences than are deserved, especially in cases where you are hoping to appeal not just the sentence, but the crime as well.

If the sentence you were given is higher than you and the prosecutor had agreed to for a plea bargain, which the court had agreed to before the sentencing process, then you have a strong case for appeal. Also, there are general mercy grounds for which people can pursue the appeals process in regards to their sentence, as well as the all-important instances where your constitutional rights were violated during the arrest or trial operations.

One of the strongest reasons for starting the process to reverse a sentence is if newly found evidence exonerates you of the charges you were convicted for.
If you live in or around Denver, Golden, Lakewood, Evergreen, Conifer, Arvada, Littleton, Broomfield, Westminster, Wheat Ridge, Thornton, as well as other cities in and around Jefferson and Adams Counties, and you are seeking the professional guidance of a criminal defense attorney, call the Law Offices of D.R.

Ineffective assistance of counsel is something that is often mistaken for legal malpractice. Legal malpractice occurs when a lawyer is thought to have operated with their client below an acceptable standard of legal professionalism.

If you were involved in a criminal case, and you believe the reason you lost was because your attorney made several mistakes or was incompetent, this can be used as grounds to appeal based on ineffective assistance of counsel.

If you were involved in a criminal case, and you feel you were misrepresented in this type of way and unfairly lost, then you will want to seek the advice of an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you use ineffective assistance of counsel as grounds for an appeal, which may get you a chance at another, more fair trial.

Some of the key indicators that you fell victim to a case of ineffective assistance of counsel include:

  • You had a defense lawyer who would skip consulting with you and go with his own strategies.
  • Notices were filed late or not at all during your criminal case.
  • You noted unprofessional behavior, such as unruly conduct, lying, or tardiness.
  • You had a difficult time communicating with your lawyer.
  • They don’t seem to know what they were doing in the courtroom.
