Denver Criminal Defense Lawyer
When someone is charged with a crime in Denver, everything can change in an instant. A conviction can take away freedom, destroy a career and leave a mark that never fades.
At the Law Office of Andres R. Guevara, we have been defending people across Denver and the Front Range since 2007. Led by attorney Andres R. Guevara, who has practiced law since 1995, our firm focuses on providing clear guidance and strong legal defense in both state and federal cases.
What A Criminal Defense Lawyer Does
A criminal defense lawyer’s job is to protect your rights and build a defense that challenges the prosecution’s case. We investigate every fact, question every piece of evidence and work to uncover weaknesses that others overlook. Whether you face a misdemeanor or a serious felony, effective legal representation can be the difference between freedom and conviction.
Our work covers a wide range of criminal matters in Denver and the surrounding counties. We take every case seriously, no matter how complex or severe, because we know what a single charge can mean for someone’s future.
Types Of Criminal Cases We Handle
We represent clients facing a wide range of criminal charges in Colorado. Our focus includes:
- DUI defense: We help clients fight drunk and drug-related driving charges that can lead to jail, heavy fines and license suspension. We move quickly to challenge test results and protect your ability to drive.
- Drug crimes: From possession of controlled substances to trafficking cases, we know how to expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence and protect your rights under Colorado law.
- Felony offenses: We handle serious charges, including violent crimes and major theft cases that carry severe penalties. We build strong defenses backed by preparation and persistence.
- White collar crimes: We defend people accused of financial crimes such as fraud or embezzlement, where the stakes are high and the evidence is often complex.
- Sex crimes: Allegations of sexual assault or related offenses can damage a person’s life forever. We defend every case with care, discretion and attention to detail.
Each charge brings unique challenges, but the common need is clear: a strong legal defense from a lawyer who understands how the system works and how to fight back.
How Criminal Charges Affect Your Life
Criminal charges do more than threaten your freedom. They affect your job, your family and your future. Even an arrest can damage your reputation and make rebuilding your life difficult. A conviction can lead to loss of employment, professional licensing issues or immigration consequences.
Our role is to protect you from those outcomes. We analyze every step law enforcement took, challenge unlawful searches and fight to keep bad evidence out of court. Our goal is always to protect your record and your life from long-term harm.
Questions People Often Ask About Criminal Charges In Colorado
People facing criminal accusations often have the same first concerns. These are some of the questions we hear most often when someone reaches out for help.
Can I go to jail for marijuana possession in Colorado?
Yes. Even though marijuana is legal, possession beyond legal limits or with the intent to distribute can lead to jail time. The penalties depend on the amount and circumstances. Speaking with a criminal defense lawyer early can help protect your rights and options.
Will I lose my license after a DUI in Colorado?
A DUI arrest can lead to both criminal penalties and administrative license suspension. You have a limited time to request a hearing, so it’s important to contact a DUI defense attorney right away to protect your ability to drive.
What makes a crime a federal offense?
A case becomes federal when it involves federal laws, crosses state lines or affects federal agencies. Examples include major drug trafficking, wire fraud or crimes investigated by federal agents. The federal court is complex and requires experienced legal representation.
Understanding your rights and the process can ease some of the fear that comes with being charged. The next step is to speak with a lawyer who can help you plan a defense that fits your situation.
