White Collar Crime, Fraud, Financial Crime, Tax Crime

White collar crime is not a singular offense. There are a wide variety of white collar crimes, affecting all areas of finance from tax evasion to mortgage fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.  White collar crimes carry the potential of prison time, large fines and restitution, and irreparable damage to your reputation and career.   It’s vitally important to have effective and experienced legal counsel on your side, no matter what type of charge(s) you face.   The defense of white collar and fraud charges can be very complex.  An in-depth knowledge of the applicable laws, accounting and business practices, and sentencing guidelines and procedures is necessary to mount a successful defense.  I have handled numerous white collar crime cases, including charges of:

  • Tax Evasion
  • Mail Fraud
  • Wire Fraud
  • Mortgage and Bank Fraud
  • Securities Fraud
  • Violations of Patent and Trademark Laws
  • Trafficking in Counterfeit Goods
  • Smuggling
  • Money laundering

Drug Charges

I am highly experienced in drug crime defense.  I have handled hundreds of drug crime cases, including charges of:

  • Drug possession
  • Drug trafficking
  • Drug possession with intent to distribute
  • Drug manufacture and cultivation
  • Prescription drug charges
  • Drug conspiracies
  • Money laundering

I handle cases involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, crack, ecstasy, methamphetamines and all other illegal drugs, as well as prescription drugs, including OxyContin, Vicodin, Adderall, Ritalin, and many more.

I handle drug crime cases in both the state and federal court.

State Crimes

The range of crime that can be charged in state court is vast.  I have practiced in every jurisdiction up and down Colorado’s front range as well as in many of Colorado’s mountain and rural jurisdictions.  I have handled first degree murder cases in Denver, Adams, Jefferson, El Paso, and Larimer counties.  I have handled thousands of cases including charges of:

  • Violent crimes, including capital murder, homicide, manslaughter, armed robbery, kidnapping, assault, battery, domestic violence and sex offenses
