Frequently Asked Questions
I have not been arrested but I think am under investigation, should I get an attorney now?
Yes. The sooner you contact an attorney, the sooner we can gain an understanding of the nature allegations against you and gauge your potential exposure. Early engagement is also important in starting to build your defense. During the investigation phase of a case, we will often contact law enforcement to provide them with additional information or evidence that we want them to consider as they determine whether or not to file charges. We routinely represent clients who have not been charged but are simply under investigation. Our best wins are the cases where no charges are filed because of swift and aggressive representation at the investigation stage.
Why should I hire an attorney based on Denver to represent me on a case charged in the mountains?
We formed High Country Legal Group specifically to bring the best possible representation to clients in the mountains. As we have traveled around the state, we have noticed that clients in mountain communities have fewer choices for top notch representation than perhaps clients on the front range. We are trying to change that. We are experienced trial attorneys who are considered some of the best criminal defense lawyers in the state. We have the experience, expertise, resources, and connections to ensure the best possible outcome in your criminal case.
Isn’t more expensive to bring in a lawyer from Denver than to hire somebody locally?
No. As a result of COVID-19, many mountain jurisdictions are have defaulted to virtual appearances for many stages in criminal proceedings. That means you are not paying us to come up for court. Additionally, we spend a significant amount of time on the western slope so in-person appearances or meetings are not an issue when necessary. We took great care when we launched High Country Legal Group to ensure that our fees are in line with local attorneys.
Will I get a better outcome in my case if I hire High Country Legal Group than a local attorney?
We can never guarantee a specific result in any case. You should be skeptical of any attorney who tells you otherwise. What we can guarantee is that is that we have the experience, the expertise, the reputations, and the resources to achieve the result that you deserve. We can also tell you that our success is based on large part by our philosophy – every single client is our most important client.
