Probation Revocation: Occurs when someone who is serving a probationary sentence violates the terms and conditions of their probation. The probation officer may file a report detailing the alleged violations with the court. We try to combat this by analyzing circumstances leading to the revocation and advocate for fair treatment in court. With our experience, we strive to minimize the impact of probation violations on your life.
Record Sealing: It goes without saying that having a criminal record can present numerous challenges in employment, housing, and other aspects of life that are very important to our clients. Navigating these can be challenging. Due to the obstacles records can present, we aim to assist individuals in Colorado seeking to seal their criminal records. We navigate the legal process to shield your past from affecting your future opportunities.
There are often qualifications that have to be considered when seeking to record seal. It can include
- Completion of sentence/ Court Orders: Often times, a sentence needs to be completed, including probation or parole.
- Waiting Period: There is often a waiting period before individuals become eligible to petition for record sealing, which can range depending on the type of offense.
- Criminal History/Type of Offense: Certain types of offenses may not be eligible for record sealing such as serious violent crimes, certain sexual offenses, and offenses involving children.
- Compliance with Court Orders: Applicants must demonstrate compliance with all court orders, including payment of fines, restitution, and completion of any required treatment or community service.
Due to these complexities, it is important to consult with our team to determine your eligibility for record sealing.

Therefore, we seek to provide compassionate support and advocacy for individuals seeking deregistration in Colorado. Depending on the offense, deregistration is the legal process that allows individuals convicted of certain sex offenses to petition the court for removal from the registry.
