Northern Colorado Criminal Defense Attorneys

Criminal law is the branch of law that deals with punishments for municipal, state and Federal criminal violations. Government authorities, such as the FBI, ATF, Immigration, State police, or local law enforcement officers, may file criminal charges against an individual in a broad range of crimes. Punishment for crimes may be a jail sentence, probation, community service, or a combination of fines and other sanctions.

Crimes are categorized according to severity. While less serious than a felony, a misdemeanor, such as drunk driving, can carry stiff penalties of up to one year in jail, forfeiture of your license, etc.  A felony carries a maximum sentence of more than one year and, depending on the charge, can carry up to a life sentence or even the death penalty.
