Colorado Springs is not like every other city in America

Lots of lawyers from all over the state of Colorado, and even the United States, claim to be federal criminal defense lawyers in Colorado Springs. There are almost too many options for Colorado Springs federal criminal defense attorneys for someone to know the good from the bad. To put it bluntly, lawyers living in Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Florida, or anywhere else in the country simply do not understand the unique culture and dynamics of Colorado Springs. A big “small-town” with a deep military connection, Colorado Springs federal criminal attorneys need to know the lay of the land before they walk into a courthouse.

Our experienced team of federal criminal defense lawyers at Evergreen Attorneys prides themselves on giving you good information upfront that you can use to make important decisions. This article is no different.

The federal court in Colorado Springs hears many federal criminal cases from hate crimes, to immigration cases, to federal drug cases filed by the DEA. The best federal criminal defense lawyers in Colorado Springs bring deep federal experience to the table and listen to their clients from day one when crafting a criminal defense plan. That is what we are all about at Evergreen Attorneys. We provide aggressive legal representation and work as hard as we can to bring hope to our clients in their darkest hour. 

Evergreen Attorneys are a Colorado Springs Federal Defense Team

• Evergreen Attorneys focuses exclusively on federal law. More specifically, we are federal criminal defense lawyers. We are not your DUI attorney, or your trespassing lawyer. We handle serious federal criminal cases in Colorado.
• Our team of lawyers have been practicing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit and the Colorado federal district court for years.
• Our ties to Colorado run deep. We are based in the mountains in Evergreen, Colorado, but we proudly serve the entire state of Colorado for federal criminal cases.

What makes federal criminal defense in Colorado different?

• Far too often, the team at Evergreen Attorneys hears from clients after things have gone wrong. A client has pleaded guilty or perhaps made strategic mistakes in their federal criminal defense case. The source? It is usually a lawyer who is what we lovingly call a “state court jockey” attorney. There are great lawyers in state court. But what they do is night and day different from the work of a federal criminal lawyer and our day-to-day at Evergreen Attorneys.
• State court lawyers often assume you can just make arguments in open court, not carefully scrutinize proffer agreements for clients, or candidly fail to analyze substantive federal criminal laws. Evergreen Attorneys know that you deserve a lawyer who is not on his first rodeo.
• Writing and research are the most important tools in federal criminal court. Federal criminal defense in Colorado takes what we call workhorses (people who show up and work their butts off for you when no one is watching). Bad federal lawyers are often show horses.

Best Colorado Springs Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys In Action

• The federal criminal defense lawyers at our office work every day to make themselves the best federal defense lawyers they can be. With our location nestled in the front-range, our attorneys are uniquely poised to handle any Colorado federal criminal case. That means we can be in Colorado Springs tomorrow to meet with you.

 

• Step One: always listening to our client. We cannot look at the facts, the law, or give advice without first listening to your lived experience. Our clients guide our federal criminal defense strategy from day one. Again, Colorado Springs federal defense cases are complex, involve thousands of documents, and lots of moving parts. But at rock bottom your federal lawyer needs to believe in your innocence to defend you the way you deserve.

 

• Step Two: developing a strategic plan to defend you. We start from the position that every single federal criminal case is winnable for our clients because they are innocent. How do we clear you good name? We carefully analyze the law including the jury instructions that would be used at your trial from the moment you hire us. We craft a goal of getting you the best resolution possible and map out with you how we think we can get there together as a federal criminal defense team.

 

• Step Three: dive deep. This phase involves getting the discovery (a/k/a the government’s supposed “evidence”) and reviewing it carefully with you. So often clients will approach Evergreen Attorneys and tell us that they were never shown the discovery by their lawyer. We do not operate that way. In your Colorado federal criminal defense case we expect you to be a partner in fighting the government. We will spend dozens if not hundreds of hours reviewing the documents and electronic files turned over by the government. We will explain to you how the government is going to try and twist those items in court to make their case. And we will come up with a plan for your federal criminal defense in Colorado Springs that shows the jury why the government is wrong.

 

• Step Four: talk to the dark side. We prepare every case for a federal criminal trial from day one. At the same time, we also know that it’s often in our client’s best interests to see if there is room for negotiation with the federal prosecutors. Even the best fighters know that our client’s needs are sometimes best served by forcefully negotiating a resolution with the government. Even if you decide to plead guilty, we will make sure that you receive the absolute best deal available under federal law.

 

• Step Five: showtime at trial. Federal criminal trial in Colorado Springs may seem overwhelming. We understand that your case is on the line. The top federal criminal attorneys in Colorado understand that you need a team ready to make your case their number one priority and fight for your life in front of a jury. It is an absolute honor when we represent our clients in federal criminal trials. We are willing to put our work up against anyone else in terms of quality and the care we bring to our federal criminal defense cases.
