Colorado Federal Lawyers

Federal crimes are serious offenses that carry serious penalties. When you’re facing a federal investigation or federal charges in Colorado, you need defense attorneys in the Denver area with proven experience in navigating the complexities of federal law. The Colorado federal lawyers at Evergreen Attorneys are ready to help you fight the federal government from day one. 

Many attorneys practice what we like to call “door law”: that take whatever cases come through their doors. The experienced Colorado federal lawyers at Evergreen Attorneys focus their practice daily on winning in federal court.

While there’s been attempts to count the number of federal laws in force, according to the Law Librarians of Congress, trying to tally this number is close to impossible. Instead, it’s currently estimated that there are approximately 5,000 federal statutes and 300,000 federal laws. This is why it’s critical to have a full understanding of how and why you’re being investigated and if or when you’ll be charged. 

Dependent upon the potential offense, when a federal investigation begins, some of the largest and most comprehensive investigative organizations are involved, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If arrested, the prosecution with the support and resources of the U.S. government will work diligently to pursue you and/or your organization to the full extent of the law. 

As Colorado federal lawyers with a successful track record in both civil and criminal cases, Evergreen Attorneys offer a free and confidential consultation as your first step toward protecting your rights.

What Are Your Basic Rights in Federal Court?

When facing a federal offense, you must be aware of your rights. 

• You have the right to an attorney.
• You have the right to a fair trial.
• You have the right to a jury of your peers.
• You are innocent until proven guilty. 

The first 10 amendments of the U.S. Constitution is the Bill of Rights—the foundation of U.S. law. Colorado federal lawyers need to know how to use these tools in the toolkit to hold the government accountable. The amendments associated with the criminal justice system include: 

Amendment IV—protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.

Amendment V—protects individuals from being held without cause, guarantees the right to a grand jury, prevents double jeopardy, and protects against self-incrimination.

Amendment VI—gives individuals the right to a speedy and fair public trial by an impartial jury, to be aware of the criminal charges in which they’re accused, to confront witnesses during a trial, and the right to legal representation. 

Amendment VIII—protects individuals from excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments.

Evergreen Attorneys- Your Federal Defense Attorney Nationwide

Evergreen Attorneys’ home base is on the Front Range (with another office in Dallas, Texas), but we’ve served clients in 23 states and are available nationwide. We easily navigate throughout the federal judicial court system—which encompasses 94 district courts, 13 courts of appeal, and one supreme court.

District courts are the general trial courts of the federal court system—handling both civil and criminal cases—and each district court has at least one U.S. district judge, appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate for a life term. However, district judges may vacate their position by choosing to resign, retire, or in extreme circumstances, be removed by impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by the Senate. There are more than 670 district court judges throughout the United States.  Colorado federal lawyers need to be prepared to step into any federal court on your behalf throughout the country. 

Colorado Federal Lawyers: From Initial Investigation to Potential Trial 

At Evergreen Attorneys, we take a personal and strategic approach when working our defense and seek to provide our clients with the best available outcome—whether that’s through pre-trial negotiations, a dismissal of charges, or an acquittal at trial. Colorado federal lawyers, and federal criminal defense lawyers in particular, know that achieving the best outcome for our clients requires thinking outside the box and aggressive tactics. Throughout each step, we strive to maintain clear communication and active client support. Our practice areas include federal drug crimes, federal firearms offenses, federal fraud crimes, and federal sex crimes. 

Federal Court Jury Verdicts

If there is no possible pre-trial resolution and your case goes to trial, it’s important to know that federal court juries must reach an unanimous verdict in both criminal and civil cases. If the jury cannot reach an unanimous decision—where all jurors agree—then it is considered a hung jury—also known as a deadlocked jury—and there may be a retrial.
