Types of Cases We Handle

Criminal defense is never one-size-fits-all. Here’s where we focus our efforts for clients in Grand Junction and across the Western Slope:


  • DUI Defense

  • CDL & Traffic Violations
    Commercial drivers face higher stakes. We help truckers—including Russian and Ukrainian drivers—defend their livelihood.
