Misdemeanor Criminal Defense – Grand Junction, CO
Being charged with a misdemeanor might seem “minor” in the eyes of the law—but to you, it’s personal. Whether you’re worried about a permanent record, jail time, or just protecting your reputation, we take every case seriously. At
Trace Tyler Law, we help people across Grand Junction and the Western Slope face down misdemeanor charges with smart, steady legal defense—so they can move forward.
Even a Misdemeanor Can Have Lasting Consequences
In Colorado, misdemeanors are criminal offenses that carry up to 364 days in jail, fines, and long-term impacts on housing, employment, and your record. You might be dealing with a simple misunderstanding—or a single mistake. But without legal help, even small charges can snowball into serious consequences.
We serve clients in Grand Junction, Mesa County, Montrose, Fruita, and surrounding areas—because no one should have to face the justice system alone.

- Criminal mischief or vandalism
- Disorderly conduct or harassment

If you're unsure whether your case qualifies as a misdemeanor—or what your options are—we’ll help you understand where things stand and how to fight back.
