Getting charged or arrested for a crime in Weld County cities like Greeley, Windsor, or Hudson is a tragic. Upon arrest or possible questioning by police about crimes like Second Degree Trespassing (CRS 18-4-503) or Fourth Degree Arson (CRS 18-4-105), the last thing you want to think about is the best way to defend yourself from false charges. While a petty or misdemeanor offense may not seem that significant initially, compounded with other charges the Weld County District Attorney will likely add, you life may change dramatically. Imagine losing your job or not being able to see your children.
We know the Weld County court system well. We know that the Weld County District Attorney will quickly overcharge cases of Second Degree Assault (CRS 18-3-203), Menacing (CRS 18-3-206) or Criminal Mischief (CRS 18-4-501) with sentence enhancers like Domestic Violence. This can turn a somewhat common misdemeanor crime into a serious felony accusation with far reaching consequences like the loss of gun rights and a permanent felony record.
