PROTECTING THE RIGHTS & INTERESTS OF OUR CLIENTS
DURANGO, COLORADO CRIMINAL DEFENSE AND FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS
Criminal Defense
The consequences of a criminal case can be severe, and a conviction can follow a person for a very long time. Pace & Little represent both juveniles and adults facing misdemeanor and felony charges and have successfully defended clients in cases involving domestic violence, DUIs, assault, drugs, theft, burglary, sex offenses and other criminal charges.
A defendant’s rights in criminal cases can easily be disregarded by the system, and you need a vigilant lawyer with the experience to make sure that does not happen to you. No matter what the circumstances are in your case, we will vigorously fight for your interests.
DUI Charges
Pace & Little has the experience to handle DUI (driving under the influence) cases. We have seen practically every situation involving DUI charges. We know how to aggressively represent you during a criminal trial and deal with the driver’s license suspension that often accompanies a DUI charge.
A DUI conviction may result in jail time, the loss of driving privileges, large fines, demanding probation conditions, increases in insurance rates, and other consequences. It is essential that you fight these charges and work closely with an attorney who can help you minimize the effects of a DUI on your license, finances, and lifestyle.
Domestic Violence
Colorado’s mandatory arrest law for domestic violence requires law enforcement to arrest a person on the scene if they suspect domestic violence has occurred. This means that people are often arrested in the heat of the moment before a complete investigation can occur. Mandatory protection orders can prevent accused persons from contacting their spouse, from returning to their homes, and even from contacting their children all before the accused is permitted to present a defense. We do our own, independent investigations so that we can find the truth and fight for you and your family.
Domestic violence convictions require mandatory counseling, protection orders, and can permanently impact a person’s ability to own a firearm, obtain or keep professional licenses, or access certain federal benefits. We keep these serious consequences in mind so that you can make informed decisions about your case.
Personal Injury
Personal injury is a serious matter. Aside from the physical pain and suffering, a severe personal injury can have devastating effects on many other parts of our lives. These injuries can also have implications far into the future, and it is vital to have an attorney at your side who will fight for the fullest and most fair compensation.
Pace & Little have extensive experience representing clients who have been seriously injured due to others’ negligence or careless acts. Our law firm has handled all kinds of motor vehicle accidents, including those involving trucks and commercial vehicles. Wrongful death, construction accidents, dog bites, premises liability, and slip & fall cases all of them can profoundly impact our lives.
