Denver Criminal Law Lawyer

When Police Make Mistakes, People Can Go to Jail

Police officers make mistakes like anybody else. However, when the police make mistakes, people can go to jail. As your lawyer, my job is to keep that from happening.

I am Andres Guevara, a criminal defense attorney in Denver, Colorado. Many defense attorneys fall into the trap of thinking that the defense does not have to prove anything; they just have to disprove an element of the prosecution's case. As an experienced trial attorney, I don't believe that.

No jury just wants the accused and his or her lawyer to play defense. They want the defense to be aggressive and to come up with answers to the prosecution's case. From the day of our first consultation, I will be thinking about how I will explain your case to a jury. I will be proactive and make your case as strong as possible for trial or for plea bargain. Many criminal defense attorneys don't have that perspective. Too many attorneys want to finish your case before it has even begun. To me you are not a number. You are a person and right now, your case is one of the most important things in your life. You need and deserve an attorney who understands the stress and fear you are feeling.

Areas of Practice

I represent clients in all types of criminal law cases from drunk driving and assault defense to murder. I will help you to create a strong defense in all types of criminal cases:

I also handle probation violations, habitual criminal offenses, and appeals of criminal convictions. If you think you were wrongly convicted of a criminal charge, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case from the perspective of the appeals process. I am willing to take your case as far as it needs to go to protect your rights.

Immigration consequences of a conviction

If you are an immigrant and are convicted of a crime, you could be subject to deportation. As your lawyer, I will work hard to resolve your case in a way that protects your immigration status.
