Denver Criminal Defense Law Firm

A Letter From Lawyer Andres Guevara

Prior to establishing my Denver law practice, I worked for several years as an assistant district attorney in the busiest county in New York. I handled hundreds of cases, both high-profile and low-profile. I worked with police investigators, forensics experts and witnesses. Later I became an enforcement attorney with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in Denver. In this position, I investigated and litigated cases of potential federal securities law violations by corporate entities and individuals in Colorado.

I am attorney Andres Guevara. 100% of my law firm is dedicated to representing people who are accused of crimes in Colorado. My experience as a former prosecutor is something I use every day to help my clients.

Understanding How the Other Side Thinks

Some defense attorneys get tunnel vision because they have never seen a case from the state's point of view. One of the things that separates me from many other lawyers is that I have seen both sides of a criminal case. As a result of my experience as a prosecutor, I learned how police and district attorneys put domestic violence, assault and other criminal cases together. Understanding how the state prosecutes cases helps me prepare a better defense for my clients.

Trial Experienced and Trial Ready

Not every case needs to be tried. In many cases, a negotiated settlement is preferred, especially in family law cases where you want to preserve your relationship with the other side. However, some cases need to be tried. For example, in a criminal case, your livelihood and freedom may be at stake in the outcome and you may not be able to afford to plead guilty. In many cases, however, a guilty plea could mean more than loss of freedom — it can mean the loss of a job, the foreclosing of career paths, and social stigma. When you need to go to trial, you must be sure that your attorney is experienced and ready to fight for you in court.
