Criminal Attorneys, DUI Attorneys, Domestic Violence Lawyers, and Criminal Defense Attorney
The
attorneys at Bloch & Chapleau have extensive experience handling
criminal matters, from pre-arrest to trial, to appeal. We represent
clients in all criminal matters including sexual assaults, drugs
charges, DUIs, murder and domestic violence. Because every case and
client is unique, the attorneys at our firm use their expertise and
experience to approach cases in a “team manner" if necessary. As part of
our team, we have three attorneys that defend clients in criminal
matters.
Domestic
Violence and Assault A crime of domestic violence means any crime involving an act of
violence where the victim had or has an intimate relationship with the
actor, and includes any crime where the reason was as a method of
coercion, control, punishment, intimidation, or revenge directed against
a person whom the actor has or had an intimate relationship. Any crime,
depending on identity of the alleged victim, can be considered a crime
of domestic violence, from apparently nonviolent felonies down to
misdemeanors. If you are charged with such a crime, a conviction could
mean losing many of your constitutional rights, including your right to
bear arms. A conviction for a crime involving domestic violence could
also have long lasting and devastating effects on your right to parent
your children. A domestic violence charge may result from a moment of
bad judgment, an accident of circumstances, or a simple miscommuncation.
It is critical that you speak with the experienced attorneys at Bloch &
Chapleau before you make any decisions that could have lifelong
consequences regarding a charge involving domestic violence.
Felonies Bloch & Chapleau handles all manners of felony crimes, whether
on the state or federal level. Felonies include homicides, kidnappings,
serious assaults, thefts, property damage, and computer crimes. Charges
range from 1st degree to 6th degree based on severity; the lower the
number the more serious the charge. A felony conviction can result in
the loss of constitutional rights, restrictions on employment, and even
a prison sentence.
These cases are always handled with the utmost attention and although we
cannot guarantee the outcome of any case, our “team approach” to
handling these cases has led to great success for our clients.
Misdemeanors Misdemeanors in Colorado include crimes such as harassment,
third degree assault, telephone obstruction, assault and battery,
possession of drug paraphernalia, false imprisonment, theft, and
destruction of property. While the consequences are typically less than
a felony conviction, they can still result in a substantial restriction
on your liberty, by requiring completion of a probation sentence,
completion of certain classes or treatment, or even jail time. It is no
less important that you speak to Bloch & Chapleau about your case.
DUI As Colorado laws regarding drinking and driving get more complex
and strict, enforcement by police is increasingly strict. Both the
direct and collateral consequences for DUI (driving under the influence)
and DWAI (driving while ability impaired) are getting more severe each
and every year. A charge involving drinking and driving can result in
serious and immediate restrictions on your right to drive, and you need
to take steps immediately to either avoid or minimize any damage that
charge will have to you. A drinking and driving conviction can result in
probation, community service, and alcohol classes and treatment.
Depending on the severity of the incident involved, a mandatory jail
sentence could be imposed. Although we cannot guarantee the outcome of
any case, we have been involved in handling hundreds of DUI cases,
including motor vehicle hearings, and Bloch & Chapleau will do
everything in our power to obtain the best results for you.
Drug Offenses Our attorneys routinely handle drug cases, from simple marijuana
tickets to drug trafficking and possession of controlled substances
charges. Drug cases can be very complex because of laws that have
special sentencing and fines. Although we cannot guarantee the outcome
of any case, our attorneys are skilled at navigating through drug court
proceedings and achieving good results.
Sexual Offenses The attorneys at Bloch & Chapleau are experienced in
representing those accused of sexual offenses, and have helped their
clients navigate the maze of consequences that result of one being
charged with a sex offense, including obtaining appropriate treatment
and counseling to achieve the best result possible for their clients.
