Office

Charlie’s practice focuses on criminal law and administrative and civil proceedings.
 
CRIMINAL LAW
 
Prior to joining BHGR, Charlie worked as a Deputy Public Defender in Adams County. Charlie represents clients in all types of criminal proceedings and charges from DUI and careless driving to assaults, burglary, domestic violence, sex assault, and homicide in municipal, county, and district courts across Colorado. He works with clients through every stage of a criminal case, including pre-filing, discovery, trial, sentencing, record sealing, expungement, appeals, and post-conviction matters. While capable of trying any criminal case to verdict, Charlie works tirelessly to resolve cases prior to trial through negotiations with the district attorney’s office and mitigation efforts. He also helps clients proactively address personal, mental health, and behavioral issues which may have contributed to criminal allegations.
 
ADMINISTRATIVE AND CIVIL PROCEEDINGS
 
Charlie’s criminal practice frequently includes collateral or related administrative and civil law proceedings. As a result, he represents clients in a variety of administrative matters including those concerning student conduct issues, restoration of gun rights, and driver’s license issues. He frequently appears before the DMV and DORA. He also represents clients on a variety of civil claims, including those involving breach of fiduciary duty, business disputes, civil theft, immigration, insurance, medical malpractice, misappropriation, personal injury, protective orders, and theft of trade secrets.
