Ara Ohanian cost me my child and my freedom

Ara Ohanian’s failure to properly represent me by only calling 1 witness at my trial, and not calling any of the 32 witnesses he was provided, is the reason I now have a criminal record as a felon and will not be able to reunite with my son. Oh, and I found out he was only calling one witness in the ...middle of my trial, forcing me to testify to get any evidence in. Ara pretended he cared about Justice in my case but when it came down to the truth, he was too chicken to follow through with standing up for what was right. Do what ever you can to avoid using him. You might even be better off representing yourself because he blocks evidence from being authenticated, no matter how many times you ask him. And when trying to file a complaint against him, the state of Colorado public defenders office does not even acknowledge receipt of the complaint. Ara Ohanian’s incompetency cost me so much, including my liberty and family. I deeply regret that he was never assigned to my case.

One of the few.

Diligent, conscientious, zealous...need more be said? His services were impeccable by any measure. But as a Public Defender? Fuggedaboutit!!!

Castle Rock PD

I spoke to Ara Ohanian today in his capacity as PD office head. This guy is no defender of criminal, civil or human rights. I had a complaint against a PD & Ohanian was rude, disrespectful & threatening in his official capacity. A BLACK MAN GETS NO JUSTICE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I strongly endorse Ara Ohanian. He is the best of the best when it comes to criminal defense attorneys. He is an effective, assertive advocate for his clients. In the legal community, Mr. Ohanian is known for his in-depth knowledge of criminal law and courtroom procedure, as well as his ability to assert quick, tactical defenses. He is experienced with the most serious felony offenses, yet he gives equal dedication to the smaller cases. He also has an outstanding track record of success in the courtroom. Mr. Ohanian has years of litigation experience. I have personally seen him in courtrooms many times, and I have seen him win time after time by being smarter and better than his opponent."
