About Joseph
Biography
Although I have handled thousands of cases, I realize that this offense and this case is personal to you and it may be your first time ever in court. My office and I believe in providing personalized attention to our clients and have done so for over 25 years. Further, if you are looking for experienced, aggressive and affordable legal representation or if you have been involved in an accident, then you have found the right attorney.
I am a member of the National College of DUI Defense, a founding member of the DUI Defense Lawyers Association, a lifetime member of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, and personally endorsed by Tom Martino, the Troubleshooter. Further, I am the attorney Tom Martino turns to for legal help and am part of the Legal Help Center. I have underwent training on field sobriety tests (roadsides) and have handled thousands of DUI and personal injury (motor vehicle accident) cases and hundreds of trials. The best defense or offense in any case is working with the client to achieve the desired goal.
If you would like to discuss your case in greater detail, please feel free to contact me directly for a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION.
