Charlie got me the best disposition

Charlie got me the best disposition I could have ever imagined, with his knowledge as well as knowing the right people.

Posted by anonymous | August 25, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

The BEST!

As a OTR truck driver, it can be difficult at times to deal with certain situations. I found myself facing a "Serious violation" on my driving record which can be detrimental to a driver. After speaking with my first attorney, I assumed the worst and that it was going to be on my record for the 3 yea...rs. Not giving up hope, I found a second attorney and he told me that who I really needed to be speaking with was Mr. Charlie Fife. After a brief conversation, I learned that Mr. Fife was confident that he could assist in resolving this matter. He felt confident that he would be able to ammend the offense to a lesser charge and into a less severe category. Though this would have tarnished my clean record, I came to accept the fact that the lesser offense would be better than the original outcome. As the court date grew closer, my nerves started to grow as well. Then..... pops in the email with the verdict. Much to my surprise, Mr. Fife not only hit a homer, but rather a grand slam right out of the park. Mr. Fife didn't get my offense lessened. He was able to get the whole case dismissed! Because of Mr. Fife, my driving record still remains flawless. I would like to say that I beyond reccomend Mr. Fife and his firm. If you are looking for an attorney with confidence to not only fight for you, but the determination to succeed and Win! Look no further. Again Mr. Fife, THANK YOU!

Speed ticket

The lawyer was awesome and made a speeding ticket is dismiss )that's what he said As you know, I was very pleased with the not guilty verdict in your case. You were charged with a four (4) point speeding charge. Since you were found not guilty no points will be assessed against your driving reco...rd. You do not need to pay fines or court costs. You do not need to do any driving classes.)

Deferred Judgement

Best decision I ever made was switching lawyers to Charlie Fife. I was referred to Charlie by a close friend after hearing my concerns about my existing lawyer. I was charged with a DUI, and although my current lawyer was doing a pretty good job, I didn't want to face a DUI Charge on my record f...or life, and felt this was likely, with my existing council. I switched to Charlie and after thorough review of my case and time spent with the DA, including appearing in court with me and on my behalf 5 times, he was able to get a Deferred Judgement and Sentence! We were prepared to go to court, but didn't have to. I feel that I've been given another chance. This Deferred Judgement was so very important to my family and I because, if convicted, the charge would follow me around for the rest of my life, affecting my career path and future reputation, especially given how common online criminal background checks are. Furthermore, the money I will now save on insurance and fees alone; the attorney fee will have paid for itself. Highly recommend this attorney or someone in his office.

Got my DUI Dismissed completely!

I got arrested for a DUI and blew a 0.105. I thought I was definitely going to get charged with a DWAI in a plea bargain, but through Charlie Fife's connections he found that the arresting officer was no longer in the state and he was able to get the case dismissed which I am so grateful for. If you'...re looking for an attorney, he's the guy you want.

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Charlie is a criminal defense legend in Denver, and leads one if the most respected firms for DUI defense. When I was a prosecutor, Charlie was the guy that made many of the DA's sweat. His rating on AVVO is completely inaccurate as he should be at the top."
