Proven winner with the DMV

I retained Charlie Fife as council to represent me for a DMV matter which placed my driving privileges at risk. He expertly negotiated the situation and landscape to bring the issue to swift resolution. If you're facing challenges with the Department of Motor Vehicles, don't do it alone. I'd strongly... recommend that you buy yourself some peace of mind and get Charlie in your corner.

Dignity Preserved

Mr. Charlie Fife is not only an Attorney at Law, but an astute anthropologist. He studies and understands human behavior. Mistake(s) are what human beings make and then they need guidance, counsel, and most of all, understanding. Mr. Fife never once made me feel ashamed, uncomfortable or even ...embarrassed. He is very well-read and worldly which makes him unusually gifted--and very highly skilled, when it comes to working with clients from all cultures, walks of life, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Mr. Fife is eloquent and defends his clients with exquisite insight and savoir-faire. I never expected to have my dignity preserved so beautifully. Wow. I was honored. I cannot recommend Charlie Fife highly enough. He is conscientious and understatedly comforting. His respect for me, his client, is something I am incredibly grateful for.

This man saved us so much heartache and trouble with the law.

While my case did not involve dui or dwi, it was beyond my own capacity to defend myself. I owe a huge thank you to Fife Luneau, P.C. team for their help on my families behalf. They did exactly what they said they would, in the time frame promised, and were able to provide a resolution to my case ...that saved my job, my license, and my reputation with my family, my employer, and my friends. I can highly recommend these folks to anyone looking for the defense you not only have every right to seek, but deserve to have. I am very thankful for the outcome and this would never be the case without Charlie working on our behalf.

Incredible expertise and excellent service

Charlie was referred to me by a family friend who was in the law industry but did not handle DUI cases. I knew I needed representation, even though this was the first time I was in trouble with the law, I had no idea where to begin or what to do. From our first encounter until our last, Charlie was p...rofessional, straight forward, and non-judgmental. Lawyers often get a bad reputation from certain individuals that brand their profession negatively, but Charlie epitomizes the best characteristics and traits of a litigator. He will leave no stone unturned and will fight for your best interest no matter the circumstances. Words cannot justify my incredibly gratitude towards his service and his ongoing drive to ensure that every clients he represents gets the best result possible. Not often do I leave reviews for service I paid for, but this extraordinary service is worth promoting to anyone who is in need, you cannot go wrong with Charlie Fife.

"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."
