Highly Recommended. Class Act!!

I highly recommend Mr. Fife if involved in any DUI case. He will definitely go to bat for you with his knowledge and experience. He is very understanding of you as a person and thorough in answering any of your questions and explaining the court process. I was charged with a DUI and careless d...riving. Mr. Fife won my DMV case and also reached a plea bargain of DWAI and failure to stay in a single lane saving my license. Thank You Mr. Fife for your hard work!!!!!

Choose him, you will not regret it!

When it comes to Mr. Fife, he truly exemplifies judicial ethics. Mr. Fife represented me on two cases and was able to get me the just outcome based on the evidence that he diligently collected. If you are looking for representation that is capable of evaluating your case and presenting to you the bes...t way to go about handling it, then he should be your go-to lawyer. He allows his clients to be active participants in their cases which I personally found to be commendable.

Excellent

Excellent service from start to finish. These are very serious charges you’re facing, and you need advice from people who know what they're doing. Charlie and his associates will give you frank, honest advice and they have the experience to resolve your case in the best possible manner. In my case Mr.... Fife was able to take the points charged against my case from 28 points to 8. an outcome that allowed me to keep my driving liecense after only 1 month

Charlie Fought for Me

I was facing an Assault charge. Charlie helped me navigate through it and I was able plead it down to a deferred judgment (probation). Mr. Fife has a great understanding of the law and fought hard for my interests. When a false, but more serious additional charge arose from the same incident, Cha...rlie immediately jumped into action to get that charge thrown out. He was always available to answer any questions I had regarding my case. Upon the end of my year of probation, Charlie help me to get my case dismissed and my record sealed. He was even able to convince the court to waive the record sealing fee.

Hands down the best representation that money can buy

On March 7, 2021 at 3 A.M. in downtown denver I was arrested and charged with Hit and run as well as a DUI. In my mind it seemed like a very clean cut open and close case in the states favor. I was certain that I would lose in court if I attempted to contest the charges. Upon being referred by a frie...nd to Charles Fife, I decided to seek consultation. Initially being very reluctant to retain his services due to price, I did so anyway. Not only did Mr. Fife start by winning my case against the DMV resulting in my license never being so much as suspended; none the less revoked. He preceeded to defend my case with such vigor and mastery of his craft, ultimately resulting in the charges being dropped and me walking away with a speeding charge and a minimal amount of community service. I highly recommend to anyone facing similar charges to seek out Mr Fife. He will go above and beyond to defend you and provide what in my opinion is the best legal representation money can buy in the state of Colorado.

"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."
