Captain

Retaining Charlie Fife was the best decision I could have possibly made. I only wished i had retained him months earlier. His contact information will be in my wallet and in my phone as well as each of my family members for the duration of time. He answered the phone on a Sunday afternoon and becau...se i followed his instructions to the letter I was completely exonerated. I will Thank him for his great representation and service for a long time to come. I will recommend him to every one i care about.

Excellent legal defense

Charlie Fife is an excellent attorney. He came on high recommendation of friends familiar with the importance of hiring not just competent but experienced and committed legal defense and representation. After I was sorely disappointed with the results of another "run-of-the-mill" legal firm who tou...t their so-called credentials but happily left me with a joke of a plea offer, I contacted Charles who almost immediately reassured me he could help... and he did not disappoint! Charlie gave my case the time and consideration it deserved and implemented every tactical legal advantage available to not only eliminate jail-time off-hand from a 6-point speeding ticket, but also worked to negotiate in seriously reducing the penalty involved. Respect, results and follow-through... lawyers don’t get much better! Thank you, Charlie.

The most amazing attorney money can buy

I have hired Mr. Fife on 2 different occasions for very serious felony cases, distribution and manufacturing where I was facing up to 12 years and a major indictment with felonies in the triple digits and here I sit today, free, CLEAN! and very thankful! My 19 months drug free is the longest I have ...been clean since I started at the age 14 and I can thank Charlie for his amazing ability to identify with me and inspire me to do better every single day I have outside the walls of prison. He firmly lays down the law with drug addicts like me and getting them treatment which is what I got the opportunity to experience. When the DA was hell bent on locking me up and throwing away the key Charlie stepped in and shut them down and I received the best gift in this world, HELP! Through out the last 3 years he has been my biggest supporter and has always been there when I needed him NO MATTER WHAT. I will recommend him to ANY person going through legal issues forever. He is my hero and my family is so thankful I found him because my mom has her daughter back and my grandma gets to spend her last years with her granddaughter after they both missed her for over a decade! THANK YOU CHARLIE! YOU ARE AN ANGEL!

The Best Attorney in Colorado!!!

I am a current client of Mr. Charles Fife. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty in all areas of my case! I currently won a case in which an extremely small fraction of people ever win! He is always prompt in returning my messages and made himself available whenever I needed him! Mr. Fife and... his staff are extremely friendly and professional. I am very happy and proud to have had such an amazing attorney such as Mr. Fife! I highly recommend him for all of your legal needs! You won't be disappointed!

This is the kind of lawyer you need

Charlie Fife was very honest, talented, and aggressive. He was able to win the DMV Hearing (on the appeal). He got the arresting officer to admit he was wrong in asking for a blood test. As we prepared for trial, Charles was confident the entire time that we would have a positive outcome. By filing ...motions, he was able to show the DA that we would most likely win a trial. DUID reduced to reckless driving. I received very low fines and a class, no probation. All of my calls and emails were returned quickly. The fees charged by Charles Fife are more than worth it. He works hard for everything you give him. I told him what I wanted and he made it happen. You couldn't ask for a better lawyer.

"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."
