Results Oriented!

Charles Fife is an incredible and highly skilled attorney who was referred to me by friends, he explained the entire legal process detailing expectations and preparing me throughout the legal process! He also prepared me for possible outcomes but assured me that he would do everything he could do....... and he did just that. His expertise and attention to detail is evident as well as genuine concern for his clients. I highly recommend Charles Fife as he is an expert in the law and will yield results. Thank-you very much!

EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Charles Fife was not only professional in every aspect of my case, but he truly cared about my safety and well-being after my accident. He delivered exceptional customer service and his knowledge of the law was beyond my expectations. Charles Lorin Fife you are simply AMAZING!!!

Greatly Eased my Worrisome Matter from Beginning to End

Charlie Fife is both gentle and firm, and most importantly very wise with navigating the judicial system to his client's great advantage. I suspect that his negotiation skills are unmatched in the area. When it served me best, he sent his partner Danny. When that failed to yield desired negotiatio...n, we prepared for trial, but it wasn't necessary. The threat of going to trial sufficed. I did not lose my license. My outcome was way better than anyone suspected. I am VERY happy and recommend his firm highly.

A truly superb attorney

Mr. Fife represented me in a particularly sensitive case. The expertise and aptitude with which he handled my DMV hearing was impeccable. His relentless cross-examination of the law enforcement officer was skillfully executed, and as a result, we won the action taken by the Colorado Department of Rev...enue under the express consent statute concerning revocation of my driving privileges. This meant I was able to retain my full driving privileges, and reinstate my driver’s license. This also meant I was not forced to obtain high-risk SR22 insurance, and furthermore, I was not forced to put an interlock system in my car (which would have been enforced for two years). Beside the shame and embarrassment this prevented me, this victory also saved me thousands of dollars. For those who are unaware of the system, being charged with a DUI is a serious matter that should NOT be taken lightly. This is a multifaceted issue that takes experience and wisdom to yield any success, and that is what Charlie Fife brings to the table. Mr. Fife’s reputation speaks for itself, however, his exemplary strategy and knowledge of the law sets him lightyears beyond any standard counselor. Charlie, thank you for being dedicated, intelligent, and for being a master of your craft. In efforts to express my gratitude, I feel that saying thank you is hardly enough. Words do not adequately express how highly I recommend Charlie Fife. Don't hesitate to hire him if you find yourself facing this difficult situation in your own life, or if you're looking for representation for your friends and loved ones.

"Oppression" relieved! Happy beyond words!

I was very thankful for Mr. Fife's willingness to represent me on short notice. When I was referred to him at an earlier stage, he was so kind as to give me a piece of free advice. Mr. Fife is personable and humorous but most importantly, he is one awesome knowledgeable Criminal Lawyer, with commandi...ng negotiation skills. He represented me and talked to the D.A. whereby reducing my charge to a much fairer "infraction". I could not have made it with such flying colors without his excellent involvement! I am forever grateful to have had Mr. Fife as my 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."
