"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!!

Acquitted!

Mr. Fife is an excellent lawyer! I have now used him twice for DUI cases and both times he successfully got me off. There is no one else I would use around here besides him and his firm. Completely professional and personable. Thanks again Mr. Fife!

getting back on the track

Charlie Fife, Thank you for listening and helping me to keep my world in order. From putting my case off until you acquired pertinent information to the point of facing the honorable judge. My dui was about to rip me apart inside. Even my employer had no axe to grind with me, proclaiming "I have not...hing to say about this. Nobody is better at beating you up as you are yourself!". When the Judge rendered down his decision I was left speechless. When asked if I had anything to say in my defense, I was choking and couldn't breath nor talk. That the Judge could see all that and understood the remorsefulness that kept me from talking was a miracle. You are a gentleman in my book Mr. Fife. Thank you for guiding me through a morning I'll never forget. thanks for getting my life back. Respectfully, Dennis. PS, call if your roof leaks. I'm handy about that stuff.

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!

Not Guilty!

Charles Fife is an amazing attorney. He was referred to me through a friend for my DUI charge. We turned down the offers by the state attorneys office and went to trial. Let me just say hes worth every penny!!!! What an incredible trial attorney!! I would recommend him to anyone!

"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."
