An Attorney That Wins!

The law office of Fife Luneau, P.C. puts your situation first. They have the expetise and experience to win your case. Attorney Fife won the action taken by the Colorado Department of Revenue under the express consent statute concerning a one year revocation of my driving privileges. An extremely sm...all fraction of the people who refuse to take a test retain their privilege to drive. I was not required to file an SR-22 which would have caused my insurance to double for at least five years with most insurance companies. The action my attorney took saved me a tremendous amount of money and anxiety. I highly recommend the law firm of Fife Luneau.

Awesome Lawyer

I came to Charlie for legal advice on my case before making a decision taking him on as my lawyer. He was very professional, straight forward and didn't make me feel discouraged about my situation. He gave me insight on my case, and that day took him on as my lawyer. So far he has won my DMV case, wh...ich I was very grateful for and did not have high expectations about the DMV dismissing my case. Charlie is very responsive, and worked with a payment plan. I will definitely refer him to anyone that is In need of a PROFESSIONAL LAWYER.

Hire the best DUI Attorney, and Charlie is the man for the job!

Charlie was my attorney in a very high profile case. From the first meeting he was eager to take the case and fight for my side and my livelihood. Without his ability to make this bad situation go away I'd be up the creek. With his council I'm able to get back to work, back to my hobbies and live aga...in. From the get go I knew what I'd be paying and it's certainly true, you get what you pay for. He was able to get the situation to go away like it didn't ever happen with the DMV. Not an easy task with those hearing officers. So if you are in need of a Bull, hire Charlie!

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.

"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."
