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.

10 Stars

When faced with a 3rd DUI charge, Charles kept me out of jail and got the charge dismissed to a reckless driving. I would give him 10 stars if I could. He saved me THOUSANDS on insurance costs by keeping alcohol charge off of my record

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."
