I was charged with a hit and run and was coerced by a detective into submitting a written "confession". Charlie got me off with a single appearance in court, charges brought down to careless driving and a few hours of community service; he took care of the entire case quickly and turned what would'v...e been a painful, exhausting and expensive situation into a breeze. I spoke with several other attorneys that charged slightly less but told me that there wasn't a whole lot they could do to help me except hopefully reduce points on my license; they also told me I would have to appear several times in court. At the time, I was living out of state and would have had to fly from NY back to CO at least twice to get this finished. Charlie saved me a lot of time, headaches and, most importantly, a lot of money! Highly recommended!

I was in a very minor accident and I wanted to go with the public defender but my family wanted me to hire a lawyer. Never listen to your mother in law because I ended up with the worst case and a gigantic bill. Why spend the money but I wrote a check to keep the peace not that I got any. Anyway... what happened was I wasn't guilty but the officer made me look that way because there was an accident. The accident wasn't my fault but like I said the officer acted like it was my fault and I was drunk. I was drinking water all night my buddy ordered me a beer and it sat there. No evidence I did a single thing wrong so how hard can it be to prove I'm innocent? To beat this there was a ton of evidence but this lawyer didn't use it. A room full of people who saw me leave one beer on the table all night. So they're all in a bar a lot of them don't drink either and they're all good people. When I play pool I drink water and how about no bar tab to prove I wasn't drinking. Sure I had a beer, I had a beer on the table how does that make me a drunk. I was drinking water. The water kept getting lower and the beer stayed the same. The bar has video cameras and that video proves I was drinking water. How hard is it to show it to the judge. Make the jury watch a four hour movie of me drinking water. Well we lost and I still can't believe it. I hired a lawyer and he was either too busy too lazy too sure of himself or all of the above. We don't have to prove you're innocent, they have to prove you're guilty sounds like I am not going to spend time on your case now that your check is in my bank. All he had to do was get that video. So I'm in a bar, bars are legal to be in. Some people go there to play pool, being in a bar doen't mean you drink and it doesn't look bad it looks good when the video camera proves you're innocent. The public defender would have got that video because it's evidence and it's his job.

Charles Fife was referred to me by a good friend. He has help 3 different acquaintances with serious traffic issues and had positive results. I first hired him for a speeding 25 over/unsafe lane change charge (like 12 point ticket) I missed the court date and got a default judgment. I filled out som...e form to see the DA in order to cop a plea and was turned down. I hired Fife and soon after the case was dismissed. In July 2010 I was stopped for DUI. I called Fife asap to consult. I was facing guaranteed jail time, hefty fines, alcohol classes (tons), no license for 2 years and interlock for a year. Fife took the case to trial and with absolutely nothing in my favor he argued my case. The jury was hung which means they couldn’t all decide “beyond a reasonable doubt” that I was guilty of DUI or DWAI so we had to have a new trial.(at absolutely no additional cost to me, per his fee agreement) Before the new trial the DA offered me a reckless driving and completely dropped any alcohol related offense. I now have his number on speed dial and I tell everyone I can think of my account.

Charles Fife is the best, case closed! My case was complex and I think Mr. Fife enjoyed the challenge. He worked on it for 6 years without asking for another penny and the result for me was a dismissal. Mr. Fife’s quick thinking in court and tenacity throughout this process was the difference b...etween a record and a fresh start. If you want the best possible outcome then you need the best attorney on your side, you cannot do better than Charles Fife.

I spoke with 5 attorneys regarding my DV case prior to walking into Charlie's office. After speaking with him, it was evident that he was passionate about his work and he cared about my situation. He was always available to talk to me regardless of the fact that he was charging a flat fee. Gunslinger...s don't charge by the bullet! I don't plan to need him again, but I will recommend him to anyone in a pinch.
