Facing a DWAI & criminal charge, Barry won the jury trial

I was pulled over for speeding and very questionably brought in for a breathalizer after roadside tests, resulting in a charge of DWAI. I did NOT want a criminal charge on my record and believed that there were many issues with how I was arrested and charged. However, my options were extremely limit...ed. Barry was an absolute life saver. Even when the DA made it absolutely clear over many months that they would not budge on my case and planned to take me to trial, Barry stood his ground. The entire time he was honest with his guidance, outlining all of our options. Our case resulted in an actual trial in front of a jury, which took place over 13 grueling hours. Curve balls were thrown at us left and right, including the state entering a "surprise" witness to try and refute my account and breath results. At the end of it all, my trial resulted in a NOT GUILTY verdict from the jury (and rightfully so). Barry won this case where many others would not have. Mr. Lancaster is an absolute professional and ensured that justice was served. I feel like a tremendous burden has been lifted off my back. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Charged with DUI with probation, faced loss of driver license and lifetime record in state of CO but Barry got it deferred

I was "questionably" pulled over for speeding and the officer wanted to conduct roadside tests because of his claim of smelling alcohol. I refused subjective roadside tests and agreed to blood alcohol test. Barry was very diligent at explaining our options for DUI charges and expected court proceedin...gs, which was very helpful since all of this was new to me. He successfully resolved my case to a deferred judgment decision and future dismissal after I complete community service and classes. The DUI charge was a tremendous life burden plus unchartered waters for me, Barry took the time and effort to support my concerns and won the deferred judgement on my behalf. I would highly recommend Barry for legal consultation and representation as a defense attorney!

Restraining Order

Being in the situation that I found myself in, Barry stepped up to the plate. Not only did he get my case dismissed with nothing on my record, he assured me that he would handle everything and anything that arose, and he did. I would recommend Barry to anyone. He truly did a tremendous job and I know... that if I am ever in need of a lawyer again Barry will be my first call.

The best attorney in Boulder/Denver - Beat my DUI

My situation was hopeless I was looking at 6 months in jail and was understandably depressed. Not only did Barry handel the case expertly and put in a lot of work (and ultimately won) but you could tell he genuinely cared about my well being. You won’t find a better attorney for criminal/DUI!

Great Lawyer! DUI - Case Dismissed!

I felt so hopeless after my DUI charge and didn’t think there was much that could be done. I didn’t want to go at it alone so I hired Mr. Lancaster. Barry was looking to get these charges dropped from the beginning. He is confident in the court room and very thourough. If there is something that can ...help your case, he will find it.
