Colorado Criminal Defense Attorney
It could be a horror movie subtitle - In jail, no one can hear you scream.
We perform when the stakes are high and the odds are sometimes long.
Good people with honorable intentions unfortunately may need to seek representation and defense against allegations of criminal activity. The American judicial system, unlike many others, provides that a person is presumed innocent unless and until the government can prove its allegation beyond a reasonable doubt. If you or someone you love faces a criminal charge, you need someone on your side.
When you have been accused of a criminal offense, you want a lawyer with real-life courtroom experience. For all cases ranging from misdemeanors to homicide, we provide a zealous defense.
We believe that the case against our client should be dismissed with an apology. Often, we do not insist on the apology. Otherwise, we require the government to establish criminal liability beyond a reasonable doubt. We assert affirmative defenses - an excuse for the allegedly criminal act. When a conviction happens or is likely to happen, we work to reduce the consequences. We want our clients out of the system as quickly as possible with the least sanction.
When you have been accused of a white collar crime, you want a lawyer with real-life business experience. Having worked as a CPA for fifteen years, before founding his own law practice, attorney Edward Levy knows both. White collar crimes occupy a very specific niche of criminal law. Effective white collar crime defense requires both trial experience and an extensive financial background. Attorney Edward Levy has both.
Have you been accused of identity theft, embezzlement, or forgery? The penalties for personal financial crimes are high, but we can help.
Economic crime charges, such as mortgage fraud, leave individuals struggling to regain control of their lives. They may lose their job and a significant portion of their personal or business assets. If convicted, they may face decades of prison time and heavy fines. At the Denver law offices of Edward Levy, P.C., we represent company employees, CPAs, insurance brokers and others charged with economic crimes. We protect their rights in court and strive to minimize the criminal penalties.
We determine whether there is significant evidence, and if that evidence was obtained legally. After the initial discovery period, we attempt to negotiate a dismissal or plea bargain with prosecutors to help avoid going to trial. However, if trial is in our client's best interest, we will zealously protect their rights in court.
