Finding a Denver Lawyer just got easier!Attorney Search

The new website “Attorney Search” provides Denver citizens a more efficient way to find a Denver Lawyer for your legal needs.  Only specialized attorneys can be members of the website and all members must have at least 5 years of legal practice experience.  Not only is the website a great source for finding Denver Attorneys or a Denver Law Firm, it is FREE to use as well!

How it Works

The website could not be any easier to use!  All you need to do is visit the website (www.coloradoattorneysearch.com) and on the right sidebar you will found two search boxes.  One is for your zip code to ensure you are matched with an attorney that is close to you, the second is for the area of law or legal need you have.  That’s it!  The site does the rest.

In a matter of seconds you will be matched with a Denver Lawyer that specializes in your legal need who is relatively close to your residence.  You will be provided with a few choices, their full bio along with links to their website if you want to further research them.  Again, all of the attorney members of the site have been verified and passed all requirements to be on the site.

Have I mentioned the FREE consultation all attorney members are required to provide yet?  Yep, that’s right!  All attorney members of this great site provide a FREE consultation so you are given the opportunity to get to know the lawyer and how they handle their routine.  If you do not like them you haven’t lost anything really and you can get matched up with another attorney from the site.

What are you waiting for?  Find your attorney today!

Criminal Defense Attorneys – Why You Need One

August 12th, 2009 admin No comments

Criminal law brings the force of the state, with all of its resources, to bear against the individual.  Criminal procedures are designed to protect the constitutional rights of individuals and to prevent the arbitrary use of power on the part of the government.  The U.S. Constitution provides specific safeguards for those accused of crimes.  The United States Supreme Court has ruled that most of these safeguards apply not only in federal but also in state courts by virtue of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.  These safeguards include the following:

  • The Fourth Amendment protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.
  • The Fourth Amendment requirement that no warrant for a search or an arrest be issued without probable cause.
  • The Fifth Amendment requirement that no one be deprived of “life, liberty or property without due process of law.”
  • The Fifth Amendment prohibition against double jeopardy.
  • The Fifth Amendment requirement that no person be compelled to self incrimination.
  • The Sixth Amendment guarantees of a speedy trial, a trial by jury, a public trial, the right to confront witnesses and the right to a lawyer at various stages in some proceedings.

The Eighth Amendment prohibitions against excessive bail and fines and cruel and unusual punishment.
Remember that in a criminal case, jail and/or prison sentences are a distinct possibility. You need an expert criminal defense attorney to help interpret and enforce your rights.

Why Is It Difficult to Find an Attorney?

August 12th, 2009 admin No comments

It is true that lawyer advertising has made it easier to find an attorney. However, there is still a problem in finding the right attorney for one’s particular needs. If the selected lawyer is inexperienced, incompetent, or lacks the willingness or ability to communicate effectively with a client, the client will not be satisfied with the lawyer’s service. Furthermore, the consequences for the client could be catastrophic, such as losing a business or being unable to recover for injuries the client sustained at the hands of a liable third party. In order to find the best attorney, one needs more than a list of names, even if these are specialists in the relevant legal area. Clients are best served by asking questions before they decide on an attorney to retain.
