“I got one number on the first call and the last invoice was that number. Teodor went through the breath test records with me on a video call from my truck between jobs.”

Clients
The invoice matched the quote
“The motion on the search is what ended my son's case. We never had to take a day off work to drive to Denver for a meeting.”
Ruth M.Parent of a client
“Sealing my record took one call, a signature and a short hearing. They told me before I signed that the filing fee was separate, and what it was.”
Jae P.Record sealing
Shared by past clients with their permission. Every case turns on its own facts, and these don't predict how yours will go.
Questions
Before you sign a flat-fee agreement
What if my case goes to trial?
The flat fee runs until a plea, a dismissal or a trial date. If a trial is set, we quote the trial as a second flat fee, in writing, and you decide then whether to go ahead with us.
Do I have to come to Denver?
No. We meet by video wherever you are in Colorado or Wyoming, and many court dates can be handled remotely. When a court wants you there in person, one of us stands next to you.
Why are there two phone numbers?
One is for Colorado cases and one for Wyoming. Both reach the same three lawyers; the number you call tells us which state's courts and rules to start from.
What isn't in the fee?
Money that goes to someone else: court filing fees, lab retests, expert witnesses, transcripts and bond. We name each cost and its amount before it's spent.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Each fee is split into two to four payments on dates written into the agreement before you sign it.
