Criminal Investigations in Fort Collins, CO

Also Serving Clients in Denver & Surrounding areas

Quiet and swift, a criminal investigation can catch you off guard; turning your life upside down in the blink of an eye.  Law enforcement will often want to speak with you to get “your side of the story” and lead you to believe they are on your side. It is critical to secure competent and aggressive legal counsel prior to communicating with law enforcement about any allegations; even those without merit. Law enforcement may attempt to contact you directly or use the allege victim to contact you via phone or text in what’s known as a “pre-text” communication, to lure you into apologizing for alleged criminal conduct or admitting guilt. 

As soon as you become aware of a criminal investigation, contact Rachel A. Michael, LLC to schedule a complimentary consultation with our Criminal Defense Team to discuss your options.
