Aspen Criminal Defense - When Life Interrupts Your Getaway

Whether you’re passing through for a long-awaited vacation or have called Aspen home for years, our valley can often feel like an escape from the world. Sadly, real life sometimes catches up in unexpected ways. A single evening out, a misunderstanding, or a fleeting lapse in judgment can quickly lead to serious criminal allegations—misdemeanors or felonies alike—that threaten your future.

Fines, potential jail time, and the stain of a permanent record can all seem overwhelming—especially in a town where everyone seems to know everyone else’s business. My priority is straightforward: protect your rights, respect your story, and guide you toward the best possible outcome.

Aspen might be known worldwide, but it’s still a tight-knit community. Judges, prosecutors, and court staff have perspectives shaped by our unique environment.
