Facing a criminal charge is often an overwhelming experience, no matter if the charge is a misdemeanor or felony.

Frequently, the prosecutor will seek significant ramifications for both felony and misdemeanor charges.

Understanding the Arrest Process for Felony & Misdemeanors in Colorado

One of the most important things to remember after you are charged or arrested for a crime is your right to remain silent. It is wise to consider the possible implications of making a statement to the authorities. Substantial legal implications come with making a false statement to the authorities; therefore, you are better off remaining silent in nearly every situation.

If you’ve been charged with a crime, it’s wise to do the following:

Be very selective about who you speak to regarding your case—even family members can be forced to testify against you
Do not post anything about your case on any social media website
Do not incriminate yourself!

If you have been arrested for a crime, you must contact a Boulder felony attorney or misdemeanor attorney who can evaluate your specific situation and advise you on the right course of legal action for your unique case. Barre M. Sakol, P.C. has been fighting for the rights of the accused since 1980, offering sound legal counsel and outstanding representation at every step.

Felony & Misdemeanor FAQs

Both felony and misdemeanor charges carry with them serious, long-lasting consequences. Enlisting the assistance of an experienced defense attorney in Boulder is merely the first step in an often lengthy defense process. At Barre M. Sakol, P.C., we are committed to keeping our clients informed and helping you understand what you can expect in the upcoming weeks, months, and even years.

Some of the most common questions that people ask when they have been arrested for a felony or misdemeanor offense include:

Am I going to jail? Whether a conviction for a crime carries jail time depends on the severity of the crime and a defendant's criminal history. A defense attorney plays an essential role in the legal process for those accused of criminal offenses. Your lawyer will fight for you to stay out of jail or prison, and they will negotiate the best possible deal on your behalf.
What will a criminal conviction do to my future? Being convicted of a felony or misdemeanor can derail your life. While your life will not be ruined, recovering and reestablishing yourself professionally and socially can be extremely challenging. If you were convicted of a felony, you would lose access to your 2A rights or careers in law enforcement and some areas of healthcare.
Do I need an attorney? Every accused individual has a right to be represented and defended. A defense attorney's job isn't to prove your innocence but highlight how the government hasn't proved its case. Defense attorneys also stand between their clients and the state to prevent abuses of power.
How much will an attorney cost? The cost of an attorney varies. An interested party would need to consult with an attorney with experience in the practice area needed.
Will I be able to get a job? Colorado provides ban-the-box protection for workers with a criminal record seeking employment. The state also prohibits background checks beyond seven years.
For Coloradans with a criminal record, some jobs may be unattainable. Jobs in public health & safety, education, law enforcement, or the legal field are not allowed.
