PRACTICE AREAS
DUI/DWAI
Everyone knows the phrase “Over the limit; under arrest”. But did you know that you can be charged with Driving Under the Influence for any substance? Marijuana, Controlled Substances, Medication prescribed by your doctor, or even over the counter alergy medication.
Christian Ryan knows the science behind DUI’s, knows the law, and has even taught Police Officers how to run a DUI investigation at Police Academies.
Traffic Offenses
Traffic Offenses in Colorado can be everything from a small infraction, to felonies with mandatory prison. In addition to fines, traffic offenses have “Points” that can hurt your insurance rates, employment, or even suspend your drivers license. Some traffic charges can even carry hefty jail time.
It’s important to have representation who knows the law, and can make sure you understand each unique charge and the possibile penalties.
Juvenile Defense
In Colorado, a child is subject to the Juvenile Courts from age 10 through their 18th birthday. Juvenile Courts do not operate like adult criminal courts. They have their own specialized rules and procedures, vastly different potential penalties, and potential collateral consequences with school or college admission.
The Juvenile system is intended to be rehabilitative, not punitive. Christian Ryan has extensive experience in the busiest Juvenile Courtrooms in Colorado. He has even taught Juvenile Code to hundreds of Police Officers throughout Colorado.
Your child deserves the best representation, and Ryan Law L.L.C. can deliver that for their future.
Domestic Violence Cases
In Colorado, Domestic Violence allegations are mandatory arrest. Even if your partner does not want charges, the law gives officers no choice.
If you are charged with an act of Domestic Violence, you will be arrested and held without bond until a Judge sees you. The Judge will issue a Mandatory Protection Order that will prohibit you from contacting your partner, returning home, consuming alcohol, or posessing firearms.
The sooner you retain counsel, the better in Domestic Violence Cases. Ryan Law L.L.C. can even represent you for a weekend bond hearing.
Theft/Property Crimes
Theft and most property crimes are charged based upon the value of the property damaged or taken. This can range from petty offenses, to serious felonies. These charges can have penalties ranging from fines up to extensive prison time. The evidence in these cases can be simple, or extremely complex. Christian Ryan has experience with these cases at all levels, and can help with your case today.
Drug Offenses
From small personal consumption, to large trafficking organizations the Law in Colorado on controlled substances is rapidly evolving. Marijuana, for example, is legal by Colorado Statute, but still Federally illegal. This means marijuana can still result in charges on many ski resorts, airports, Federal Public Lands, Military Installations, and more.
Addiction is an every day journey to recovery, and Ryan Law L.L.C. can represent your legal rights while you focus on your health and progress.
Parks and Wildlife Offenses
Did you know that Hunting, Fishing, and off-roading are considered privileges in all 50 states? Colorado Parks and Wildlife employs a “Point” system much like the DMV, and outdoor recreation violations could potentially result in Nationwide suspensions or permanent bans from the outdoor activities you love.
And more!
Everyone’s situation is different, every case is different. Every charge has unique possible penalties and you deserve an attorney who will take the time to ensure you know all your rights, your options, and the best path forward.
