About:

James Stanley has over 30 years experience practicing criminal and DUI law. He has handled thousands of criminal and DUI cases and has conducted over 150 jury trials. Mr. Stanley is a former Colorado Senior Deputy District Attorney. He knows how to evaluate the merits of a criminal case, detect defects in police investigations, recognize when an individual's constitutional rights have been violated, discover procedural errors and make the right decisions on how to handle the case. These skills come from evaluating thousands of police investigations and preparing criminal and DUI cases for trial. If the police have crossed the line and in any way violated an individual's constitutional rights, Mr. Stanley knows how to recognize and uncover this, which can seriously hinder or completely prevent the government from prosecuting a case. Mr. Stanley, with his experience as a former senior prosecutor, has unique insight into what is involved with the decision making process and analysis of a criminal prosecution. He has insider knowledge and understanding of how the criminal justice system works and uses that knowledge to benefit his clients. Knowing how decision makers, the prosecutors and the judges, think and analyze a case provides a solid basis to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients. He has extensive experience with every category of criminal offense, from Murder in the First Degree to DUI. Mr. Stanley's experience is not limited to the law. In addition to his legal training and extensive courtroom experience, Mr. Stanley has a diverse background, equipping him for problem solving, case facts analysis and the ability to easily relate to his clients as well as his opponents in the courtroom.

Mountain Standard Time

"We hired Jim for a misdemeanor criminal case. I called 5 law firms and decided to go with Jim. I'm so glad I did! He was able to get the case dismissed! I believe Jim was able to successfully highlight to the District Attorney how unjust the whole situation was and how extenuating circumstances were enough to have the case dismissed. I can't recommend Mr. Stanley enough!"

"Mr. Jim Stanley did an amazing job with my case. He not only took the time to review everything but also communicated with me to make sure I knew what actions he was taking. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. He reviewed all aspects of the case and pointed out things that nobody else would have thought of. I am very grateful for his hard work. I highly recommend using Mr Stanley for your upcoming cases."

"Jim was so organized, and directed my partner and in the right direction to make progress for our court appearance. His communication was consistent and concise. I doubt the outcome would have been quite as successful without his expertise."
