Being charged with a crime can turn your world upside down. You may feel uncertain, fearful, and overwhelmed by a system you never expected to face. However, a criminal charge does not automatically lead to a conviction. You still have rights and options. An experienced Colorado Springs criminal defense attorney can guide you through the legal process and aggressively defend your case, striving to have your charges reduced or even dismissed.
At The Law Office of Andrew Bryant, we prioritize protecting your Constitutional rights. Our legal professionals understand how to build a powerful defense strategy so you can pursue the most favorable outcome possible.
One reason Andrew Bryant has achieved success defending clients is the perspective he gained as a former prosecutor. He has first-hand insight into how the State builds cases, which strategies they favor, and how they aim to secure convictions.
Why does this matter for you? Because Mr. Bryant can anticipate prosecutorial tactics and prepare an approach to undermine their arguments before they ever reach the courtroom. His previous work as a prosecutor also means he has developed professional relationships with the judges and attorneys you might face. That can be a huge advantage when negotiating plea deals or arguing for more lenient outcomes.
Each criminal charge is unique, but most cases in El Paso County follow a similar series of events. Below is a general overview of what you can expect:
If law enforcement has probable cause to believe you have committed a crime, they may arrest you on the spot or obtain a warrant.
After your arrest, you will be taken for booking. This process typically includes being searched, photographed, and fingerprinted before you are placed in holding.
You have a right to be informed of your charges. During this stage, bail may be set (if it was not determined earlier). Bail is designed to ensure you appear at future court dates.
Prior to trial, both sides gather evidence and craft legal strategies. During this time, your Colorado Springs criminal defense attorney can negotiate with the prosecution. These discussions may lead to a plea agreement—often involving reduced charges or sentences—in exchange for a guilty plea. Always consult with a defense attorney before accepting any deal.
If no deal is reached, your case proceeds to trial. The prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. A judge or jury will then deliver a verdict of guilty or not guilty.
If convicted, a judge will issue a sentence, which could range from fines or probation to significant prison time, depending on the offense and circumstances.
Even after a conviction, you have the right to appeal if you believe errors occurred during the trial process.
An arrest will appear on your record. However, if you are not convicted, you may be able to have that record sealed. If you are convicted, that record could follow you indefinitely, making it harder to find employment or housing.
The Law Office of Andrew Bryant represents clients facing a wide variety of criminal allegations, including (but not limited to):
One of the most damaging mistakes defendants make is assuming there is nothing they can do or that the system will automatically correct any injustice. The reality is that mistakes happen—evidence can be mishandled, rights can be violated, and cases can be built on shaky grounds. It is important to have a dedicated Colorado Springs criminal defense attorney scrutinize every detail and safeguard your rights at each juncture.
No matter how serious the charge or how strong the evidence may seem, remember that the prosecution bears the burden of proving every element of the case beyond a reasonable doubt. Andrew Bryant and his team know how to capitalize on any procedural or evidentiary misstep that could weaken the State’s argument.
