Re: A Lie

If he does not presently qualify for the Public Defender, call the CO Bar Association and ask for list of criminal defense lawyers who do pro bono work. Solicit the opinion of three of them. Good luck. Remember, prior felonies enhance the sentence on current felonies, so don't expect too much.

Re: A Lie

If he needs a lawyer for free, we already provide that through the public defender. Apply there. Also, alot of us (including me) take cases where we are appointed because the public defender has a conflict of interest. HOW to apply: he can contact the public defender from jail. If he is no longer in jail, take a bus to their office.
