Criminal defense attorneys in Golden, Colorado

"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!"

"Very recently our family needed the services of a competent lawyer. Mr. Jim Stanley offered such services. Mr. Stanley was in constant contact with us regarding our case. If we ever needed clarification regarding our case, Mr. Stanley returned our phone calls right away. He was diligent in his effort to connect with the DA in this case. It was through his persistence that he was able to speak to the DA who did not always respond to Mr. Stanley's calls. He persevered, and after four re-schedules of our case, Mr. Stanley succeeded. He was able to get the best outcome for our son and we are pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Mr. Stanley in times of family crisis. This event has been difficult for our entire family but Mr. Stanley persevered and got us the best outcome for our son. Do not hesitate if you or a friend need the competent services of an experienced lawyer. You will be glad you chose Mr. Stanley. I know our family did. Most sincerely, Susan S. Colvin"

"Jim was excellent! Always pleasant to interact with and very clear to communicate with. I think he got me the best outcome imaginable for my challenging situation. From what I heard in group discussions when other people talked about their lawyers it seems that mine was way better in every way. I honestly think he is the best lawyer available in this area. He gave me a list of preliminary actions to take that helped my case a whole lot and he did a practice conversation with me about what it would be like to talk with the judge. He even gave me feedback that boosted my confidence! I couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you so much Jim!!!"

"BEST! You're the most blessed and luckiest person ever to find Mr. Jim Stanley. ↓↓↓↓ At first, I have spoken few attorneys before contacting Mr. Stanley. He was the only person who showed me sympathy, was sincere and willing to help me. Just from the initial conversation, my gut was telling me that Mr. Stanley will help me. He is very understanding, competent, knowledgeable and respectable attorney. He has great communication, very responsive and answered all of my worries and questions. My case could not have been in any better hands than Mr. Stanley. No words can express my gratitude towards Mr. Stanley. I had a very difficult criminal case. I thought it would be a best possible outcome if I pleaded guilty and possibly have my record sealed in down the road. However, Mr. Stanley worked so hard on my case and was able to achieve such an amazing result. He identified my hardships and circumstances and presented a comprehensive mitigation argument for the DA. In fact, my case will be dropped and sealed in a very short period of time and I don't have to enter any type of plea once my case is completed, and I would not have any conviction at the end. I still can not believe that this is real. I am so so grateful to Mr. Stanley for saving me and giving me a second chance in this life. I highly highly recommend Mr. Stanley !"

"Words cannot express how truly pleased I am after working with Jim. I came to him with a DUI charge and after months of tireless, detailed work, Jim was able to get the charges down to reckless driving—an extremely rare outcome in Jefferson County. When all this started, it was important to me to hire an attorney who saw me not just as another paycheck, but as an individual with a unique case. I had called several other attorneys, but it was only after speaking with James that I felt seen and heard. He asked very detailed questions, and I never felt judged for bringing an unfortunate situation to him—it truly felt like he wanted to help me and that he saw me as more than my charges. When we first spoke, he told me he couldn't guarantee a win, but he could guarantee the best possible outcome. It was this sentiment that really made me want to work with him; he said promising a guaranteed win was a truly immoral thing to say to a client—despite all his accolades and years of experience, it was that sentiment that solidified him as a good man. How true his sentiment was. I firmly believe I couldn't have gotten the outcome I did without Jim. He was there for me every step of the way and constantly kept me updated with what he was doing and the status of my case. He repeatedly kept in contact with the prosecutor assigned to my case, he cross-examined the police officer during one hearing so well that he was able to catch the officer in a lie and as a result kept repeatedly contacting police supervisors over such deception. Everything he did was integral to the outcome—he left no detail unexamined, and he did it all with humility and confidence and great great care. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James Stanley to others. He is a phenomenally talented lawyer and an even greater man. I am so thankful for the outcome—I will never be able to fully express my gratitude for his work."
