Violent Crimes

If you have been charged with a crime, or if you think that you may be, you need to speak with a criminal defense attorney immediately. Protecting your rights is incredibly important, so you need to make sure that you have someone by your side who thoroughly understands how to protect you. Investigators and prosecutors treat different crimes differently, of course, so it is also important that your attorney is familiar with the different methods that will be used, and can adapt defense strategies accordingly. Alaurice Tafoya-Modi has worked with people accused of criminal offenses throughout her career, dating back to her days in the Denver Public Defender’s Office. As such, she has worked with people accused of all kinds of crimes, has watched the way investigators and prosecutors worked, and understands how to tailor her defense strategy not only to the details of the case, but to the strategies that police and prosecutors will use as well.

Charges of Violent Crimes

If you have been charged with any violent crime, the consequences for conviction can be severe. In many cases, violent crimes are prosecuted extremely aggressively, and you need an attorney who will defend you equally aggressively. Everyone charged with a crime in Denver or anywhere in the United States has the right to aggressive, zealous defense, regardless of the nature of the charge. As a Denver criminal defense lawyer, Mrs. Tafoya-Modi has handled charges of various violent crimes, including:

• Assault

• Sexual Assault

• Robbery

• Murder

• Domestic Violence

• Child Abuse

Protecting Your Rights

Each of these charges can ruin your life, with the potential for very serious long-term consequences. While each of these charges requires a different defense strategy, there are common threads. Mrs. Tafoya-Modi has experience defending all of these charges; she understands how investigators will attempt to find evidence and how prosecutors will attempt to use that evidence. More importantly, she understands how to highlight holes in the evidence and uncover new evidence to create reasonable doubt in the minds of jurors. Perhaps most importantly, Mrs. Tafoya-Modi understands that anyone can find him- or herself in a bad situation; she knows that being charged with a crime does not automatically indicate guilt, and has compassion for and genuinely cares about the effect that criminal charges have on the lives of her clients.
