Felony Criminal Defense
Hiring the right defense is crucial in your pursuit of freedom.

The first step is a discussion with our team about your vision for your future.
Misdemeanor Vs. Felony Charges
All crimes are not created equal. Misdemeanors are smaller and much less severe, though they still carry significant consequences. A felony is a much more serious charge as the seriousness of the crime committed in order for it to be considered a felony is usually severe. However, that’s not always the case. Sometimes, a simple error or technicality can change a minor or misdemeanor charge to a felony, and in cases like this, having the right legal counsel on your side can make a huge difference.
Why You Need to Hire a Colorado Springs Felony Criminal Defense Attorney
A felony charge is a serious matter that can have long-lasting consequences on your life. Convictions can result in severe penalties including lengthy prison or jail sentences, substantial fines, and a permanent criminal record that may negatively impact future employment, housing, the right to vote and own firearms, access to public assistance programs, and other future opportunities.
The criminal defense lawyers at Liberty Law Center will thoroughly review all evidence in your case and develop a strategic defense tailored to your specific needs. Our team will aggressively advocate for your rights in negotiating on your behalf and if necessary, take your case to trial.
Hiring Liberty Law Center will increase your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome such as reduced charges, alternative sentences, or even case dismissal.

I am so thankful I called Liberty Law Center. The amount of knowledge and dedication that comes from Valerie is next to none. She helped me understand the entire process. Made me feel like I was not alone. It took me 15-plus years to deal with my issue. Now as it gets resolved I have a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I owe it all to Valerie. Mr. Beck has put together an amazing team.

Divorce is never easy and mine was not. I hired Drake Larson due to the incompetence of another attorney so I was already distraught with the entire situation. Drake assured me he would get to the facts of my case and get control of the situation and figure out the best way to a fair outcome. To make a long story short after 10 months we finally went to the Judge today. Let me assure you that Mr. Larsen was confident, well-versed, prepared, and went above and beyond my expectations. To whoever is reading this take my advice and hire Drake Larsen if you need expert representation.

I am beyond thankful for this incredible group of people, especially Bill Beck and his awesome sidekick Valerie. They’ve been with me through the (year-long) court process at every step, and have provided nothing but compassion, clarity, guidance, support, and in the end, a big victory thanks to Mr. Beck’s above-and-beyond efforts. Do yourself a massive favor and hire this team!!

Drake Larson was a wonderful Lawyer. He is very knowledgeable in his field. If he didn't know the answer to some very off the wall situations, he would research and get back to me quickly. He was very professional but also personable. He made me feel comfortable and confident in my case and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Drake.

Valerie is amazing with follow up and always made us feel like we could call her about anything we had questions about or needed help with. Very professional team and we highly recommend Liberty Law Center!
