When you have been charged with a crime and ordered to appear in court, it can be intimidating or maybe just overwhelming. This is a normal reaction. The entire experience is foreign to someone not familiar with the court system. You do not know what to expect. You do not know the court customs, the unwritten rules, the judges or the court staff.
When you have been charged with a crime, accused of a crime or even under investigation for of a crime, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, you should retain an experienced criminal defense attorney to protect your rights and build the best possible defense. A criminal arrest is entered in a national data base and your record could stay with you the rest of your life.
As you know, it is common for folks to drink alcohol in moderation and then drive. It is against the law to drink too much and drive. When you are stopped for a DUI, there are many difficult decisions you must make that you are not prepared to make. Should I answer the officer's question, have you been drinking?

I had to hire Mr. Stanley for a case that wasn't in my favor at all. He was very cooperative and constantly gave me suggestions on what to do. Some of those I put off to the side for the time being but then I finally did what I was asked to do, and wow it helped me! Mr. Stanley was able to get the best possible outcome for my case without having to go to trial! I couldn't thank him enough. If you are looking to hire a criminal defense lawyer, hire James Stanley!

Excellent attorney. Very diligent and is in constant communication with his clients as well as prosecution. He definitely was able to achieve the best possible outcome with my case and I would recommend to anyone. Hopefully I no longer need his services, but if I do I will be using Jim Stanley, without question.

Jim Stanley provided phenomenal representation for my son on multiple DUI/DWAI-related cases in two different counties. We were overwhelmed but from the time we contacted him, he expertly guided us through the process by telling us exactly what we should do every step of the way. He was always straight with us in letting us know the best and worst-case scenarios and what we needed to do for the best chance at a positive outcome. His persistent contact with prosecutors to inform them of everything my son was doing to exceed requirements, and his organization and presentation of all documentation

After researching a bunch of attorneys in the Denver area, I decided to go with Jim Stanley. I was charged with a DUI and careless driving. I also provided the officers a blood sample, which was no doubt going to be a high level. In the state of Colorado, a high blood alcohol level means I was facing a mandatory jail sentence. While it looked like all the evidence was against me, Jim was very attentive and methodical with my case. He filed all motions in time and also did not make me fly to Denver a single time, since I live in NY state. He is extremely hard working and was able to put an amazing

When unexpected charges were brought against my husband, we sought Mr. Stanley's legal counsel based on positive reviews and outcomes of others. We are so glad we did! From the beginning, we felt that Mr. Stanley truly cared about the situation at hand. He was personal, worked diligently, and maintained exceptional communication throughout the process. Best of all, he achieved an exceptional outcome with all charges being deferred, then dropped completely. We can't thank Mr. Stanley enough for our re-gained peace of mind. We highly recommend Mr. Stanley!

Mr. Stanley did an excellent job when he represented me. He kept me informed and responded to my inquiries in a timely manner. His knowledge of the justice system, opposing counsel and law enforcement seemed to make all the difference in his ability to quickly resolve my case through a complete dismissal of the charges against me. I am very grateful for his hard work and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

A Credit to the Profession of Law
We wish to extend our gratitude and respect for your service to our son. I have no doubt that things could have been quite different without your professionalism, dedication, and your extensive involvement with this court case. I do know our son is feeling a great deal of relief and when I saw him on his way to work this morning, I knew it was probably the first night of restful sleep he has experienced in some time. Mr. Stanley, we realize how much you gave to this case, and I will always hold you in the highest esteem. You truly are a credit to the profession

We interviewed several lawyers and Mr. James Stanley is the one who we feel comfortable and trust! We also feel that he is very compassionate and has a good soul! He is very thorough and hard working, communicating with us very often and very responsive. He did an awesome job to
