Criminal Defense Attorney Based in
Boulder, Colorado
If you or a loved one has been investigated, contacted, or are even concerned that you are a target, or otherwise involved, in a criminal investigation, arrested, threatened with arrest, or given a card from law enforcement with instructions to call, or a message that law enforcement will be in touch, CALL US IMMEDIATELY. Whether the investigation involves any type of drug, including everything from cannabis to Delta 8 THC to heroin and MDMA, you need and deserve a former judge and diligent criminal defense attorney along with his law firm to protect your rights.
The impact of a potential case may range from asset forfeiture to arrest to interrogation. All must be addressed immediately and NOT by you or anyone else beyond your lawyer. DO NOT discuss what did or did not happen with anyone else. Your communications with your attorney, even during an initial phone conversation, are kept strictly confidential and privileged. Unless you discuss a future crime that you plan on committing, attorneys are duty bound, ethically bound, and required to keep your confidences.
Contact me, Leonard Frieling at (720)320-6201 immediately to move forward. I also represent those facing charges in Larimer, Denver, Broomfield, Jefferson County, Adams County, Gilpin County, Park County, Clear Creek County, Lake County, and Arapahoe County, Colorado. I have handled cases all over the state of Colorado, as well as other states. Remember that the "money meter" is not running until you sign a fee agreement and pay a retainer. Retainers are determined by the firm attorney who will lead your representation.

Case Results
Learn how I have helped Boulder and other Colorado residents as well as defendants in Kansas and Wyoming (working the out-of-state counsel pro hac vice). ALL of our clients receive first-class, attentive, and skilled representation and receive a fair and favorable resolution to their criminal cases. Of course, results cannot ethically be promised, and our history of miracle results is lengthy and impressive. We are NOT a typical defense firm.
Case Won at Jury Trial
Case won with a NOT GUILTY jury verdict.
While the list of amazing results is long and impressive, I am reluctant to discuss much detail to protect the clients and former clients' privacy. Protecting my clients' privacy, privilege, and confidentiality is of prime importance.
All Charges Dismissed
Young lady, third and fourth DUI/drugs and alcohol, roll-over accident, won both cases, all charges dismissed.
Not Guilty at Trial
Fraudulent insurance and unjust and unjustified criminal charges claimed that one of my client-defendants had hit a pedestrian so hard in a shopping center parking lot that the "victim" claimed she was thrown 10 feet in the air, landing on her head. Case won at jury trial. An extensive, detailed investigation proved to be the key to the dismissal. The prosecutor was partially difficult, unreasonable, and lazy. I overcame all of that to get the case dismissed.
