Overview
Misdemeanor Crimes in Colorado Springs
A misdemeanor conviction stays on your record. It can come up in background checks for jobs, housing, professional licenses, and immigration. We treat these cases with the same care as a felony.
We handle DUI and DWAI, third degree assault, harassment, trespass, disorderly conduct, theft, and other misdemeanor charges. We appear in El Paso, Teller, Pueblo, Fremont, and Douglas County courts.
How do misdemeanor cases usually end?
Many end with a plea to a reduced charge or a deferred judgment, which can keep a conviction off your record if you complete its terms. Some are dismissed after we challenge the evidence. Some go to trial. Which of these is realistic depends on the evidence, your record, and the prosecutor.
Can a misdemeanor be sealed later?
Often, yes. Colorado allows many criminal records to be sealed, and eligibility depends on the charge, the outcome, and how much time has passed. We can tell you whether your record qualifies and handle the filing.
