There are several categories of crimes: felonies, misdemeanors, petty offenses, traffic offenses and traffic violations. Though misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, a misdemeanor conviction can still result in significant jail time or large fines. A misdemeanor conviction stays on your criminal record for life, rearing its ugly head during employment, housing and other background checks if you don’t aggressively fight your case. So, it’s important to be represented by a skilled defense lawyer when you’re charged with a misdemeanor. We represent clients in misdemeanor offenses to help them avoid or minimize the consequences of conviction.

Sexual offenses range from sexual assaults, to sexual assault on a child, sexual exploitation of a child on the internet, unlawful sexual contact and indecent exposure. Almost every sexual offense crime is a felony.  Once convicted, you must register as a sex offender and have no contact with children under 18, potentially even your own children.  There is even the possibility that you could receive a life sentence to the Colorado Department of Corrections.  Drawing on experience as a prosecutor for the Special Victim’s Unit in El Paso County District Court, the Law Office of Andrew Bryant has successfully defended numerous clients on misdemeanor and federal sexual assault charges.

Burglary is an unlawful entry into a structure with the intent to commit a crime. All three degrees of burglary are felonies, carrying punishments of multiple years in prison. You want an accomplished attorney to mount your defense for this serious crime.
