Have You Been Charged With a Criminal Offense?
If you, a friend, a family member have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony in Larimer County, Weld County, Colorado, I, Geri Joneson, offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case. For more information about any individual criminal offenses, visit any the pages listed below:
DUI/DWAI
For many people, a DUI or DWAI arrest is the first time they have been exposed to the legal system. It can be sobering, humiliating and a devastating experience. The legal procedures alone can be very daunting for someone unfamiliar with the Courthouse. No two DUI/DWAI's are alike.
Domestic Violence/Protection Orders/No Contact Orders
In Colorado, Domestic Violence is a sentencing enhancer; it is not a separate charge.
Charges Involving College Age Students in Colorado
I represent college age students from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado State University in Fort Collins, the University of Colorado in Boulder, Front Range Community College and other educational institutions in northern Colorado.
Misdemeanors
Misdemeanor charges may include assault, harassment, criminal mischief, theft, trespass and minor in possession/consumption. Many misdemeanors can be resolved through a fair and reasonable plea bargain.
Felony Offenses
Convictions for felony offenses such as first degree assault, possession, distribution, manufactoring of a controlled substance, theft, burglary and trespass carry severe penalties and often include a mandatory prison and parole sentence.
Assault/Harassment
Typically assault cases have two sides to the incident. My client's perspective of the incident is just as critical as the alleged victim's side of the incident. This information is important for the District Attorney to make an informed decision about the case.
Theft/Burglary/Trespass
Theft and trespass are often charged together. A conviction for either offense can result in serious penalties and often payment of restitution is required.
Drug Offenses-Unlawful Use, Possession, Distribution, Manufacturing of a Controlled Substance
Drug offenses can be charged several different ways; unlawful use, possession, distribution, and manufactoring, and depends upon the type of drug and the amount. Drug offenses can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony.

I help resolve tickets for speeding, careless driving, failure to yield right-of-way, driving under license revocation and other moving violations. Many of my clients are over-the-road truck drivers.
