How I Can Help You
Before transitioning to criminal defense, I was a Deputy District Attorney with the 8th Judicial District (Larimer County). I know the ins and outs of how DA's offices work and how prosecutors think. Because of the high volume of cases that are filed with the Weld County Court, prosecutors make quick offers after a minimal review of a case. Often people who are charged with a crime feel pressured into taking that initial deal, and they tend to regret it, because they didn't realize everything the deal entailed.
As a defense attorney, I make it my mission to fully advise my clients so there are no questions about what they are agreeing to. I want all my clients to understand exactly what they have been charged with, the penalties that a conviction of that charge can carry and the court process as a whole. I aim to protect my client's rights and get the best possible outcome, be it trial or a plea agreement.
Education
I earned my Bachelors of Science in Business Administration from the University of Colorado. I went on to the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law and received my Juris Doctor.
Experience
I started off my legal career working with a firm that handled family law and divorce matters, then moved to a personal injury and medical malpractice focused firm before settling on criminal law. As previously stated, I was a Deputy District Attorney with Larimer County for two years before deciding to move to criminal defense with the O'Malley Law Office. As a DDA, I handled hundreds of criminal cases and lead many of them to jury trials. No matter what type of case that I was overseeing, be it Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, DUI, or a Sex Offense, my aim was handle the case ethically and always to come to a just resolution.
