Denver Criminal Defense Attorney

Protecting Clients Across Denver, Adams, and Broomfield Counties

If you’ve been arrested in Colorado, you already know how quickly your life can feel out of control. A criminal conviction can bring jail or prison time, heavy fines, license suspensions, and a record that follows you for years. At DeChant Law, we fight to protect your rights and give you a real chance at moving forward.

Wide Range of Criminal Defense Representation

Our firm defends clients facing charges from misdemeanors to the most serious felonies. Cases often include:Reid-DeChant-Denver-Criminal-Defense-Attorney

  • Driving offenses such as DUI, DWAI, and felony DUI; we also handle cases involving vehicular assault and vehicular homicide, which carry some of the harshest penalties under Colorado law.
  • Property crimes like theft and burglary, ranging from shoplifting to home and business break-ins.
  • Violent crimes, including assault, battery, and homicide charges, where the stakes are highest.
  • Drug crimes, whether possession, distribution, or trafficking of controlled substances.
  • Gun and weapons offenses, including unlawful possession, concealed carry violations, and illegal discharge.
  • Sex crimes, from sexual assault and internet exploitation to indecent exposure, which can carry lifelong registration requirements.
  • Other serious offenses such as arson, often prosecuted as felonies with significant prison exposure.

Our Approach to Defense

Attorney Reid DeChant uses his background as both a public defender and private defense attorney to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and build strategies that protect clients. This includes reviewing police procedures, examining witness statements, and challenging unconstitutional searches or unreliable evidence. Just as important, we create personalized mitigation plans that highlight your story, not just the charges against you.

Why Clients Choose DeChant Law

  • Direct communication and involvement in every stage of the case
  • Strong negotiation skills to pursue reduced charges or alternative sentencing
  • Aggressive trial advocacy when going to court is the best path forward

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

B.G.

I can’t say enough good things about Reid. From the very beginning he was the first and only person to truly care and fight for what I was going through. We went through a lot of ups and downs together and in the end my case was dismissed. He truly fought for me to the end and did everything he could to ensure a smooth process. He kept me calm and even brought in John to help. They both are extremely kind souls and are good at what they do. Highly recommend.

I’m beyond thankful for the service that DeChant law provided. Each step throughout my legal battle was dealt with great communication and in-depth information to help me better understand what I was facing. The end result was something that I had hoped for going in, but with each day and encounter/conversation that we had made it more of a possibility. And DeChant law represented me and I know I wouldn’t have gotten the results that I did without them. I felt important from beginning to end, that I mattered. That this was as important to them as it was for me. Thank you so much!!!
