"Every person charged with a crime deserves a genuine fight."
Bacharach Law handles all criminal defense matters in Denver and across the Colorado Front Range. Below are the primary practice areas — if you don't see your charge listed, call anyway.
Colorado DUI laws are harsh — and prosecutors are aggressive. Even a first-time DUI can mean jail time, license suspension, mandatory ignition interlock, fines, and a permanent criminal record. A DWAI — often at blood alcohol levels below .08 — still carries significant penalties many people don't expect.
William Bacharach has handled hundreds of DUI cases. He challenges every aspect of your arrest: whether the stop was lawful, whether field sobriety tests were properly administered, whether the breathalyzer or blood test was accurate, and whether your constitutional rights were protected throughout.
Colorado has decriminalized recreational marijuana, but that does not mean all drug charges are gone. Possession of schedule I–IV substances, distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking are still seriously prosecuted.

Personal use amounts — misdemeanor to low-level felony depending on substance
Sale or transfer of controlled substances — class 3–5 felony range

In Colorado, police are required by law to make an arrest when called to a domestic disturbance and have probable cause — even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges.
