William Bacharach is a VA-accredited attorney representing Colorado veterans in both the criminal courts and before the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans face a unique set of legal consequences that civilian defendants do not — a conviction can affect disability benefits, federal firearm rights, and housing eligibility in ways that most defense attorneys never consider.
VA accreditation authorizes William Bacharach to represent veterans in VA benefits claims and appeals before the Department of Veterans Affairs — a credential most criminal defense attorneys do not hold. Combined with his criminal defense practice, this means veterans get representation that accounts for both proceedings at once. This dual capability means veterans get representation that accounts for the full picture, not just what happens at the courthouse.
Bacharach Law serves veterans across the Denver metro and throughout Colorado — from the first appearance after an arrest to the final stage of a VA benefits appeal.
