Practice Areas

The firm’s practice is built around serious and complex criminal defense, with particular depth in felony trial work, appellate proceedings, and post-conviction relief.

Sexual Assault: These cases require early intervention, careful examination of physical evidence, and a thorough understanding of how investigators and prosecutors build these matters. The reputational and legal consequences of conviction make the quality of early defense preparation especially significant.

Homicide: Murder and manslaughter charges represent the highest-stakes matters in the criminal system. Attorney Aizenman’s trial record in serious felony cases positions the firm for the demands of homicide defense.

DUI: Colorado DUI charges carry license consequences, mandatory programs, and potential incarceration, particularly for subsequent offenses or cases involving accidents with injuries. The firm handles these matters at all stages.

Domestic Violence: Charges in this category often carry mandatory provisions that limit judicial discretion, including no-contact orders and sentencing enhancements. Defense requires attention to both the immediate charge and the collateral consequences that follow.

Drug Offenses: Colorado’s drug laws address a wide range of controlled substances, with penalties varying significantly by classification and quantity. The firm handles possession through trafficking charges.

Theft Crimes: From shoplifting to complex fraud, theft offenses span a wide range of severity. Higher-value theft allegations are felonies with significant sentencing exposure.

Restraining Order Petitions: Civil protection orders can have criminal consequences when violated and can affect housing, employment, and firearms rights. The firm represents clients both contesting petitions and responding to violations.

Federal Criminal Cases: Federal prosecution brings distinct procedural rules, sentencing guidelines, and investigative resources. The firm is equipped to handle federal matters across Colorado’s federal district.

White-Collar Crimes: Financial crimes, fraud, and related offenses require both legal defense and close analysis of financial records, communications, and documentation. The firm handles these matters through all phases of investigation and prosecution.

Violent Offenses: Assault, robbery, and related charges at the felony level are within the firm’s scope.

Student Conduct Proceedings: University disciplinary proceedings operate under different rules than criminal courts but can impose serious consequences including expulsion. The firm represents students facing disciplinary actions, particularly in cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct or violence.

Appeals and Post-Conviction Relief: When a case has already resulted in conviction, the process does not end. The firm handles appeals and post-conviction proceedings for clients seeking to challenge their conviction or sentence.
