No nonsense defense attorney
“Chris Decker, a no-nonsense defense attorney, recently helped me navigate my way though potentially ruinous sex offense charges in a notoriously tough district (Arapahoe County) by expertly negotiating the charges and subsequent sentence down to a bump in the road in my life instead of a brick wall. Other in-field professionals I’ve encountered during this process have been left surprised by how favorable my deal was compared with similar cases, and left me confident in his services by naming him as one of just a few lawyers in the Denver area with the professional agility required to adequately work sex offense charges. I plan on retaining his services from here on out, and would implore anyone who has found themselves in legal trouble, particularly with sex crimes, to seek him out for a consultation.” – CC
