Income Based/Sliding Scale Criminal Representation

The Colorado Criminal Defense Bar supports every person’s right to legal representation when he/she is accused of a crime.  Many people make too much to qualify for free representation through the state but are still unable to afford a criminal defense lawyer.  If you are not income-eligible for representation by the Colorado Public Defender’s Office or the Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel but you still need criminal representation feel free to contact one of the lawyers below.

These attorneys may be willing to adjust their normal fees based on your financial circumstances.  They may be willing to offer scheduled payments or be willing to reduce what they would normally charge.

Representation is not guaranteed. Simply because the attorneys below have agreed to be included on this list does not mean that they must represent you. 

Representation is a mutual decision that is left to you and the attorney.  In addition, fees, costs, retainers, and conditions of representation are not fixed and vary from one attorney to another.  You are encouraged to call several of the lawyers on this list to find someone who is willing to work with you and who you can afford.  When you call, let them know that you obtained his/her name from the CCDB’s Income Based Sliding Scale List.
