On any given day, you can check the local newspaper crime blotter page and see a laundry list of crimes that police have begun investigating. In many cases, an arrest has been made, in some there has been nothing. The tendency is that these crimes are minor. Or at least, they are not serious enough or interesting enough to merit their own article in the paper. Many of these crimes are misdemeanors. Something important that anyone should understand is that the people arrested for these crimes, minor though they may be, still need aggressive representation from an experienced Colorado criminal defense attorney.

It is a mistake for someone who has been arrested to think that a misdemeanor shouldn’t be taken seriously. Some misdemeanors carry the possibility of up to a year in jail.
