• White Collar Crimes
  Criminal defense attorneys represent clients charged with a crime. Crimes range from petty offenses, misdemeanors to felonies. Some defense attorneys focus on certain types of crime and develop more experience in handling those cases. David H. Johnson is a skilled criminal defense attorney who focuses on vehicular assault/homicide, theft, assaults and domestic violence, criminal mischief, harassment, drug offenses, white-collar crimes, embezzlement, sex assaults, fraud and forgery, restraining orders/protection orders, drug-related offenses, DUIs, criminal mischief, and trespass. This includes felony and misdemeanor crimes.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  It’s important to note you can’t accidentally commit criminal mischief. To be charged with criminal mischief you must have knowingly damaged someone else’s property. The amount of damage can be significant or minor. It’s the value of the damage that determines the severity of the crime, whether a misdemeanor or a felony offense. Criminal mischief does not involve taking another’s property, only breaking, defacing, or otherwise damaging it without the owner’s permission. I’m here to listen, understand how you got in this position and be your advocate in assisting you overcome this charge. I will complete an investigation on your behalf, review police reports, interview relevant witnesses and build a compelling defense on your behalf.
• Embezzlement
  Embezzlement is a crime involving theft, usually from a place of business or an employer. In crimes of embezzlement, an intensive investigation will usually occur prior to the arrest and charge of an employee or other individual responsible for diverting funds. Often corporations have security personnel who interrogate employees suspected of misusing corporate property. These statements will be used in a criminal prosecution.
• Drug Crimes
  Drug addiction is a mental health matter that carries over into the criminal system. For those who have become addicted, the road to recovery can be long, difficult and challenging without professional assistance. For those who face criminal allegations of possession involving heroin, cocaine, meth or any other pharmaceutical substance, getting clean should be the first priority. I care about your situation and am here to help. I am an experienced defense lawyer focused on the needs of individuals charged with drug possession crimes.
• Assault
  Charges stemming from domestic violence complaints, such as assault (in some jurisdictions called assault and battery) and harassment are taken very seriously in Colorado. Unlike other misdemeanor charges, an individual arrested and charged with a domestic violence offense is required to be jailed without question, go before a judge and post a bail bond before being released. As a condition of the bail bond, a no-contact order is issued.
• Probation Violation
  A probation violation can either involve a violation of one or more of the actual terms and conditions of probation or a new law violation. If you fail to meet your probation officer, do not complete classes or community service requirements, or violate any of the other written terms of your probation, this is called a rule violation. At court, these allegations have to be proven by a preponderance of the evidence. If the violation involves a new criminal act, the act has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in order to revoke your probation. In any instance, it’s important to build a strong defense to the allegations by contacting an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

• Homicide
  Fort Collins sex assault lawyer, I’ve heard this story more than I’d like to say. Sex offenses carry some of the most serious penalties of all crimes in Colorado. The consequences of a conviction can last longer and be more damaging than a homicide conviction. Beyond the legal ramifications of a conviction, there’s the social stigma of having a sexual assault on your permanent record.
• Shoplifting
  Some of my clients discuss struggling with shoplifting. They are dealing with a feeling of inferiority, not measuring up to a spouses or parent’s expectation. Often there is past trauma in their life. If this is you, or you believe that someone you love may have an addiction to shoplifting, it is important to seek help and counsel as soon as possible.
• Restraining Order
  No contact orders, often referred to as restraining orders or protection orders, are imposed as a result of a domestic dispute or domestic argument. The domestic violence statute in Colorado is strict and allows for judges to impose no contact orders for these types of charges, meaning you cannot even speak to the alleged victim. The no contact order may seem severe and not necessary in your case. It is important you understand the legal repercussions of violating a no contact order. Violating these orders can not only be costly, but also carry new criminal charges.
• Forgery
  If you are accused of a fraud or forgery offense, it is important to take immediate action to protect your rights. I’m here to listen, understand how you got in this position and be your advocate.
