Criminal Cases We Represent

As soon as you are arrested, you must protect yourself by hiring a team of legal professionals who will build a strong defense for you. At Gerash Steiner Blanton, P.C., our Arvada criminal defense lawyers handle all kinds of criminal cases.

DUI/DUID

If you are caught driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you can face serious penalties, including fines, jail time, and license revocation. In Colorado, there are certain steps you can take to give yourself the best defense, such as requesting a hearing with the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Too often, individuals do not take these measures. Here’s where we can help. Our criminal defense team can represent you in a criminal proceeding as well as a license hearing with the DMV.

Drug Crimes

From misdemeanor possession to felony drug trafficking, we defend clients facing all kinds of drug charges. When you are caught with drugs, it may seem like there is no hope, but that’s where we come in. Attorney Daniel Gerash is particularly trained in identifying circumstances where evidence has been obtained illegally. Our job is to prioritize your rights and make sure your story is heard. Let us fight for you.

Gun Crimes

A gun charge conviction can limit your ability to own a firearm in the future, obtain housing, and apply for jobs. Our Arvada criminal defense attorneys handle gun charges, such as the unlawful purchase of a firearm, prohibited use of a firearm, possession of a weapon by a previous offender, and gun charges accompanying another criminal act, such as robbery. Since guns are federally regulated, you need the attorneys at Gerash Steiner Blanton, P.C., who understand the complex state and federal regulations that apply to your case.

Felony Crimes

When it comes to felony crimes, your future is truly at stake. Felony criminal charges are serious and heavily penalized in Colorado. You need a team who will defend your rights and aggressively fight for you. At Gerash Steiner Blanton, P.C., we have helped clients facing felony crimes, such as arson, burglary, child abuse, internet crimes, stalking, and many more.

Juvenile Crimes

It is incredibly difficult to see a child up against the criminal justice system. Knowing the outcome could change your child’s future is not something we take lightly. Different rules apply to juvenile crimes. Our Arvada criminal defense lawyers know the ins and outs of the Colorado juvenile court system. We are there to walk your child through every step of the process and ensure they are innocent until proven guilty.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence charges can be emotional to go through as they often involve loved ones. The consequences of a domestic violence charge go beyond fines and jail time and can impact your ability to see family members, travel, and own a firearm. With so much hanging in the balance, you need qualified counsel representing you. In addition to our expertise, we bring in our resources to paint the full picture for the court. Our experts include private investigators, psychologists, and forensic professionals. Let us assist you and provide you with your options.

Sex Crimes

Sex crimes carry a certain stigma with them, in addition to the penalties a judge may issue. At Gerash Steiner Blanton, P.C., we proudly represent clients facing sex crime charges. We will thoroughly investigate your case and present the facts in your favor. Remember, just because you are charged with a crime does not mean you will be convicted, but you must take swift action and hire competent legal counsel.

Theft Crimes

Theft crimes involve unlawfully taking or using someone else’s property with no intent of returning it. Theft, also known as larceny, is a serious offense classified as either a misdemeanor or felony. The allegedly stolen object’s value determines the classification of the crime and level of punishment. From petty theft to felony larceny, we have seen it all and are prepared to pursue a powerful defense for you.

White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes involve nonviolent, unlawful acquisition of money. Even if you believe you made a simple mistake, you should not speak or act without a lawyer to help you avoid incriminating yourself. White collar crimes can result in felony charges, so consider hiring Gerash Steiner Blanton, P.C., to explain the charges, review your options, and protect your rights. When you work with our attorneys, we make every effort to allow you to focus on your job, family, and life while we handle the legal process.

Violent Crimes

Most violent crimes are felonies, meaning the penalties are harsh. Some examples of violent crime charges that we defend our clients against are robbery, assault, battery, carjacking, murder, kidnapping, and sexual assault. Not only do these crimes carry large fines and long prison sentences, but your reputation could also suffer. Your ability to vote, possess a firearm, run for public office, and obtain employment may be in jeopardy. Trust our team of Arvada criminal defense attorneys with your case.
