Andrew L. Bertrand Law Office - Fort Collins, CO

Strategic Criminal Defense Advocacy in Fort Collins

Facing criminal accusations in Northern Colorado places your liberty, reputation, and future at risk. Situated on Remington Street in Old Town Fort Collins, the Law Office of Andrew L. Bertrand, PC has provided dedicated criminal defense representation to individuals, families, and college students since 1999. Founding attorney Andrew Leon Bertrand brings a uniquely comprehensive perspective to criminal defense. Having worked as a probation officer with the narcotics task force in New York City, served on the Colorado Governor's DUI Task Force, and prosecuted criminal matters as a district court prosecutor, he possesses deep insight into how police officers build cases and where state evidence falters. When individuals need to find an attorney who will tenaciously uphold their constitutional rights, Mr. Bertrand provides experienced, battle-tested advocacy.

Proven DUI, DWAI, and Vehicular Assault Defense

Driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while ability impaired (DWAI) charges carry severe statutory consequences in Colorado, including driver license revocation, compulsory community service, ignition interlock requirements, and potential jail time. Attorney Andrew Bertrand meticulously evaluates every detail of the roadside encounter, challenging improper traffic stops, flawed standardized field sobriety test administrations, and inaccurate breath or blood test results. The firm also defends clients at Department of Motor Vehicles express consent hearings to contest license revocation. Motorists who choose to hire a DUI defense lawyer benefit from aggressive defense strategies designed to preserve driving privileges and seek charge dismissals or reductions.

Domestic Violence, Assault, and Weapons Offense Defense

Colorado statutes require mandatory arrest in domestic violence situations, often triggering immediate protective orders that bar individuals from their homes and children before evidence is fully examined. The firm provides swift defense against assault, harassment, menacing, domestic violence, and weapons charges. By conducting independent investigations, obtaining digital records, and scrutinizing witness testimony, Mr. Bertrand builds powerful defenses aimed at protecting personal freedom and family relationships.

Drug Charges, Property Crimes, and College Student Defense

The firm delivers resolute advocacy against misdemeanor and felony offenses, including drug possession, distribution, theft, burglary, and white-collar fraud. As Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University, many college students face criminal allegations that threaten their education, scholarships, and career aspirations. When students or working professionals urgently need a lawyer following an arrest, the firm moves rapidly to pursue pre-trial diversion, deferred sentences, and record expungement to protect their long-term futures.
