Protecting Your Rights and Freedom

We handle a wide spectrum of criminal matters, bringing the same level of intensity to every case, whether it is a misdemeanor or a major felony. Our areas of expertise include:

• DUI Defense: We challenge breathalyzer accuracy, field sobriety tests, and traffic stop procedures to save your license and keep your record clean.
• Domestic Violence: We defend against DV allegations that can threaten your family, your job, and your reputation, working to prevent restraining orders and criminal convictions.
• Drug Crimes: From possession to distribution, we fight to suppress illegally obtained evidence and advocate for treatment over incarceration whenever possible.
• Personal Injury: Beyond criminal law, we represent victims of negligence, using our trial skills to secure maximum compensation for accidents and injuries.

Scholarly Excellence and Courtroom Savvy

Tony Schwartz's legal acumen is backed by impressive academic credentials. He graduated fourth in his class from the University of Denver College of Law and clerked for a federal judge, honing his skills in legal writing and analysis. However, he is far from an ivory-tower academic; he is a street-smart trial lawyer who thrives in the rough-and-tumble of the courtroom. Clients consistently praise The Schwartz Law Firm for being accessible, honest, and results-driven. We understand that being accused of a crime is one of the most stressful experiences of your life, and we are here to guide you through it with confidence and care. ⚖
