Criminal Defense
Most of Mr. Willett's practice is devoted to protecting clients against criminal charges. Criminal convictions come with many consequences. High fines, jail time, restitution, loss of driver's license and civil rights, loss of employment, family problems and other repercussions often come with convictions, so it is important to present a strong defense in court.
Mr. Willet has extensive experience defending clients against many criminal charges, including:
- Sexual assault
- Homicide
- DUI/DWI (drunk driving)
- Domestic violence
- Fraud and white collar crime
- Drug possession and other crimes
- Child abuse
- Personal Injury
If you have already been convicted, attorney Willett's experience with appeals and post-conviction matters can help you get your life back.
Drug Crimes
Drug dependence is an issue that Mr. Willett takes very seriously. Unfortunately, rather than understanding the causes of drug dependence many law enforcement officers only look at drug offenses as means to punish the convicted offender. Mr. Willett provides a strong, effective defense for drug cases using his experience in fighting illegal search and seizure, wire taps, and drug concentration and quantity conclusions used by the government to heighten drug charges. Mr. Willett also reviews the actions of arresting officers and investigators in order to identify constitutional violations and questionable conduct that could taint the state's case against you with "fruit of the poisonous tree". In cases where use is an issue, Mr. Willett uses a multi-faceted approach to help humanize the accused before the court of law and promote the client's chances for success to get out of the system.
Appeals
The appeal is usually the last chance a person has to restore their business or life once a judgment enters. Mr. Willett, having practiced continually in all phases of appellate representation, can assist you or your business in pursuing an appeal that corrects mistakes made by the trial court. Appeals are a complicated area of the law that require great skill in writing and enormous attention to detail. Bringing these qualities to your case, Mr. Willett will provide you with experienced appellate law representation. If your case requires a post-conviction or post-judgment hearing, Mr. Willett's trial experience blends with his appellate experience to provide you with dedicated and committed post judgment representation.
Legal Malpractice
Sometimes the most frustrating cases for the client are those that were pursued by a less than competent lawyer. Mr. Willett is committed to restoring the harmed client's respect for the legal profession through pursuit of attorney malpractice claims. Attorney malpractice is a difficult area of law, because it requires one to try a case within a case to prove how the offending attorney violated his duty to the client. Using attorney experts from Denver and the surrounding metropolitan areas, Mr. Willett has successfully pursued ineffective assistance of counsel claims in criminal cases, as well as legal malpractice actions in a host of civil cases.
Personal Injury
If you are suffering because of someone else's actions, you deserve financial compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and other damages. Unfortunately, in many instances, insurance companies are often more concerned with their bottom line than with what is right. Often, insurance companies try and shift blame onto injury victims in order to avoid paying more in a personal injury claim.
Mr. Willett has significant experience pursuing the compensation you deserve and fight to hold the parties responsible for your injuries and pursuing available insurance remedies.
Divorce and Child Custody
Ending a marriage is a difficult task. Attorney Willett will help you understand your rights and protect them in divorce. Mr. Willett's experience and personal attention will give you strength and confidence in knowing that your interests and your personal situation will be handled carefully, zealously, and thoughtfully. Giving you the personal attention you deserve, he will work with you to reach child custody agreements that are in your children's best interests and meet your loved one's needs to minimize the damage caused by divorce.
Small Business Litigation
Whether you are involved in winding up a partnership or are engaged in litigation to enforce contract rights, Jonathan Willett brings a multitude of varying experience to ensure that you achieve the best results possible in your small business litigation case. Unlike many lawyers who handle this type of work, Mr. Willett's extensive experience in the courtroom enables him to negotiate aggressively in arbitration matters or filed court cases. His experience varies from landlord/tenant disputes to dispute among business partners, to enforcing and defending contract claims to purchase stock, allegations of embezzlement, and enforcement of employment agreements. Mr. Willett provides the personal and cost-saving services large law firms cannot provide. As with all matters, initial consultations are free.
