As a criminal defense attorney, it is a privilege to stand with a client during possibly the most difficult and terrifying time in their life.

I seek to understand a person, not just their case, which uniquely positions me to be an effective advocate who naturally tailors strategy to a client’s individual situation.

2026 – People v. C.O. (Denver County) – Client was charged with four separate domestic violence cases in four different counties. Chloe successfully convinced the D.A.s in three of the counties to dismiss their respective cases in exchange for a plea to a single misdemeanor in Denver.
2026 – People v. L.H. (Arapahoe County) – Client was charged with felony domestic violence. Chloe convinced the D.A.’s office they could not prove it, and the case resolved with two minor traffic tickets and no fine.

2025 – People v. S.J. (Jefferson County): An overzealous cop wrongfully charged Chloe’s client with DUI. The prosecutor refused to negotiate, so Chloe set the case for trial. After challenging probable cause, the D.A. sheepishly filed a Motion to Dismiss, letting Chloe know that while he believed the Client was DUI, he (finally) agreed with Chloe that it was unlikely a jury would render a guilty verdict.
2024 – People v. J.C. (Adams County): Client had a history of drug offending and was facing a mandatory DOC sentence of up to three decades. Chloe successfully negotiated the case and achieved a 2-year probationary sentence for this client with no further sanction.

2024 – People v. R.R. (Jefferson County): Client was charged with sexual assault, and the prosecution sought to introduce 404(b) evidence at trial. After Chloe litigated the 404(b) motion and won, the prosecution’s case was sufficiently weakened, and they filed a motion to dismiss prior to trial.
2023 – People v. Z.K. (Jefferson County): Client was charged with various crimes in relation to a road rage incident. He was facing not only a conviction, but also a revocation of his deferred judgment if he sustained any conviction. Chloe took the case to a jury trial and won a full acquittal.
