Our client was accused of assault following an argument with his girlfriend outside a downtown Denver hotel. The disagreement was verbal—no physical contact occurred between them—but bystanders misread the situation and intervened. A group encircled our client, escalating the tension. As he tried to protect himself, minor physical contact occurred between him and the intervenors.
A hotel security claimed that our client had attacked him unprovoked. But Krizman Law obtained the hotel’s surveillance footage, which clearly showed that our client had been attempting to de-escalate and defend himself from unwanted interference.
We presented the footage to the Denver District Attorney’s Office and pointed out inconsistencies in witness accounts. Prosecutors then dismissed all charges. The evidence made clear that our client’s actions were lawful self-defense.
By being quick and thorough in gathering the facts, Krizman Law helped our client avoid the upheaval of court and the stress of facing time in jail.
Krizman Law is known for its relentless pursuit of justice for clients. That means thoughtfully listening to the client's story, diligently investigating the circumstances and the law, and aggressively advocating for the client in front of prosecutors, judges, and juries.
