When the government is investigating you, or you have already been charged with a crime, what you need from a lawyer depends heavily on where the case stands. You may need help responding to investigators, preparing for a grand jury proceeding, challenging the government’s evidence before trial, defending yourself before a jury, or addressing sentencing after a conviction. 

At Anderson Barkley, LLC, you can receive criminal defense representation at each of these stages. The firm handles federal and state criminal matters in Denver, Colorado, including investigations, grand jury proceedings, pretrial defense, criminal trials, and sentencing.

Whether you have just learned that you are under investigation or are already facing prosecution, the attorneys can assess where your case stands and determine what needs to be done next. 

Criminal Defense Before Charges Are Filed

You do not have to wait until you are arrested or indicted to seek legal representation. If federal or state investigators contact you, request an interview, execute a search warrant, or otherwise indicate that your conduct is under investigation, the decisions you make at that point can affect what follows. 

Anderson Barkley, LLC represents people and businesses during federal, state, and internal investigations. Their attorneys will communicate with investigators and prosecutors on your behalf, evaluate your potential exposure, help you respond to government requests, and advise you before you make statements or provide information. 

Early representation allows your attorneys to understand what the government is investigating, identify potential legal concerns, and help protect your interests before the matter progresses. 

Responding to a Grand Jury Subpoena

Receiving a grand jury subpoena may mean you are being asked to testify, produce documents, or provide other information in an ongoing criminal investigation. Your role may range from witness to subject or target, and understanding that distinction can be important before you respond. 

Anderson Barkley, LLC provides representation in grand jury subpoena matters for individuals and businesses. Its attorneys can review what the subpoena requires, communicate with prosecutors, evaluate potential criminal exposure, identify any privilege or other legal issues, and prepare you for testimony when necessary. 

If you have been contacted by investigators or received a subpoena, getting advice before responding gives your attorneys an opportunity to address potential problems while the investigation is still developing. 

Building Your Defense Before Trial

Once charges have been filed, Anderson Barkley, LLC can begin examining the government’s case rather than simply waiting for a trial date.

That work may include reviewing police reports and charging documents, analyzing witness statements, examining physical and digital evidence, reviewing searches, and identifying potential constitutional or evidentiary issues. 

Through pretrial criminal defense, the firm's team can investigate the allegations, review discovery, address bail or release issues, challenge evidence when appropriate, and file motions on your behalf. They can also assess whether negotiations offer a reasonable resolution while continuing to prepare the defense if the case proceeds. 

The goal is not simply to respond to the prosecution’s version of events. It is to determine what the evidence actually establishes, what can be challenged, and what defense strategy best addresses the allegations against you. 

Criminal Trial Defense When the Case Must Be Litigated

If your case cannot be resolved appropriately before trial, Anderson Barkley, LLC can defend you in court.

Trial representation requires more than appearing before a judge or jury. Your attorneys must understand the evidence, anticipate the prosecution’s arguments, prepare witnesses and examinations, address evidentiary issues, and present your defense effectively. 

The firm brings substantial litigation experience to this work. Jeremy Sibert has tried more than 100 jury cases and has extensive experience with federal motion practice. His background includes more than 25 years of practice in federal and state courts.  

That experience can also matter before a trial begins. Preparing your case with litigation in mind allows the attorneys to evaluate negotiations against the strength of the evidence and to avoid building a defense on the assumption that the case will settle. 

Representation During Criminal Sentencing

Criminal defense does not necessarily end when a guilty plea or verdict is entered. If your case proceeds to sentencing, you still need an attorney to advocate for your interests as the court determines the consequences that will follow. 

Anderson Barkley, LLC represents clients during criminal sentencing and can address the circumstances relevant to the court’s decision. The issues involved will depend on whether your case is in state or federal court, the offense, your history, and other circumstances specific to your case. 

The firm's attorneys can prepare appropriate arguments and supporting information, explain what to expect, and present your position to the court. 

Criminal Defense Built Around Your Case

No two criminal cases warrant the same approach. You may need immediate advice during an investigation, representation before a grand jury, challenges to evidence before trial, or assistance at sentencing. Anderson Barkley, LLC provides representation across those stages rather than treating criminal defense as a single event. 

Its attorneys evaluate the government’s case, explain the risks and available options, and give you straightforward advice about the decisions ahead. You remain involved in those decisions and receive an explanation of the strategy being used on your behalf. 

The firm emphasizes personalized attention and honest, transparent communication, so you can understand what is happening in your case and why particular steps are being taken.
