WHEN YOUR LIFE IS AT RISK YOU NEED THE BEST DEFENSE. WE WIN YOU CASE FOR YOU BY GETTING THE DA TO DISMISS THE CASE OR WE GET "NOT GUILTY" VERDICTS.
Colorado Criminal Defense Lawyer Venkatesh "Vee" Iyer
(Former Successful Prosecutor and CPA)

At a very young age I had very strong opinions and would defend the weaker persons in my society. I saw how my father was treated by lawyers. I did not like what I saw.

At that time I made a solemn promise that I would be candid and forthright with my clients when I practice law. I have and continue to keep that promise. Unlike other lawyers, I practice law the old fashioned way - by treating each and every client just as I would treat my own loved ones - love, kindness, and candidness. I earn your trust and business - one client at a time. Over the past several years I have built a successful law practice.

As a skilled Colorado Criminal Defense Lawyer, I am committed to providing each client with the best possible legal representation. I have established an impressive record representing clients in Denver, surrounding communities, Colorado Springs, and throughout the state.
Practice Areas:
Criminal Defense (State & Federal Courts)
Wills, Probate, and Estate Planning
Small Business Contracts, Contract Negotiation, Business Formation
Tax Preparation (Individual and Business), Tax Audit Representation and Tax Court Litigation

As a first generation immigrant and a naturalized U.S. Citizen, I fully understand the peculiar difficulties, concerns and anxieties of immigrants (legal or illegal). I do not judge you based on your immigration status; but do realize that you have different concerns and needs than U.S. citizens. I look into these concerns with great empathy and seek to obtain the best possible resolution of your case after considering any immigration impact the criminal charges or conviction may have on your immigration status. I understand that your immigration status is very important to you and have grave concerns of the possibility of being deported or your immigration status being canceled. In order to avoid unintentional or accidental possible negative immigration consequences to our clients, the Iyer Law Office adopts a strict policy to inquire into the immigration status of our client. In this way, we can help our client avoid certain, sometimes irreversible, negative immigration consequences including deportation or denial of U.S. Citizenship.

My professional philosophy and credo has always been that the most important and only factor that really matters, in EVERY CASE, is the CLIENT'S BEST INTEREST. As a former Colorado State Deputy District Attorney, I understand and work with the prosecution (but always protecting your rights and interests) to secure the best possible resolution to your case. I will provide you with my best legal advice and judgment; but you are in ultimate control of your case. You decide whether to take the plea offer or to challenge the accusations at trial. Whichever course you choose, I provide knowledgeable, vigorous defense, working VERY HARD, at all times, to VINDICATE YOU OF ALL CHARGES.
Prior to establishing my own law office in January 2005, I was a Deputy District Attorney in Colorado for about three years. As a prosecutor, I successfully prosecuted thousands in County and District Courts. I have conducted several hundreds of jury and Bench (Judge) trials and thousands of pre-trial motions hearings. Therefore, I have ACTUAL TRIAL EXPERIENCE. I understand how the criminal justice system works. As a skilled Denver Criminal Lawyer, I use this special knowledge and experience to walk and guide you through the labyrinth of the Criminal Justice System in a user-friendly, courteous and respectful manner.

Unlike some criminal defense attorneys, my Firm will always assist you during all stages of the criminal justice system including Bail Bonding, Bail Reduction, and the pre-arrest process. I will always move the Court to either release you on a PERSONAL RECOGNIZANCE BOND (you are out of jail on your signature) or to reduce any bond to an affordable and reasonable amount. Your freedom is always my FIRST PRIORITY. I will always work very hard and smart to protect your rights, promote your interests and to achieve the best possible outcome and resolution in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
If you have been accused of a crime, the decisions you make now can literally affect the rest of your life. The strength of your defense should be assessed by an attorney who fully understands the unique facts of your case and who knows how the law applies to your circumstances. Only then can you make the critical decisions that will protect your future. As a skilled Colorado Criminal Defense Attorney, I have extensive experience helping people make these important decisions.
My Firm also handles Juvenile Law cases, including Dependency & Neglect. In addition, my firm also provides legal representation and services in commercial (business) transactions, estates, wills, trusts, probate administration, and taxes.
