CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Facing criminal charges is one of life’s most stressful experiences. Your freedom, reputation, and future are on the line.

With more than fifty jury trials completed in Colorado courts, Oliver Khouri brings trial-tested defense strategies when it matters most.

Oliver investigates every case thoroughly, identifies weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and is not afraid to take your case to trial when that’s what’s needed to get the best result.

CRIMINAL
CASES WE DEFEND

Khouri Law handles the full range of criminal charges in Colorado courts.

DUI and DWAI

Colorado DUI laws are harsh — and prosecutors are aggressive. Even a first-time DUI can mean jail time, license suspension, mandatory ignition interlock, fines, and a permanent criminal record. A DWAI — often at blood alcohol levels below .08 — still carries significant penalties many people don’t expect.

Oliver challenges every aspect of your arrest: whether the stop was lawful, whether field sobriety tests were properly administered, whether the breathalyzer or blood test was accurate, and whether your constitutional rights were protected throughout.

  • Challenging the legality of the traffic stop
  • Contesting breathalyzer calibration and operator error
  • Blood test chain-of-custody challenges
  • Challenging field sobriety test administration
  • Negotiating for reduced charges or diversion programs

Drug Charges

Colorado has decriminalized recreational marijuana, but serious drug charges remain on the books. From simple possession to distribution, Oliver builds strong defenses against drug-related charges — including identifying Fourth Amendment violations that can lead to suppression of evidence and, often, dismissal of the case.

  • Possession
  • Distribution and sale
  • Manufacturing

Assault and Violent Crimes

Serious charges require serious defense. Felony convictions are life-altering — affecting voting rights, firearm rights, housing, professional licenses, and custody, in addition to potential prison sentences. Oliver brings thorough and aggressive defense to every felony case: investigating the facts, challenging physical evidence, and being fully prepared for trial.

Domestic Violence

In Colorado, police are required by law to make an arrest when called to a domestic disturbance and have probable cause — even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges. These mandatory arrest policies mean accusations alone can have devastating consequences. Oliver works quickly to challenge the charges and protect your rights.

Theft and Burglary

From shoplifting to aggravated robbery, theft convictions hurt employment and your record for years. Oliver fights for dismissals, charge reductions, diversion, and record sealing wherever possible.

Felonies and
Misdemeanors

Khouri Law handles all levels of criminal charges in Colorado — from petty offenses and misdemeanors to serious felonies. If you don’t see your charge listed here, call anyway. Oliver will tell you honestly whether he can help.

Juvenile Defense

Young people deserve a second chance. Colorado’s juvenile system offers diversion and record sealing — but only with the right advocate from day one. Oliver approaches juvenile cases with a focus on outcomes that protect the client’s future.
