About

I went to trial for the first time in the summer of 2004 and spent the next fourteen years vigorously representing people charged with crimes.  I also spent a year with the Innocence Project in Kentucky fighting for those wronged by their own judicial system. For thirteen years as a public defender, I successfully defended individuals across Colorado.  From Holyoke to Golden and from petty offenses to first-degree murder, I have fought the government in Colorado.  My experience includes nearly 100 trials, but I also push for dismissals or negotiate pleas that make sense for my clients.  Criminal defense has been the only job I have ever had and continues to be my passion.  Call us anytime and we will be happy to talk to you about your case.

Chaz has built mutually respectful relationships with the important players in the system. He knows the nuances of the law and the system necessary to get the best possible results in your case. I highly recommend Chaz's counsel in any criminal matter.

I was in a Jefferson County court room requesting a protection order be granted on behalf of my son, Mr. Melihercik was in the same courtroom. I did not know Mr. Melihercik at the time, but would later come to find out how serendipitous this encounter would prove to be. My son was the victim of a very offensive hate crime, and his perpetrator was charged with a petty offense. Mr. Melihercik offered his advice and guidance. I was impressed by his relaxed manner, and agreed that Mr. Melihercik represent my son. Mr. Melihercik worked for the DA’s office before going into private practice for himself. He studies and understands law, and human behavior. He has tremendous knowledge, skills, training, and insight to understand potential strategies defense counsel could attempt to use when questioning individuals, in this case, my son. Mr. Melihercik,s counsel was detailed, thoughtful, and he made a very uncomfortable situation tolerable. His actions were pivotal in the outcome of the case. In my opinion, Mr. Melihercik went above and beyond by inquiring if additional charges would be added in addition to the petty charge imposed by Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. It was Mr. Melihercik, who acknowledge the crime my son endured merited more than a petty offense, and with further investigation he proved to be correct, and additional significant charges were added. My son was granted a Permanent Protection Order. Mr. Melihercik is an attorney I would highly recommend to anyone who wants an ethical, meticulous, highly skilled, and knowledgeable attorney.

Very happy with representation of Mr Melihercik. He provided clear explanation of the entire legal process and answered all my questions, providing answers and recommendations I didn't know of. He worked the case and provided updates via meetings, phone calls, emails, I never felt unrepresented or in the dark. Even explained billing and provided assistance after case settled. Very satisfied with representation and recommend. Thank you.

First of all a huge thank you to Chaz for all of his hard work and no nonsense approach of my case. Chaz made the complicated court process turn into a process that was approachable and made me able to breath so to speak. The confidence he places in the people he represents can not be duplicated. When I was falsely accused of domestic violence and it felt the world was on my shoulders, Chaz stepped up to the plate and assured me and my 3 children would get through this and indeed we did. Chaz after entering the case willing and ready for trial was able to get my case dismissed and I was finally to able to live again without the fear of.the courts controlling my life. Highly recommend Chaz be your first choice when your searching for an attorney who is confident and continuously makes sure his clients are in the know and as confident as he is.
