A: You will likely need to hire a criminal defense or family law lawyer, depending on the specifics of your case. There is a type of motion that may be applicable, depending on how much time has passed and other facts specific to your case. But, as often, time is of the essence since some of your rights may go away if you don’t act promptly (assuming they have not already been diminished). You might consider calling the Colorado bar association or visit its website (www.cobar.org) to find some attorneys who practice in those areas of law.
