"Very impressed with Mike Petrash. Although the crime I was charged with was unfair, the state of Colorado doesn't dismiss it lightly – most of the time at all. Mike was able to negotiate with the da and have my case dismissed before I ever stepped foot in a court room. So grateful for his representation. He restored my reputation."
