 Lisa A. Polansky, Colorado Criminal Defense Attorney
Have you been arrested? Are you being accused of a crime? You may need an attorney. Maybe you are being wrongfully accused. You may have had your constitutional rights violated.
My name is Lisa A. Polansky. I have been practicing since 1990 as a criminal defense attorney and am here to represent you and protect your rights in both state and federal courts. I am licensed in state and federal courts in Colorado and California. I am also qualified to represent you in all military courts and administrative proceedings.
I have handled juvenile and adult matters ranging from DUI to homicide and have tried numerous cases both to court and jury.
My practice is based in Boulder, Colorado and I cover cases throughout the area, including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Jefferson, Weld, Denver and other surrounding areas. I can also handle cases in California and in military courts.
Some very important words of wisdom:
Admissions made by a criminal defendant may be admissible in the prosecutor's case in
chief. At the of investigation or arrest or subsequent thereto, no criminal defendant should
discuss a case with or make any statements whatsoever to any law enforcement officer,
prosecutor, witness, the alleged victim, an insurance adjuster or any other third person.
You have the absolute right to remain silent even if police don't tell you. Exercise that right.
When a criminal suspect voluntarily gives permission for police or law enforcement to
search, items found in that search will likely be admissible as evidence. Conversely, searches
without a warrant are presumed unlawful with some exceptions. Evidence found as a result of an
unlawful search may be suppressed (excluded from admission) as a fruit of the poisonous tree.
Every citizen has the constitutional right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.
Never consent to a search or seizure without advice of legal counsel. Let law enforcement
procure a warrant or face possible constitutional challenge to the evidence.
Similarly, no other rights should be waived by any criminal suspect or defendant without
advice from counsel. If you aren't certain what your rights are at the time of the police request,
simply say "no - I need to speak to an attorney."
