I am David H. Johnson of the law firm Liggett, Smith, Wilson & Johnson, P.C., located in Fort Collins, Colorado. I began my legal career in 1986 when I served as a Deputy District Attorney in the 8th Judicial District Attorney, District Attorney's Office in Larimer County, Colorado. After gaining legal experience prosecuting criminal cases in the County, Juvenile and District Courts, I left the District Attorney's Office in December 1992 and began my career as a private attorney. Today I handle criminal and personal injury matters. I work closely with my clients to provide personalized service and am committed to resolving client matters in an efficient and effective manner. To schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your legal needs, contact my Fort Collins law office.

Have you been arrested for a DUI in Fort Collins? Are you facing felony drug charges or other drug-related charges? Are you facing charges of sexual assault or assault (in other jurisdictions called assault and battery)? Have you been accused of domestic violence? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are facing some serious consequences. You need a Fort Collins criminal defense attorney who can help you solve your legal problems. I can help. I have over 20 years of experience representing clients just like you.

I am sensitive to the needs of my clients and can often use creative legal strategies to help. In my years of representing clients I have gained an understanding that drug-related offenses are generally the result of underlying substance abuse issues. As part of my practice, I address issues of addiction and can refer clients to appropriate programs. Participation in substance abuse programs can sometimes improve the outcome of your case, but more importantly it can help you get your life back on track.

People are not perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Your identity does not need to resolve around those mistakes. I am here to see that my clients get a second chance. I am devoted to my clients and will commit the time and energy necessary to help improve my client's situation.

My other focus is victims of automobile personal injury matters. I provide the same compassion and dedicated representation to my accident injury clients as I do with my criminal defense clients. I work tirelessly to see that you are justly compensated for your injuries.

Often those injured in an automobile accident need an advocate in dealing with big insurance companies. My attention to details, my ability to represent my clients' position, and my legal competence are key qualities in pursuing my clients' claims. Through my negotiation skills, or if necessary my litigation skills, my goal is to resolve your personal injury claim in a fair and timely manner. My focus is to get you the help you need to heal physically and emotionally and obtain the financial resources to make you whole.

If you need a seasoned criminal defense attorney or a personal injury lawyer who can help, then please call. You can learn more about the legal services I provide at www.fortcollinsjustice.com & www.lswjlaw.com.
