Shazam Kianpour

My name is Shazam Kianpour and I am am Managing Partner and Owner of Shazam Kianpour & Associates PC in Denver. We are a traffic and criminal defense law firm servicing the metro denver area and ALL of Colorado from corner to corner.

We ONLY practice Criminal, DUI, and Traffic defense and we pride ourselves in not being distracted by other types of law. There are multiple attorneys and staff at the firm and while we all practice general criminal and traffic defense, each attorney specializes in certain areas so it helps our clients immensely when they need a "go to" expert that really hits them out of the park on a certain legal issue. For example, I specialize in Sex Crimes, Internet Sex Crimes, Child Sex Crimes, and Violent Crimes. While I have taken countless DUI and traffic cases to trial, I still have on staff an attorney whom I consider the best in the state in traffic and DUI cases. I have no problem poking my head into his office and quizzing him on a DUI issue because when you hire us, you are not just hiring one attorney, you are hiring a legal TEAM that is now on YOUR team! With over 20 years of combined legal experience, we are young enough to still have the energy and stamina to litigate a 30 day jury trial without missing a step, and yet experienced enough to have successfully tackled the most complex sexual assault and homicide cases.

No matter what your criminal or traffic situation, we have "been there and done that" and we are happy to give you a Free Consultation anytime you call us. I believe criminal cases aren't necessarily charged from 9-5 Monday through Friday and since police don't take weekends off, neither do we. So there is ALWAYS an emergency attorney on call, whether it is Christmas Eve, or July 4th.

Come in and meet us, and you will see and hear what sets us apart. We will listen to you, because we care. Your legal issue does not make you a bad person, and just because you need an attorney does not mean we are smarter or better. We are just every day people that are darn good at what we do, and that is helping others. That's why we ask why us? Because, when you need us, we are there for you!

Q. A friend has defaulted on payments on a car loan and are now making life threats against me and my family

February 12, 2014

A: This is a serious allegation. If you are truly being threatened, then law enforcement may need to get involved. Of course if you call the police, the party threatening you may argue that you have committed "Theft" and police may come back and charge you with a serious felony if you decided to keep the car but never paid. Consult a lawyer. We offer free consults.

Q. If you have a charge for fraud from seventeen years ago in a different state from the one arrested is there extradition

February 12, 2014

A: In general, state reciprocity means that if one state is requesting you be arrested due to felony charges, then the felony charges are extraditable. So yes.

Q. Arrested on out of date search warrent and held for four days

February 12, 2014

A: This is not a simple question. The warrant issue must be researched. Sometimes there are "cure"s that the state can use. Such as claiming you were committing a crime when they stopped you so regardless of the invalidity of the warrant, under Colorado v. Bertine, the vehicle impound law decided by the USSC would still govern allowing the police to have searched your car and found the drugs anyways. Best thing to do is to contact an attorney who can take a closer look at your case. we offer free consults if that helps.
