Top Security-Widefield Criminal Defense Lawyer
If you were arrested or charged with a crime in Security-Widefield, Colorado, your case will be handled through the 4th Judicial District at the El Paso County Courthouse in Colorado Springs. Because Security-Widefield is an unincorporated area of El Paso County, cases are typically investigated by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office rather than a municipal police department.
At Pav Law, we defend clients throughout Security-Widefield against misdemeanor and felony charges with strategic, trial-ready preparation tailored to how cases move through the 4th Judicial District.
