When Taking a Plea Deal Could Ruin Your Life, Pav Law Fights for Trial and Justice

July 8, 2025 Posted by Carrie OHara Colorado Law

In a legal system where the vast majority of criminal cases are resolved through plea deals, Pav Law stands out as a firm that refuses to take the easy road—especially when the stakes are too high for compromise. Specializing in trial advocacy for clients facing life-altering consequences, Pav Law is a bold and principled law firm built around a simple but powerful idea: do what’s right, no matter how hard it is.

We’ve Been in Your Shoes

Most lawyers avoid legal trouble. At worst, they get a traffic ticket. Maybe a DUI. But few ever face the kinds of charges they defend. They’ve never stood in your shoes or had the police show up at their door, or spent the night in jail wondering if their life was over. They’ve never had to fight for their own freedom. Andrew Brown has.

After law school, Andrew moved to Colorado and started a CBD company. The business did well at first but eventually struggled. The stress hurt his marriage, and he and his wife separated. At first, the breakup was civil. Then it turned into a bitter fight over money that didn’t exist.

His ex filed a false police report trying to extort him. She accused him of sexual assault and unwanted contact. The claims were completely false. Andrew proved they weren’t even in the same city when it supposedly happened. A jury found him not guilty on all counts. But the damage—emotional and financial—was already done.

Standing Up When Others Back Down

Plea deals are often presented as the path of least resistance—quick, efficient, and less risky. But what happens when that plea comes with long-term damage to a person’s future? A criminal record, immigration consequences, job loss, or the burden of falsely admitting guilt can follow someone for a lifetime. That’s where Pav Law draws the line.

“We don’t let fear dictate justice,” says Founder and Lead Attorney, Andrew Brown. “If a plea will do more harm than good, we don’t recommend it. And if our client is innocent, we will fight tooth and nail to take that case to trial—no matter how much pressure there is to take a plea.”

Trials with a Purpose

At Pav Law, going to trial isn’t just a strategy—it’s a mission. The firm is known for taking on cases that other attorneys might shy away from, cases where standing before a jury is the only real path to justice. Whether it’s a wrongful accusation, an overzealous prosecution, or a situation where a guilty plea would mean giving up everything, Pav Law steps up.

What makes this firm different is not just its willingness to fight, but why it fights. Pav Law operates on a deep belief in human dignity and the power of truth. “We care about our clients, but more than that—we care about people,” says Andrew’s Paralegal, Gabriel. “This isn’t just legal work to us. It’s personal.”

Tough Love, Real Results

Sometimes doing the right thing means having difficult conversations. Pav Law is unapologetically honest with its clients, even when that means pushing them to trial against their instincts.

“We don’t bully. We empower,” explains attorney, Andrew Brown “But if we believe someone is innocent, we’re going to give them every reason—and every resource—to stand up and prove it. Even if they’re scared. Especially if they’re scared.”

That integrity—paired with a relentless commitment to preparation, storytelling, and trial skill—has earned Pav Law a reputation for delivering real justice in a system that too often rewards shortcuts.

The Pav Law Difference

At a time when the criminal justice system can feel impersonal and transactional, Pav Law offers something rare: courage, compassion, and conviction. The firm doesn’t chase easy wins or play the numbers game. It builds real relationships with clients, digs into the details, and goes the distance—because it’s the right thing to do.

Whether you’re facing a first offense or a high-stakes felony charge, if you’re being pressured into a plea that doesn’t feel just, Pav Law is ready to stand beside you. Not for a deal. Not for a shortcut. But for the truth. And that’s a fight worth taking to trial.
