Do You Need Legal Help?
Bridgette Carabajal
I've had the pleasure of working with Mr. Hanchey on two occasions, and each interaction has been nothing short of exceptional. His professional demeanor, coupled with the outstanding support from his staff significantly alleviated any anxieties I had. I am thoroughly satisfied with the outcomes achieved. Should the need for legal representation arise in the future, Mr. Hanchey will undoubtedly be my first choice.

Mark Hanchey has been excellent. I spoke with him last minute before my court date. He still showed up to court with me and was very caring and helped me before I had even officially hired him. I felt like he cared about me and my case. He knows his craft very well and you can tell that the judge and other attorneys respect him when he is in court. He is also very kind. I recommend him to anyone. An excellent attorney.

I had an amazing experience with the Hanchey Law Firm! Mr. Hanchey got me the absolute best result I could have imagined for my case. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve heard, “wow, you must have had a really good lawyer!” when discussing the result. I live far from Colorado Springs, but I will forever make the trip for this firm when I need them! Highly recommend!

I have needed to use a lawyer a couple of times over the past several years and have used Mark Hanchey. He is a very down to earth person who has always treated me with dignity and has always been straight forward. His staff has also been professional and friendly. Each time I used Mark Hanchey the result was a positive one. I also think his fees are reasonable. I cant say enough good about Mark Hanchey.

Colorado Springs Sealing of Records Lawyers
Colorado law allows for the sealing of some criminal records under very specific and limited circumstances. The first thing one should understand concerning Sealing of Records is that sealing is virtually never allowed in cases in which a conviction has actually been suffered. Instead, Colorado law allows for the Sealing of Records in instances involving cases which have been dismissed prior or Trial, cases which resulted in a full acquittal at Trial, or cases that have been dismissed pursuant to a Plea Agreement both in which the Plea Agreement has not called for the Defendant to waive his or her right to come back in and ask for Sealing of Records at some point in the future. Under some limited circumstances, Drug convictions can potentially be sealed as well.
Sealing of Records puts a former Criminal Defendant in a situation in which the record of his or her case will be sealed from view from all but a very select group of people such as Law Enforcement agencies and Court personnel having an otherwise legitimate reason to review the record.
The Law Firm of Mark S. Hanchey and Ben Peterson handles not only the Sealing of Records for substantive cases which we have successfully handled and have had dismissed or have won acquittals at Trial, but we also handle numerous cases every year for people who have old cases for which we did not represent them originally and who now wish to come back in and request Sealing of Records.
Our firm is successful in having the record sealed in over ninety percent of those cases for which we file Petitions to Seal
