Jimmy Litle is the COO and Managing Attorney of Right Law Group. As a Colorado native, Jimmy attended high school in Lakewood where he graduated as the valedictorian and earned all-league and all-state honors in baseball and football. After high school, Jimmy attended the University of Colorado at Boulder where he received his bachelor’s degree in communication with a minor in business administration. While at CU, Jimmy received a number of academic accolades including Dean’s List recognition and membership in several honor societies. Jimmy was also a member of Alpha Gamma Omega Christian Fraternity and served three terms as an executive officer, including two terms as president. After graduation, Jimmy spent time working in sales and customer service for Grainger, Inc., a Fortune 500 company.
After deciding to pursue a career in the law, Jimmy moved to Malibu, California to attend Pepperdine University’s School of Law. While at Pepperdine Law, Jimmy found a passion for criminal law and trial work which became the focus of his academics as he completed every class in criminal law and trial advocacy that Pepperdine Law offered. To build upon his academic knowledge, Jimmy accepted an internship at the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office where he spent time in the office’s Family Violence, Preliminary Hearing, and Civil Asset Forfeiture units. Jimmy graduated from Pepperdine Law with his Juris Doctorate and a certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution from the top-ranked Strauss Institute for ADR.
After graduation, Jimmy returned home to Colorado to start his professional career which began at one of the largest personal injury firms in Colorado. While practicing personal injury law, Jimmy fought against insurance companies as he sought full and fair compensation on behalf of hundreds of injured clients. While personal injury law provided significant career satisfaction, Jimmy began to miss the world of criminal law, so he accepted a position as a prosecutor in one of the largest district attorney offices in Colorado.
As a D.A., Jimmy gained invaluable trial experience and training in all areas of criminal law, and he prosecuted thousands of misdemeanor and felony cases including Assault, Harassment, DUI, Hit and Run, Domestic Violence, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Auto-Theft, Vehicular Assault, Robbery, Adult and Child Sexual Assault, and Homicide. Jimmy was also assigned to the office’s Vehicular Assault and Homicide Teams, and he was the Lead Prosecutor for the Vehicular Homicide Unit. Additionally, Jimmy worked as the office’s liaison to various community and law enforcement groups including CSPD’s Major Crash Unit, K9 Unit, and Downtown Area Response Team.
After leaving the D.A.’s office, Jimmy joined the Right Law Group as a Managing Attorney and Chief Operating Officer. As a member of the Right Law team, he handles all types of criminal defense cases including traffic cases, domestic violence, DUIs, and felonies. Jimmy’s philosophy as a defense attorney is to utilize his years of criminal law experience to protect the rights of our clients and to counsel them while he works toward the favorable resolution of their cases.
In his free time, Jimmy enjoys spending time in the mountains with his fiancée and their two dogs and cheering for his beloved Colorado Buffaloes.
At Right Law Group, we understand the stress you are under. Our Criminal Defense Law Firm is here to guide you down the right path to your legal challenge. Whether you are facing your first DUI, a drug charge, need a restraining order, or are facing another type of criminal charge, our firm is committed to your well-being and protecting your rights the right way.
If you have been arrested, the first thing you should do is exercise your right to remain silent. The next thing you should do is contact a Colorado Springs DUI attorney or criminal defense lawyer.
This cost ultimately depends on the seriousness of your charges and whether you go to trial. Costs typically are outlined in the representation agreement and require a client to pay a retainer, fixed fee or hourly cost. Top legal representation can still be affordable using payment plans and a fixed fee schedule. At Right Law Group, we offer both.
Generally, the best time to hire a criminal defense attorney is right at the beginning of your case. Judges hate delays, so if you can show up to your first hearing with an attorney ready to represent you, the process begins as smoothly as possible, and you are prepared right from the beginning.
The first thing you want to make sure of is that the attorney you choose has the experience you need. Attorneys are licensed by the state, but there is no specific license for each area of law. Lawyers choose how they want to specialize. You do not want a “generalist” lawyer, i.e. someone who lists all kinds of practice areas on their homepage. If you needed heart surgery, you would want a specialized heart surgeon, not someone who says they do heart surgery, chiropractic work, allergy work, cosmetic surgery, and general medicine, right? It’s the same with lawyers. In order to get the best outcome for your case, you should choose an attorney who has specific experience dealing with your charges.
This one is simple. Pick up the phone, send us a text, fill out a form, or talk to us on live chat right now to start the process and get a free, no-obligation case evaluation.
