William Beck
Managing Attorney at Liberty Law Center
I am an experienced and compassionate attorney who has dedicated years to representing good people facing challenging situations. My legal journey began in Colorado Springs where I served as a Deputy District Attorney. More recently, I managed my own private practice. My primary focus has been on supporting individuals during their most critical times, offering compassionate understanding outside of court and assertive negotiations within court proceedings.
I was raised on the east coast in Upstate New York and later moved to the Seattle area during my high school years. I completed my high school education at Puyallup High School in Puyallup, WA. Subsequently, I moved to Utah and Ohio before finally settling in Colorado. My journey took me to Idaho for a while, where I attended and graduated from Brigham Young University – Idaho with a degree in English. I then returned to Colorado to earn my law degree from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
Outside of the courtroom, I cherish spending time with my wife, Linda, and our six children. My hobbies include cooking, playing the guitar (albeit poorly), engaging in games with my kids, reading science fiction and fantasy novels, watching Netflix, and exploring the stunning landscapes of Colorado with my family.

- Q. I’m I in violation of a protection order if I did a welfare check on my wife?
- A: Generally speaking, contacting the police is not a crime. However, it would be best to be extremely cautious if you are dealing with someone who has a protection order against you, as any contact could lead to charges being filed against you. The best intentioned action rarely gets a free pass on breaking the law.
- Q. If I've been convinced of class 5 felony eluding and a misdemeanor 3+ dui, is there a mandatory minimum in Colorado?
- A: There is no mandatory minimum for a class 5 felony eluding charge, but there is a mandatory minimum for a DUI with prior offenses. If you have two or more prior DUI convictions, you will do a minimum of 60 days in the county jail; though many jurisdictions within Colorado require significantly more jail time, often more than 6 months.
- Q. Do I need a criminal defense lawyer to fight an unmarked state trooper's conducts against my 17 yrs old {d} for traffic
- A: Having a knowledgable criminal defense attorney is always helpful, because "you don't know what you don't know". From what you have shared, it seems like there are some good defenses that could be used to help your child avoid a conviction for DUI.
