  • About Barre

    Dedicated Criminal Defense Attorney

    Barre was born and raised in Morton Grove, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. After graduating from Maine East High School, he attended the University of Illinois, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting with highest honors, followed by certification as a Certified Public Accountant (Barre is not presently licensed as a CPA.).

    After receiving his undergraduate's degree, Barre attended the University of Illinois, College of Law, and was awarded the Order of the Coif, an honor given only to the top 10% of the class. While attending law school, he taught undergraduate accounting classes at the university. He graduated in 1975.

    In 1976, Barre was hired by the reputable firm of Dawson, Nagel, Sherman & Howard, and was transferred to Denver. During this time, Barre was admitted to the Colorado Bar. He then moved to Boulder and clerked for the Honorable William Neighbors.

    His invaluable experience with Judge Neighbors led to an associate position in the Law Office of E. Gregory Martin, P.C. After a couple of years as an associate in the firm, Barre went into private practice. Shortly thereafter, he formed the firm Thorburn & Sakol, which later became Thorburn, Sakol & Throne. When that firm disbanded, he started Barre M. Sakol, P.C.

    Barre is committed to protecting the rights and futures of the criminally accused. He dedicates himself to providing the highest quality legal representation to each client, both in and out of the courtroom. He understands that the people who come to him seeking help are going through highly stressful times, and he ensures every client receives the hard-hitting, customized defense he or she deserves.

    Barre has earned an AV Preeminent® Rating from Martindale-Hubbell® for legal ability and ethical standards, and has maintained that prestigious rating for over 24 years. This is a rating based on the reviews of his peers, judges and fellow attorneys.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will I go to jail if I was arrested?

    Answer:

    No, not necessarily. Although each county may have slightly different booking processes, you may be placed in a holding cell until you have been read your official charges during your arraignment (first hearing before a judge). A jail or prison sentence can only be brought if you have been found guilty and convicted, or if you have plead to a lesser charge with a jail sentence involved.

  • If I’m not guilty, why do I need a lawyer?

    Answer:

    At Barre M. Sakol, P.C., we always assume our clients to be innocent until proven guilty, and we will always represent them as such. Even if you know that you are not guilty, you will be facing off against highly trained Prosecutors and District Attorneys. It is their primary motivation to utilize the State’s resources to obtain a conviction and penalize you accordingly.

  • How are misdemeanors & felonies different?

    Answer:

    Criminal offenses can be categorized in multiple ways, and this includes misdemeanor charges and felony charges. Misdemeanor offenses are typically considered to be lesser offenses, and typically result in a jail time sentence of less than 1 year. On the other hand, felonies are much more severe and can carry a lengthy prison sentence of 1 year or more.

  • What are my rights after an arrest?

    Answer:

    We believe that knowledge can be the strongest defense. If you have been arrested, know that you have the right to remain silent and you have the right to request an attorney. Both of these things (also known as your Miranda Rights) ultimately protect your 5th Amendment Right to avoid self-incrimination.

Rights That Are in Jeopardy After Serving Time

  • Loss of eligibility to apply for financial aid for college
  • Security clearance for certain professions such as teaching, working with children, or security
  • Voting privileges
  • Parenting rights can be taken away including custody & visiting rights
  • Loss of 2nd Amendment right to legally obtain or possess firearms
  • Cannot obtain a passport or a visa for entry into certain countries
  • Convicts are pulled into police line-ups as a potential suspect
