Attorney Remote Disposition Process

Share this page:

The Colorado Springs City Attorney’s Office- Prosecution Division in conjunction with the Colorado Springs Municipal Court, have implemented multiple methods to handle qualifying TRAFFIC cases remotely with defense counsel.
- Defense attorneys may elect to pursue a remote pretrial conference where a plea offer is agreed upon prior to the in-person entry of the plea.
- Defense attorneys may elect to pursue an entirely remote disposition where a plea offer is agreed upon via email, and the plea is entered on the record without the appearance of either the defendant or defense counsel.
In order to pursue a remote process, DEFENSE COUNSEL must fill out the form below. Please note, represented defendants may not fill out this form on their own, it must be completed by defense counsel.
If Defense counsel has not entered their appearance then they must attach an entry of appearance to this request
For further information and instructions on the process for remote attorney dispositions please see the instruction document.
Discovery: The Discovery Process has NOT changed. In order to request discovery, defense counsel must follow standard procedures. The remote discovery request form can be accessed here.
Additional Information:
- Please be aware that motions practice, extensive pretrial negotiation, or trials cannot be resolved remotely. In those instances, in person appearance is required.
- Remote plea offers still require a $25.00 court cost assessment in addition to any fines and/or surcharges.
- Submission of a Remote Disposition Request Form DOES NOT vacate, continue, or stay any previously scheduled court appearance. Defense Attorneys are responsible for managing required court appearances, and either properly requesting a continuance or appearing in person to handle the matter.

Communication on all Attorney Remote Disposition Requests MUST come solely from the attorney and/or their firm. Communication cannot come directly from the defendant, and prosecution staff will not respond in any way to any communication from represented clients.
