Andrea Panetta Associate Attorney

Philosophy

When you’re facing criminal charges—whether it’s a DUI, domestic violence allegation, or felony drug case—your whole world can feel like it’s crashing down. You need someone who gets it, who knows the terrain, and who’s not afraid to fight for you. That’s where criminal defense attorney Andrea Panetta comes in. 

Background

Andrea is a seasoned criminal attorney with years of experience as a Deputy District Attorney in Eagle County. She’s handled hundreds of cases, from county court DUIs and assaults to serious felony matters like burglary, drug distribution, and vehicular homicide. She’s taken dozens of cases to trial and knows how prosecutors think—because she used to be one. 

Before stepping into the courtroom, Andrea clerked at the Arizona Court of Appeals, where she worked behind the scenes on complex legal issues and helped shape appellate decisions. That appellate training sharpened her ability to spot legal flaws, make strong arguments, and anticipate the next move. Today, she brings all of that firepower to her defense work—breaking down the evidence, building smart strategies, and guiding her clients through the storm with steady hands. 

Advocacy

Clients count on Andrea for her honest advice, strategic instincts, and fierce protection of their rights. She doesn’t sugarcoat things, but she’s always in your corner—walking you through every step of the process with clarity, confidence, and compassion. 

Outside of the Courtroom

When she’s not in court, Andrea is usually skiing, biking, cooking, or chasing after her two Aussie Shepherds, Pablo and Mojo.
