Aggressive, Client-Centered Advocacy based on 50 years of collective experience.
We have spent our entire careers fighting to protect our clients’ rights. It is our calling. It is our highest responsibility. With more than 50 years of combined criminal defense and civil rights experience, we are uniquely positioned to handle the most serious and challenging cases. Our results speak for themselves.
Our firm philosophy and composition is unique. We are a small firm. We carry small caseloads by design. That allows us to be nimble, attentive, and extremely aggressive. Our select clients are “Firm” clients. We pool our collective knowledge, experience, and resources to obtain the best possible outcome in each case.
While we specialize in complex criminal and civil rights litigation – homicide, sexual assault, mental health, and domestic violence cases – we represent clients in all types of cases big or small. We are equipped to bring our expertise to bare in any matter involving your rights. We handle cases in every jurisdiction throughout Colorado, appearing in municipal courts, state courts, the court of appeals, the Colorado Supreme Court, and federal court.
As the only firm in Colorado that focuses on each stage of the rights process, we have the unique skill set to provide a comprehensive approach to any case whether that is a pre-file investigation, trial court case, appeal, post-conviction or ineffective assistance of counsel (Rule 35c) claim, or civil rights matter.
What You Can Expect From Us
Extensive Criminal and Civil Rights Litigation Experience
We have tried hundreds of jury trials and secured countless not guilty verdicts on behalf of our clients throughout the state of Colorado. Through our appellate and post-conviction practice, we have had dozens of life and virtual life sentences overturned. We have also secured large and justified financial awards for our clients whose civil rights have been violated.
A Comprehensive, Multi-Tiered Approach
As a small firm that brings our collective expertise, skill sets, and resources to bare in every case, we can truly say we are unique. We have the tools to implement a comprehensive multi-tiered strategy that is second to none. Our connections within the Colorado legal community are extensive. We have long-standing relationships with the best and most respected experts. Leveraging these resources results in phenomenal outcomes for our clients time and time again.
Expertise in Mental Health
Mental health is an underlying factor in many criminal cases. Clients with mental health considerations are some of the most vulnerable in the criminal justice system. We have a personal commitment to these clients and a special aptitude in handling these cases. We understand how mental health impacts an individual’s actions, which is something that is often overlooked and ignored by prosecutors and judges. While mental health is complicated and often misunderstood, we are personally committed to helping these clients navigate the system and achieving the right outcome.
