Client-Centered Representation From Criminal Defense Attorneys With More Than 30 Years of Experience
When you are facing criminal charges, your freedom and your reputation are on the line. It is imperative that you hire an experienced attorney who has the knowledge and skill to advocate on your behalf. Mulligan Breit McConnell, LLC is a premier criminal defense firm based in Denver. We are dedicated to providing clients with high-quality, aggressive defense. Our attorneys understand the severe consequences you may be facing if charged with a Colorado crime, and we will fight for you.
What You Can Expect From Us
Extensive Criminal Law Experience
We are former public defenders who have dedicated their careers to providing the highest level of representation to clients who find themselves navigating the criminal justice system.
Family-Oriented Representation
Patrick and Marshall are cousins. Family is important to us, and we have created a firm that reflects our values and provides outstanding representation that may prove crucial when you or a loved one is facing criminal charges or has already been convicted.
Comprehensive Knowledge
Since its inception, the firm’s multi-layered approach to criminal defense has been its cornerstone. We have the uncommon experience to handle the most complicated cases at each stage of the judicial process — at the trial level, at the appellate level and through post-conviction proceedings.
Expert litigation in DUI, first-degree murder, post-conviction litigation, and everything in between.
Protecting Clients’ Rights at All Stages of the Judicial Process
Our criminal defense attorneys represent clients at every step of the criminal law process, including:
Trials
You are innocent unless the prosecution proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you committed the crime. This concept is the foundation of the American justice system. We hold prosecutors to the highest standards, and we have been very successful in obtaining complete dismissals during the preliminary stages of cases. In cases that proceed to trial, we have secured countless victories on behalf of our clients in matters ranging from driving under the influence (DUI) to first-degree murder. While marijuana is now legal in Colorado, we have extensive experience defending drug crime charges involving other narcotics, such as cocaine and heroin.
Appeals
If you are convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison, you should consider an appeal to have your case reviewed by a higher court. When we represent you at trial, we diligently preserve issues related to judicial errors for appeal, and we are prepared to file a brief promptly. Many criminal defense lawyers only take cases up to the trial stage. If you have been convicted of a criminal offense, we urge you to promptly let us review your case to determine if you have appealable issues so you do not miss the filing deadline.
Post-conviction litigation
Even if you have exhausted your appellate options, you may still have an opportunity for post-conviction relief. Founding partner Patrick Mulligan is considered one of Colorado’s leading authorities in complex Rule 35(c) litigation and post-conviction proceedings. Our firm is one of only a handful in the state that pursues this important means of having a conviction overturned.
We have the experience, the knowledge and the resources to handle any criminal matter at any stage of the legal process.
