Firm Overview

Our Denver Criminal Defense Law Firm Fights for JUSTICE

Firm Background

We began our careers as public defenders. We each chose that route because we were passionate about criminal defense and specifically, protecting our clients’ rights from government infringement.

Thirty-five years later and very little has changed. We joined forces and formed this firm based on the common goal of providing the best, most aggressive and comprehensive representation possible. Our fire for justice and protecting the rights of our clients burns as brightly as ever.

We believe that our respective skill sets and areas of expertise set us apart from other firms. Our practice is comprehensive in that we handle:

• Pre-File Investigations (Client is under investigation. A decision about charges has not been made);
• Criminal defense at the trial level in every municipal, state, and federal court;
• Appeals of criminal convictions;
• Post-Conviction or Rule 35c / Ineffective of Assistance of Counsel Claims;
• Civil Rights Claims.

In his 30 plus years of practice, Patrick Mulligan has become one of the most respected appellate and post-conviction attorneys not only in the state of Colorado but nationwide.

Marshall Breit was born and raised in Denver. He is widely regarded as a top sexual assault litigation attorney throughout the state.

What sets us apart is that we handle cases at each phase of the judicial process. This allows us to give you complete options for defending your rights. Lawyers with extensive experience in the following areas are best positioned to assist you in your case:

Trials

We provide a strong criminal defense for clients accused of crimes. We engage in strategic plea negotiations with prosecutors when appropriate and prepare for every case as though we intend to take it to trial. We work with a team when required to comprehensively tackle the issues presented. In the courtroom, we present a thorough, persuasive case to the jury and judge.

Appeals

We present persuasive appeals for clients who are found guilty at trial. If we represent you at the trial stage, we are prepared to file your brief immediately. If another attorney defended you in a trial, we review your transcripts to determine whether appealable issues were preserved.

Post-conviction litigation

Rule 35(c) litigation is based on a Colorado statute that gives you the chance to pursue another trial if you are convicted and your appeals are exhausted. Popularly referred to as habeas corpus, post-conviction relief proceedings are crucial if you face a long prison sentence or the death penalty for a major felony.

Civil Rights Litigation

You do not have to be charged with a crime for your civil rights to be violated. Our expert litigation experience, knowledge of the justice system, and understanding of the constitutional rights of our clients puts us in a unique position to vindicate our client’s rights in a civil lawsuit. We bring our extensive criminal law experience to civil rights cases, especially those involving the wrongful actions of law enforcement and police.
