DUI

Mike and his wife were the best when he helped my wife through her DUI. Just yesterday he negotiated a great deal with the DA and this nightmare can finally end. We are so thankful to you, Mike.

Brilliant mind and excellent trial skills

Prior to retaining Mike McCullough, I had consulted with three other attorneys who specialize in DUI defense. Upon questioning, I learned that their trial skills are lacking, and they actively encourage clients to accept unfair plea agreements. I kept looking, and I'm glad I did! I refuse t...o accept a plea agreement because I am innocent!. Other attorneys fail to grasp this, and that's why I hired Mike. He fights because you are innocent. Other attorneys say they do, but don't risk your freedom on their lip service. Hire Mike McCullough. I really am innocent, and the whole ordeal of being wrongfully accused of DUI is terrifying. Everyone I know looks at me searchingly, as if to say, "You don't look like a drunk." I'm not! But people are so brainwashed they assume you're guilty. Thanks, overzealous activist organizations. ;-) Honestly, if the public knew how many people charged with DUI are wrongfully accused by quota-hungry LEOs and government officials eager to maximize DUI revenue, women like myself would be feel safe trusting a jury to see through the prosecution's lies. Unfortunately, jury pools are comprised of people who are biased by media propaganda, and would smugly give the lesser-included DWAI to your teetotaling Grandmother. Attorneys like Mike McCullough are heroes. Defending our Constitutional rights takes courage and conviction, and Mike has both. He stood up for me, and his strong personality blew all the prosecution's lies away. Even the jury could see I was innocent. I was acquitted of DUI.

Thanks MIke

Mike did a great job on my case. He was attentive, answered my calls, and helped through a very complicated process. I received the minimum sentence and MIke let me know that he would be available if I needed additional help.

NICE WORK

I got my second DUI in five years. I was certain I was going to jail. The judge I had always put people in jail for a second DUI, especially because my blood alcohol content was a .239. Mike got me 10 days in-home-detention. I would recommend Mike to anyone.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I absolutely endorse this lawyer. I've worked with Mr. McCullough on numerous cases over the past 15 years. I have given him some of my firm's toughest cases and watched him win. On occasion, some people can find Mr. McCullough obnoxious. If you looking for an attorney who will win a personality contest, don't hire him. If you are in trouble and need an attorney who knows how to win a tough case, Mr. McCullough is one of the finest trial attorneys in Denver - especially in front of a jury. Mr. McCullough is both passionate and persuasive. If you want an attorney who is going to fight for your rights, Mr. McCullough fits that bill. Mr. McCullough's clients get 100 cents worth of every dollar they may spend on his services."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2012.

Suspension Stayed Placed on Probation issued in CO, 2012

updated on 03/28/2017

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been disciplined, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with probation requirements.

Michael’s comment:

“This discipline resulted from a former client requesting $2500 back a year after my involvement in the case ended. I offered him $2000, he wanted it all back - because I didnt give it all back, I recieved this grievance.”

Education

1996

University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law
