About Michael

Learn Michael’s areas of practice.

     I believe that Colorado is the greatest state in the union and I work hard to defend its citizens. This is my home too and the key to a healthy democracy is a free citizenry. I handle all manner of criminal cases ranging from misdemeanor traffic to serious felony cases.

   Before entering private practice, I spent over seven years as criminal defense attorney for the Colorado Public Defender. I have represented thousands of clients in all manner of hearings. I have experience with assaults, DUI, probation revocations, domestic violence cases, arson, assaults, aggravated robbery, burglary, motor vehicle theft, marijuana law, possession of controlled substance, distribution of controlled substances, attempted murder, menacing, witness intimidation, sexual assault, indecent exposure, vehicular homicide, escape, and habitual criminal charges. I have successfully litigated trials, preliminary hearings, motions hearings, and bond arguments.

   I handle all types of cases from municipal court to felonies. If you have been charged with a crime call me.

| Hired Attorney
Smart, Strategic, Compassionate and Professional
Mr. Garlan is a remarkable lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients and is affordable!! I (unfortunately) had to use him twice in one calendar year, very stressful time and he put my wife and I at ease. He deeply cared about my case, he cares about me as a person and how I was handling it all. Both times he was completely invested in my case, was easily accessible anytime of day and responded quickly. He was aggressive and got the results in our favor. Thank you Michael for your compassion!!
