Best criminal lawyer in the state of Colorado

Colin and his team are amazing, supportive and thorough. Colin understands the system, he knows how it works and keeps pressing for justice. Knowing I was innocent , falsely accused victim of a wicked divorce, he attacked as he could. Case dismissed. Long process, that I will never understand, ho...wever; one that he knows all to well and was a true blessing of calm and patience. I would most highly recommend Colin Bresee, I wouldn't trust anyone but him. And his Team. Bless you !

The best Criminal Attorney in Colorado..HANDS DOWN!

My daughter needed a lawyer, and I hired Colin. He was to the point, kept me totally informed. He did an excellent job on her case, and provided her with the best possible legal counseling. She had a wonderful outcome of her case. I couldn't have been happier, and would highly recommend him to anyone... who have a complicated case. Thank you Colin!

A miracle

I had multiple felonies in multiple counties. I was an addict. The public defender worked out a 12 year prison sentence. I have a family, kids a life. I know what a real lawyer is, and who is just trying to get my money! I spent the money on M. Colin Bresee and I NEVER went to jail or prison. I... got a short probation. I owe my life to Colin!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
