Kevin W. Benninger

Kevin Benninger is a client-centered and skilled trial lawyer who handles all manner of criminal cases, including traffic offenses, homicide, assault, DUI, domestic violence offenses, sex offenses, probation revocations, post-conviction litigation, and all other misdemeanors and felonies. Kevin was recently selected to the 2024 Colorado Rising Stars list, which is reserved for select attorneys who exhibit excellence in practice.

Kevin honed his criminal defense and trial skills in the Colorado Public Defender’s Office while defending indigent individuals charged by the State. Never settling for less than the best for his clients, Kevin litigated hundreds of cases ranging from simple traffic offenses to homicide. This extensive trial experience continues to influence Kevin’s practice today as he is always willing to litigate and do whatever it takes to get the best results for his clients.

Kevin also has significant experience in several different areas of law in order to effectively represent clients in all manner of their lives. Kevin’s client-centered approach means he understands that criminal charges may often be accompanied by other matters outside of the criminal courtroom that have a significant effect on his clients. Therefore, Kevin also represents clients with civil protection order cases, emergency risk protection order (“TERPO”) hearings, dependency and neglect cases, ADA accommodations, and sealing or expungement of criminal records and state-collected DNA.

Kevin is passionate about researching and exploring novel legal issues, and his practice reflects this passion through his extensive litigation and motions practice. Kevin is also a legal analyst with Denver news stations Channel 2 and Fox31, where he is able to provide his insight into ongoing legal matters that catch the attention of the public.

Kevin strongly believes in protecting the Constitutional rights of his clients, and in being a helpful guide to clients as they go through what can often be an extremely difficult and stressful experience. Kevin treats his work of protecting individual rights as a necessity and a calling.
