Exceptional and insightful knowledge - The RIGHT choice...

Patrick came highly recommended as a top lawyer who has a lot of intergrity. He's an attorney who knows the law and quickly researchs issues that he may not be as fimiliar with. Patrick took our son's case when he assualted someone. Our son faced several charges; including attempted 1st degree mur...der. Patrick went to visit him in the county jail and immediately observed and believed something was wrong with his demeanor. Because of Patrick's familiarity with human behavior and knowledge regarding people in custody after his visit with our son, he recommended our son be immediately evaluated by a doctor. This lead to several doctors evaluating him and our son being diagnosed with a severe mental illness. Due to our son's diagnosis Patrick was able to begin discussing a strategy for our son's case and built a winning team to assist in his court case. Patrick was very honest regarding what we were facing as a family, including the charges, the time frame of the case in each scenario, and the financial aspect. We were impressed with Patrick's assentiveness in learning everything he could regarding our son's mental illness to better serve him in his criminal case. During the entire case Patrick was available for our son and our family. As a family there was never a time we felt like Patrick wasn't available or that we didn't know what was happening in our son's case. Patrick is dependable and his communication was more than exceptional rather it was in person, telephone or email. He always knew where we were in our son's case and the next steps in the legal process. Patrick knows the law. Our son was more than a case for Patrick and he fought for our son's life, rights and his freedom. We would recommend Patrick to anyone. Our son pleaded Not Guilty By Reason Of Insanity and won!

"Although Mr. Mulligan will likely not remember me, he stands out as one of the best criminal defense attorneys I have ever met. He is incredibly intelligent, has a keen grasp of all aspects of criminal law, and is one of the most eloquent speakers that I have ever seen in court. I encountered him as a prosecutor with the Arapahoe County DA's Office. I am a former county court judge, former prosecutor, and an attorney with 24 years of experience and I would recommend Mr. Mulligan to everyone and anyone who needs a top notch attorney to assist them."
