About David

Biography

Former prosecutor and experienced trial lawyer now specializing in Personal Injury, Criminal Law and Criminal Defense, and DUI law.

Charged with a crime in Colorado? Former district attorney and trial lawyer for more than 20 years.

Former prosecutor and experienced trial attorney, I have had incredible results defending DUI and DUID cases.

Call me if you're charged with domestic violence (DV). Former DA and experienced trial attorney.

I am an experienced trial lawyer, and have tried hundreds of cases to jury. As a personal injury lawyer, I bring actual trial skills to an area where most personal injury lawyers seldom or never go to trial. This is a true advantage in all aspects of a personal injury or slip-and-fall case.

Hard working and competent

I hired Mr. Suro on a personal injury case. The insurance company of the person at fault significantly undervalued my claim. David was able to get me over four times what they initially offered. It took a couple of years, but he stayed on them for a very satisfactory result. He kept me posted on the ...progress of the claim at regular intervals and was very professional. Once the insurance company paid, he had my money to me in less than a week. Highly recommended.

Dedicated & Proffesional Attorney

I was David's client for two years while we navigated through a frustrating and tedious personal injury case. It was immediately clear that David knew what he was doing in the legal sense, but also understood the personal aspect to a life changing event like a major personal injury. He was by my side... the whole time and became something like a partner very quickly. I always felt like we were "in it together". He went out of his way to ensure I understood the process, what would happen next, and what his recommended strategy was each step of the way. Additionally, he went out of his way to make sure my wife was included, also knew what to expect, etc. - he is clearly a good family man who understands what life changing events can do to a family. Ultimately, we reached a favorable closure to my case, and I credit David as the reason why. I would strongly recommend David Suro from the bottom of my heart to anyone needing an attorney. He is truly outstanding!!

Thank you

David saved my career. His attentiveness to my case exceeded my expectations when you walk into court with him you see how well known and respected he is. On top of that he is a great guy. I found David on this website and I'm saying from personal experience he is the guy you want

Great Man, Great Lawyer and a very Respectful Human-being

My wife and I have been around for a number of years. We first met Dave and his wife a couple of weeks after their first child was born. While eating at a sushi restaurant Dave and his lovely wife walked in with baby during the busiest rush hour. My wife and I were sitting at a table for two. While s...tanding there waiting to be seated it was something about them. I can't explain what it was, but it seem to have been a God Send. My wife and I looked at each other and without speaking I turned and ask Dave if they wanted to sit with us and they accepted. Not knowing his profession and he mine we had a wonder evening at that table so small that it bearly held one place setting. And not knowing we would ever cross pasts again, howerver we did after our son informed us that he had hired an attorney to represent him in a felony case. Upon appearing in court there was Dave. The case did not take very long nor did it take very long to determine if our son was being well represented. You could tell from the "getgo" that our son was being represented by the best of the best...Wonderful Dave!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 28

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. David is a fantastic criminal defense attorney. He was a very difficult attorney to try cases against when I was a prosecutor, because he was so eloquent and had such an excellent rapport with jurors. Some attorneys are just incredible trial attorneys and David has that special skill. He is also a very assertive advocate for his clients and is incredibly knowledgable about all aspects of criminal law. He would be an excellent advocate for you."
