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.

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

Best lawyer you can ask for!!

I interviewed some of the top name attorneys in Denver to represent me on my DUI case. I knew immediately after sitting down with Dave that he was the man to entrust with my case. As an owner of a construction company, my truck is my office, and the possibility of losing my license and my income wa...s very real. Dave met and exceeded my highest expectations. He either personally answered all calls, or would return the message same day. As a business owner myself, I know that is much easier said than done. I even received copies of briefs he was working on late Friday nights, in my inbox waiting for me first thing Saturday morning!! It was obvious in our courtroom dealings that he was known, well connected, and respected by the judge. I once dealt with another defense attorney in the past, and the experience was terrible, as a matter of fact it was a complete ripoff and for a time made me despise all attorneys. You don't have to ask around much to hear horror stories about lawyers. Dave was completely different, and I could tell that about him from the minute I shook his hand upon meeting him. On top of all that, he got just the ruling I needed...CASE DISMISSED!! I can't say enough praise about Dave Suro and I will be ever grateful I was lucky enough to have come across him in a time of dire need.

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."
