About Robert
Biography
I was admitted to the practice of Law in 1974. In the 44 years since then I have devotedmy career to representing folks who have been put upon by the powers of the State and Federal Government. My clients most often face the loss of their property, freedom as well as the Death Pemalty. I work tirelessly to protect them against the inexhaustible resourse of the government and get them home safe as quickly as possible.
I was a bad alcoholic and cocaine abuser for a number of years. Through good luck and tremendoul outpouring of love and support from my family, friends and the profession I have been given reprieve from that hell for close to 15 years. Now in my life and work I am well suited to understand and advocate for those who are still suffering the consequences of their bad choices and addictions. I devote as much time and energy as it takes to be of assistance to suffering members of my profession.
I am an avid skier. I was a member of the National Ski Patrol when I was In College. I was a ski racer and a member of the USSA for many years.
I am an avid horseman. I have been a member of the Roundup Riders of the Rockies for a number of years. I have played polo for 30 years and a member of the USPA . I have been a mounted fox hunter for 30 years and member of the MFHA. I also enjoy show jumping.
I am an avid hunter. My favorite is upland game. I also enjoy Mountain hiking and climbing.
I enjoy restoring old cars.
I owned and operated a working Navaho Churro sheep ranch in San Miguel county New Mexico for 20 years.

Bob Driscoll did a great job for us
One of our children was almost dead from drug and alcohol abuse and had criminal problems as well. Robert was a Godsend -- he responded immediately, was very knowledgeable about the issues and the people involved in the potential prosecution, and eased our minds with true expertise and human compass...

Robert Justin Driscoll's Lawyer Endorsements
"I am proud to recommend Bob Driscoll. I handle primarily large scale drug cases and 10 years ago was lucky enough to get a recommendation from a colleague who said Bob was the guy to get as local counsel. I associated him in on my case then and have been fortunate enough to have several more cases in the Denver area where I have asked him to associate in with me. Based on my experience with Bob, I can tell you he IS the real deal; knows everybody on the bench and bar; opened all the right doors for me; has a great ability to be hands on with the client and can handle any part of the case as well as I can. I have total confidence in him and you will too. If you want to discuss his qualifications or basis for my recommending him feel free to call my cell at (714) 323-3300."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Driscoll's personal and professional experiences have given him the perspective and compassion necessary to both connect personally with his clients and also represent them zealously before the courts. He does not back down from a fight, but he also has the wisdom to avoid unnecessary conflict. That is a skill possessed by few lawyers and a valuable asset."
"Bob Driscoll is one of the most hard-working criminal defense lawyers I know. His trial skills and dedication to his clients are exemplary and I highly recommend him as an experienced criminal defense attorney."
"Bob Driscoll is an outstanding attorney in whom I have complete trust and for whom I have the highest regard. I have asked Bob to co-counsel on sensitive matters involving potential criminal or administrative investigations of professionals I represent. His work is prompt, efficient, and of the highest quality. I endorse him without reservation. Greg Perczak"
"Mr. Driscoll is extremely conscientious, hard-working and is imbued with professional ideals and principles. In my opinion, he is one of the best criminal lawyers in Colorado."
"I endorse this lawyer. Robert is very experienced in the area of criminal defense. He is a fearless advocate for those accused of crimes. Robert has an extremely creative legal mind and expertly crafts defenses in complex, serious cases. I have had the pleasure of working with him on several cases and am repeatedly impressed by his dedication to his clients and his commitment to protecting their rights."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Robert for over 35 years. I am aware of his past problems with drugs and alcohol, and I have witnessed his success, years ago, in overcoming those addictions. Robert is one of the most capable, ethical, intelligent, and hardworking lawyers I know. Since I do not practice in the area of criminal defense, I regularly refer clients with those kinds of issues to him. I recommend him without reservation."
"When friends and colleagues call to ask who I recommend, I confidently give them Robert’s number because I know with Robert they will get the highest quality representation. Robert’s years of experience mean not just that he knows the law and he knows how to get things done, but he also knows how to work with people. Robert is an attorney and counselor in the true sense of the profession – he doesn’t simply represent clients, Robert advises his clients on the possibilities and works with them to determine what course is best. I’ve known Robert for almost ten years and recommend him without reservation."
"I enthusiastically endorse Mr. Driscoll as a Criminal Defense and Immigration attorney. RJ is one of the most stand-up, honest, and forthright persons I have ever had the pleasure of working with. As a new attorney, RJ took me under his wing and mentored me even though he did not have to. His professionalism, dedication, and passion are remarkable. He is a man who cares deeply about his clients, and will work tirelessly for them. RJ has a unique outlook on life that drives him. He is one of the sharpest attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and his passion in a closing argument is second to none. He truly cares. Simply put, RJ is hands down, one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. I cannot recommend him enough."

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1992.
Indefinite Suspension issued in IA, 1992
updated on 04/10/2015Suspended indefinitely means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for an unknown period of time. The attorney will need to re-apply for admission to the Bar if he or she intends to resume practice in the future.
Suspension issued in CO, 1992
updated on 03/28/2017Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
Robert’s comment:
“The issues that came to light in my suspension proceedings in 1992 were a gift to me. That event ultimately opened the door for me from alcohol and drugs to which I had been bound. I have since then been able to use my own experience to help other people and families recover from and make right the harms caused by their errors.”
Censure issued in CO, 1986
updated on 02/11/2014This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Robert’s comment:
“As I noted above, I struggled with and lost the battle with alcohol and drugs for a decade prior to 1992. Thank goodness for that suspension and the recovery that followed.”
