"Each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done." — Bryan Stevenson
Casey Krizman built Krizman Law for one purpose: to be the law firm you call when everything is on the line. When the charges are serious. When the stakes are life-altering. When you need someone who will fight harder than anyone else in the room.
Krizman Law handles the heaviest cases in Colorado criminal defense: murders, sex assaults, violent felonies, and serious drug offenses. This is not a firm for minor matters. This is a firm built for the cases that matter most.
As a former public defender, Mr. Krizman brings rare insider knowledge of the criminal justice system: how prosecutors think, how cases are built, and exactly where to attack. He has spent his entire career mastering the craft of criminal defense, and he brings that mastery to every single client.
A Colorado native, Mr. Krizman graduated from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, where he was a member of the prestigious National Trial Team. He holds a bachelor's degree in Government and World Affairs from the University of Tampa and completed the Program on Negotiation Mastery at Harvard Business School.
Outside the courtroom, Mr. Krizman competes as an Ironman triathlete and has coached trial advocacy at the high school, undergraduate, and law school levels. He is married and the father of one son, Atticus.
Prior to joining the Colorado Bar, Mr. Krizman clerked for renowned defense attorneys Michael S. Axt and Randy C. Canney.

An Invaluable Lawyer who truly cares!
Casey went above and beyond for me. During a time when I was erratic and unable to even think clearly sometimes because my world was spinning from false accusations, Casey managed to not only keep me calm and focused but also was very reassuring about his dedication to my case.

Great Attorney
I was given a list of lawyers to call from the court house so my initial expectations weren’t very high at all. After calling a few my husband and I decided to go with Casey. When I spoke with him, he was very genuine and I knew this consultation wasn’t about money for him. As a lawyer, he was extrem...
