"An effective criminal defense lawyer almost always has at least three attributes: (1) ample trial experience in local courts; (2) good working relationships with local prosecuting attorneys; and (3) a good reputation in the local criminal defense bar. Michael has all these attributes. He is on a very short list of experienced Colorado lawyers to whom I will refer prospective criminal defense clients. I endorse him unreservedly."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
