TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAW FIRM IN COLORADO, HANDLES ALL CRIMINAL, WHITE-COLLAR, AND REGULATORY MATTERS. OVER 100 5-STAR ONLINE REVIEWS. OUR TALENT, DRIVE AND DETERMINATION HAS LED TO WINNING THOUSANDS OF CASES FOR OVER 25 YEARS.

Ken Eichner is a prominent attorney known for his courtroom skills and his ability to effectively
tell his clients unique stories. He specializes in defending individuals and companies in high-
stakes, nationally profiled state and federal prosecutions, as well as government investigations.
With a background as a former prosecutor, Ken has a wide range of experience defending
individuals and companies in often high-stakes, nationally profiled state and federal
prosecutions and government investigations. Ken, a former prosecutor, is best known for his
courtroom skills and ability to tell each client’s unique story. His practice runs the gamut from a
robust county court jury trial docket to defending enforcement actions brought by local
prosecutors as well as the Colorado Office of the Attorney General and the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ).
Ken mounted a formidable defense and successfully blocked indictments relating to the Clinton
email investigation, and represented the former Secretary of State’s Denver-based server
company at the subsequent congressional hearing in Washington, D.C. That same year, he also
obtained dismissals of sexual assault charges against four individuals. In 2018 he represented a
witness in the congressional hearing related to allegations against United States Supreme Court
Justice Brett Kavanaugh. In 2019, the firm won $2.7 million, the largest verdict in Colorado
history in a defamation jury trial stemming from a person of color’s wrongful imprisonment for
one night in jail. In 2022 Ken helped facilitate dozens of dismissals in county, state, and federal
court – including cases involving IRS grand jury investigations, domestic violence, gun
violations, PPP fraud allegations, and a national security allegation. Having tried over 500 bench
trials and 150 jury trials, Ken lends his expertise and sits on the advisory board of LYRIC (Learn
Your Rights in the Community), a social justice platform that teaches teens their constitutional
rights. LYRIC’s transformative vision: that raising awareness about individual rights will reduce
the number of unnecessary arrests and subsequent traumas that often occur.

 

Former prosecutor, Kenneth F. Eichner, is one of Colorado’s premier criminal defense lawyers. Ken has practiced in the county, state, and federal courts for more than 25 years and has tried hundreds of cases to verdict. Regardless of the severity of the charge – Ken and his team provide the expertise his clients need to make the best choice in deciding whether to go to trial or make a deal. For Ken and his team of relentless investigators, determined legal researchers, and accomplished experts, no case is too tough and no case is treated as routine. Their success of the firm hinges on an extraordinarily thorough review of the evidence, and deep expertise and skill in trial litigation. Eichner Law dedicates its full concentration and resources to achieving the best possible outcomes.

Great methodology, great results
I hired the Eichner law firm for a case that would have completely derailed my career. Kate, Ken and their team pulled the case apart, applied their analytical and interpersonal skills with the DA’s office and got the case dismissed. If you are facing something serious this is the firm to go to. I know they’ll be my first call if I’m ever in need of legal counsel. Can’t say enough good things about these guys!

THE ULTIMATE POWER BROKERS: SAVED MY SKIN
I was charged with a felony COCCA case that completely spiraled out of control. At 23 years old I could’ve been facing the majority of my life in prison. I hired Ken Eichner and his legal team to deal with this case that got more complicated than I’d ever dreamed. He got the case dismissed through great research and negotiation. Thanks to Ken and his team I am now able to move on with my life. Highly recommend.

A real life saver
I reached out to several lawyers prior to obtaining Ken as my lawyer. It was clear from our first phone conversation that he was the guy for the job. My life was greatly impacted by a false allegation made by an angry ex friend and I literally saw my life drastically changing for the worst right before my eyes. Ken and his team, Kate and Paige, picked up my case and began working tirelessly towards achieving the best outcome for me. While Ken did not promise an end result, he promised that he would fight hard for the best outcome for me. Ken and Kate were able to weave through all of the obstacles to get us out unscathed. My charge was DISMISSED thanks to Ken and his amazing team of professionals. Not only did the Eichner Law Firm save my life, but they saved my future! If you are reading my review, I HIGHLY recommend that you STOP looking elsewhere and hire this savvy man. He gave me hope in one of the darkest times of my life. I cannot brag on him enough! Thank you, Ken, Kate, & Paige, for all that you did for me. I appreciate you immensely and have a high level of respect for you all.

They prepare. They investigate. They win.
I am an entrepreneur and real estate developer and never thought I’d need a defense team until criminal issues knocked on my door. They do a superb job investigating, litigating and presenting to the court. All I can say is Eichner Law is the firm you want when regulatory issues turn criminal. Their trial team is well prepared and strategic. AA++

Super Lawyer with a great team
Ken Eichner is a great lawyer with an equally great team. He is expensive, so be ready for that, but if you're wrongfully charged and it could change your life and impact your career, you need the best defense possible. He is thorough and works to (in my case) get a quick dismissal through overwhelming research and preparation. He is playing grandmaster level chess.

Fearless Federal Litigators
I had a serious federal matter and Eichner Law was absolutely fearless when it came to litigating against the Department of Justice. They’re bench is stacked with talent and were prepared for the “X factors.” The firm filed motions and negotiated a dismissal that saved our family from disaster. As Ken and firm’s team helped us through the pressures, they were calm and strategic every step of the way. There is no better firm in Colorado for federal white-collar investigations and charges.

HUGE success
I hired Eichner Law for an assault case. They are knowledgeable about the court system and can handle complicated legal situations. Kate and Ken recognized that the false charges were impacting my life in a severely negative way. They were intent on getting my case dismissed. They did and I truly appreciate their hard work.

An Absolute Go-to Firm
Life comes at you fast. I've had a few family members get into potential legal troubles that Ken and Kate have been able to help us navigate through-- always with positive results. They are seasoned professionals that truly put their clients first. Hopefully people don't need to make these types of phone calls, but if you do, I can't give a stronger recommendation for their firm. Thanks Ken & Kate

Protected both my professional license & reputation
I had a devastating criminal charge that threatened my professional healthcare license. The Eichner Law firm took care of both the criminal and regulatory problem. Although the firm is based in Colorado, they had no trouble with multi-state agency work, and took care of details that I would have had absolutely no idea how to approach on my own. Ken, Kate and the investigators were incredibly responsive to all of my requests. At a time in my life that was more stressful than anything I've experienced, I felt utterly safe in their hands... and even more importantly, I felt respected. Just an amazing group of people who gave me a great result, including retaining my professional license. Hiring them was truly one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Felony domestic violence case dismissed by prosecutor
The Eichner Law Firm is amazing. The lawyers and investigators did everything imaginable to win my case. They investigated every aspect of the event and my accuser. They went full steam ahead and took strong actions to prep the case for trial. They handled the protection order and child custody pieces as well. They presented our side of the facts to the prosecutor and the deputy D.A. dismissed the case. This firm has incredible legal talent. I have total confidence in Eichner Law.

Tremendous Firm
Eichner Law has one of the most elite investigations, government enforcement and white collar criminal defense practices in the country. I hired them for a global financial issue and faced a career ending situation but Ken and his legal cavalry turned the situation around by mounting a vigorous defense early on. They even had my judge recused after discovering a conflict during the investigation. This group of lawyers are well versed in securities law and simply know what works with judges and prosecutors. I highly recommend them.

GREAT AT REGULATORY & CRIMINAL WORK
My company was embroiled in a very complicated regulatory, quasi-criminal matter so I hired Eichner Law. Ken and his lawyers did a deep dive into all the issues to keep the company out of hot water. They are definitely an accomplished and talented group. I could also tell that the prosecutors on the other side definitely took the firm's reputation for trial work into consideration. I was very pleased with the outcome.

They Bring The Fight
I had a felony issue that threatened my professional license. Eichner Law saved my career. They brought the fight in a brilliant and aggressive way that did not alienate the prosecutor or judge. Ken and his legal team are smart lawyers that just don’t tolerate injustice. They were focused and never gave up. Definitely recommend this firm.

Best Attorney in CO!
Best Defense Team on marijuana cases. The criminal justice system is not something I’d recommend tackling without a team of pros. I got hit with a drug felony, freaked out, thought I’d end up in jail. I hired Eichner Law to handle the situation. Jeff and Ken convinced the prosecutors that their case was blown out of proportion (which it was) and got me a great result. I don’t live in Colorado but this firm knows cannabis offenses and how to deal with out of state cases. I never had to set foot in court or go back to Colorado. I recommend this firm.

They Listen, They Win
I wish I could give ten stars. If you are anything like me, when reading reviews for organizations I try to find the ones that resonate the most with who I am and what I like. I never in my life thought I would be facing charges in a criminal case. I've never had a detention in my life, I was a college athlete and have made an incredible life for myself - here I was facing something that was more than a bad nightmare. I hired Eichner Law because Ken Eichner and Kate Hennessy are genuine, compassionate, incredible humans. No matter what, I always felt like their only client. They would take the time to truly listen to everything I had to say and ask and made sure I felt comfortable with the answers I was given. I never left a conversation feeling confused or unsure of what next steps would be. With an almost impossible outcome from the start, my case was dismissed and I was given my life back. They were assertive with the prosecution but not overly aggressive. The weight that was hanging over my head was lifted because of Kate Hennessy. She was a model of perseverance. My intuition had a good feeling from the start and I am glad that I trusted it. Hiring this law firm was one of the best decisions of my life.

Sex Assault Dismissed: Thermonuclear Competitive Drive, Masters of Cross-Examination
My name is Colby. I am a Canadian citizen that was falsely accused of sexual assault during a trip to Denver. I faced life imprisonment. Thankfully while I was incarcerated awaiting a bond hearing my family called the Eichner Law firm. Ken got me out on a bond and while they prepared my case, I climbed 14-ers with an ankle bracelet-tracking device that I had to wear. It was the worst situation of my life. Ken, Kate and the team had a mind-set and discipline that allowed them to blow right through obstacles. Honestly, there were nights when I thought I would never be with my family again. After months of preparation we went to court. Eichner was a master of cross examination. After presenting my case with cutting edge technology, after two days and 14 hours of cross examination, the judge dismissed the case. I am now back in my country, married with a young son. Who knows what would have happened had these guys not gone to war for me.

A SMALL FIRM THAT TAKES ON BIG CASES
I was in one of the toughest situations of my life. My family hired Eichner Law. Ken and his team moved seamlessly between the various law enforcement agencies, which included a state prosecutor, the DEA and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Ken’s firm did a fabulous job keeping my best interests as their core priority. Problem solved, case dismissed and record sealed. I highly recommend this amazing firm.

A peace of mind during a stressful time
I found myself in a bit of trouble (DUI charge with not even a prior speeding ticket) and had no idea what to do. Ken and his team were responsive and professional right out of the gate! Not only did they guide me through the process, but were able to achieve a conclusion that was far above my expectations. Even two years later I needed some old documents and they retrieved them without hesitation. Well worth every dollar and I would happily refer anyone to them.

Ken was the right choice after plenty of searching
When I found myself in a very difficult spot with the federal government, I had to find the best possible attorney fast and efficiently. I narrowed it down to about 8 Denver choices and began calling around. After telling my story over and over I finally got to Ken Eichner on my list. He took his time with me on the phone and really understood what was happening. He immediately started suggesting options. I decided to hire Ken and his team that day. Over the course of my case, the team that supported me kept getting larger. Ken was able to find people that specialize in certain aspects of my case that were unique. From our time in federal court rooms to his office Ken always had a great way of helping me feel at ease. In the end we won! No record or imprisonment. I highly recommend Ken Eichner.

Great Law Firm
The Eichner Law Firm did a great job litigating my son’s criminal and civil cases. If it weren’t for the Eichner Law Firm my son would be in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. It was through the due diligence and expertise of the Eichner Law Firm that the outcome was positive in both the criminal and civil cases. I am truly thankful for the Eichner Law Firm.
