Prior to graduating law school, Devin was a student attorney with the University of Denver Sturm College of Law Criminal Defense Clinic and an extern with the Denver Office of the Municipal Public Defender, where he was able to hone his litigation skills and successfully defend clients in misdemeanor criminal cases.
