Criminal Defense 70%

Felony criminal defense at trial, on appeal, for postconviction, and expert witness. I have handled more than 30 homicides and won many serious cases at trial, on appeal, and in postconviction proceedings. I have received not guilty verdicts in first degree murder cases, in sex assault cases, in assault cases and more. I have gotten many murder convictions reversed on appeal and in postconviction, including a double homicide jury trial not guilty verdicts in 2011.

36 years | 5,000 cases

Appeals to the Colorado Court of Appeals and the Colorado Supreme court in criminal and civil cases. I have had about 20 published cases and many more unpublished cases. I win close to 50% of my appeals, which is a high percentage.For more details, see http://carberrylaw.com/appellate-wins/

I represent Ward Churchill in his appeal from the trial court's order vacating jury verdicts in his favor for having been fired by the University of Colorado because of his essay about 911.

Avvo Rating

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.
