About Christopher
Biography
If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly understands the Colorado criminal justice system, Christopher Griffin is a name you should know. With more than 13 years of experience as a prosecutor and 18 years as a defense attorney, Chris has seen it all. He spent nearly two decades in the 17th Judicial District, where he managed thousands of cases ranging from drug offenses and assaults to high-stakes murder trials. His leadership as a Senior Deputy District Attorney in Broomfield gave him a unique perspective on how law enforcement and judges operate, which is an invaluable asset for his clients today. Chris earned his law degree from the University of Denver after studying psychology at CU Boulder, a combination that helps him connect with clients and navigate the human element of every case. He has spent years defending people throughout the Front Range and the Denver metro area, always focusing on a personalized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all strategy. Having taught criminal justice at the college level, he is excellent at breaking down the legal process and helping his clients feel empowered. When you work with Chris, you’re getting a seasoned advocate who knows the prosecution’s playbook and uses that experience to fight for the best possible outcome.
