Very helpful and knowledgeable

David defended me in a DUI case. He did a very good job explaining the process and my options. He was with me at multiple court appearances and I believe the outcome would have been much worse without his representation.

Excellent DUI and Criminal Defense lawyer in Boulder, CO!

David Moorhead has been an invaluable asset to me as I prepare to go to court for a Reckless Driving charge. He has been fair and impartial and professional in all of our interactions, and has dispensed valuable guidance in my case. In addition, he has acted as an advocate for me in a tough situation... where "the other guy's" story was accepted without question by the police (even though it was not the whole story) and my side of the story has been questioned and corrupted to no end. This has been an extremely frustrating process for me from the get-go, and having Mr. Moorhead as counsel has been extremely useful both from a logistical standpoint and also quite comforting in an otherwise stressful and bewildering situation. I would highly recommend David Moorhead if you are looking for a DUI or criminal defense lawyer. He is smart, fair, personable and down to earth. Thank you, David!

Best DUI Lawyer Anywhere!

Mr. Moorhead was an amazing lawyer for my husband's DUI case. The case was in Washington County which is a 2 hour drive for Mr. Moorhead. Most lawyers we contacted were not willing to take a case so far out but he did not hesitate. Anytime I had a question and emailed him, he responded right away. We... felt confident with him as our lawyer. On the day of our court date, Mr. Moorhead arrived at the courthouse before anyone else to meet the judge and DA. In the end he was able to get out case dismissed. Do not hesitate to hire Mr. Moorhead, he is an excellent lawyer. I will certainly recommend him to everyone.

Definately recommend for driving impairment issues

David represented me in a driving impairment case. He was helpful, honest and transparent With his assistance and guidance I was able to successfully retain my license with a successful outcome. David's fees are reasonable and he clearly knows the Boulder County court system and procedures well - ...being able to make specific recommendations led to keeping my license with no negative impact.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Suspension issued in CO, 2008

updated on 03/28/2017

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

David’s comment:

“This was a sex assault case. Three years after his sentence he violated his probation and was facing life in prison. He found an attorney that suggested his only way out was to file ineffective counsel charges against me.”
