As a former Deputy District Attorney, I have worked with and against Mr. Lux. Mr. Lux has a tremendous amount of trial experience being a former prosecutor and brings his confidence to the courtroom. Mr. Lux is relentless in advocating for his clients, knowledgeable on the law, and effective in negotiations. I endorse and reccomend him as a top Criminal Defense Attorney in El Paso County.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Austin Lux is an aggressive, efficient, and skilled litigator/negotiator. Mr. Lux and I were docket partners as Deputy District Attorneys. We won major cases as prosecutors and now, as a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Lux fights for his clients with knowledge/experience that few possess. I actively refer cases to Mr. Lux and endorse him as a top lawyer within Southern Colorado.
