Mike is a WINNER

Mike is the BEST! He masterfully navigated the court and is an encyclopedia of legal knowledge. He excelled in pretrial motions, dominated in trial, and achieved my desired outcome faster than I thought possible. I'm honored to have had his representation.

Great experience working with Moran Law

Hi hired Moran Law to defend me on a DUI charge. Mike not only has a great grasp of the law, but more importantly knows the people and personalities of the people that will be making decisions about your case. We set a realistic goal for the best outcome, and we’re able to achieve that result. They g...uided me every step of the way and removed much of the stress and anxiety I was dealing with.

Hit a grand slam for me!

I hired Mike to help with an old case that was coming up on background checks and causing me problems with clients. After another lawyer took my money and did nothing, Mike took care of the situation in a very timely manner, and it made all the difference. He knows the law and the legal system. He’s ...efficient and very effective. He told me straight up what obstacles were involved with my unique circumstances, laid out a plan of action, then dealt with the issue and got the job done. I highly recommend him and will not hesitate to hire him again should the need arise.

Excellent, honest and professional representation

In January 2016 I was charged with a DUI along with additional charges totaling 50 points. I also had a pending charge for careless driving resulting in an accident. I retained Mike and his team who had represented my daughter in a previous case. Mike agreed to be my attorney and gave me an incred...ible rate as a returning customer. More importantly, he handled my case with incredible professionalism and patience . I have a tendency towards impatience, but Mike was able to guide me through the process with literally no stress. The outcome was phenomenal and beyond my most extreme expectation. I understand why he has been voted top DUI attorney in Colorado Springs the last 2 years. With his guidance and understanding of the system, I was able to finish most of the ultimate sentence well before my actual sentencing. I highly recommend anyone to retain Mike Moran if ever you need DUI representation. Thanks again Mike and Therese. David

Great DUI Lawyer in Colorado Springs

I was arrested for DUI while visiting Colorado Springs last month. I had only had 2 beers and the officer said he pulled me over for a "faulty" taillight. Mr. Moran immediately challenged the accuracy of both the reason for the stop (nothing was wrong with either taillight) and the alledged .005 BA...C the officer claimed I registered. Mr. Moran's investigators found that this officer's certification to operate that particular device was not current and up to date, and an independent auto shop certified that there were no issues with taillights. Thanks to Mike Moran's help , my DUI case was dismissed entirely in a pre-trial hearing by the judge.

  • 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.
