Cody James Knifer

I hired attorney Cody Knifer (#49661) to represent me in Montrose County case 2023CR204. During the case he had my exculpatory body-cam and video evidence — he later sent me those materials on a flash drive — but he never used them in my defense. He showed hostility toward me when I tried to recove...r my driver’s license from the jail and failed to communicate clearly about my case or present my evidence in court. This experience reflected the same lack of accountability that has plagued the 7th Judicial District. I have filed a formal ethics complaint with the Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel regarding his conduct. In my opinion, the public should review the disciplinary record carefully before retaining this lawyer.

Cody Knifer was very professional and supportive when I hired him as my defense attorney. He was honest and straightforward with me throughout the entire process. He worked diligently on my behalf and helped me reach a more desirable outcome for my situation. I highly recommend Cody Knifer with absol...utely zero reservations.
