Best of the best.

I have relied upon Jeff O’Holleran on several occasions. His knowledge of the law is first rate. He advised me when I represented myself in traffic court. I defeated the city attorney and got the case dismissed. He later prevented me from having a felony on my record. In both cases, he took the time ...to explain my options and to outline what each course of action would entail. I have found that his prudent thinking and good decision-making are his greatest strengths. I always feel fully informed of the possible outcomes of each decision that I make along the way, and Mr. O’Holleran always works to get the best possible outcome in each situation. I am also impressed by his previous experience. He is able to use elements from previous and similar experiences to great effect. And, when the case is over he has always explained what is expected of me going forward. He is always available when I call and his staff is so friendly, I know that I can count on Mr. Oholleran to give my case the defense I deserve.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jeffrey is an excellent attorney. When he speaks in court, people listen. I worked alongside Jeffrey as a public defender, and I was invariably amazed by his profound ability to immediately earn the trust of his clients, his effectiveness in persuading the judge, and his sound credibility in speaking to members of a jury. Jeffrey is a unique type of litigator in that he is an "outside-of-the-box" thinker, which is a powerful approach in defending an individual accused of a crime."

Relationship: Co-worker

"As my next-door neighbor at the Denver Trial Office of the Public Defender, Jeff and I spent a lot of time talking about cases and brainstorming how to best help our clients. There were many nights when most everyone else had gone home that Jeff was still at work figuring out how to best help his clients. He is passionate and clearly cares about getting the best outcome for those he represents."
