Patrick McKinstry is a skilled and respected Colorado felony and misdemeanor defense attorney, dedicated to ensuring your constitutional rights are protected. One of the first defenses used by top criminal defense attorneys is filing motions to suppress evidence. If law enforcement or prosecutors violated your rights while gathering evidence, Mr. McKinstry will fight to suppress that evidence—potentially leading to the dismissal of charges.

In assault cases, including those involving domestic violence, it’s not uncommon for individuals to be charged simply for defending themselves. McKinstry Law Firm has successfully litigated assault cases, securing acquittals based on self-defense claims.
