If you are facing felony charges in the state of Colorado, then you already know how frightening, disruptive, and disorienting the experience can be. You should retain a criminal defense attorney who will work with you to develop the case, collect all necessary discovery, and employ investigators when necessary to ensure that you have all the information you are entitled to, including potentially exculpatory evidence. Your felony lawyer may have to compel the government to hand over evidence that is helpful to you. In representing you in your defense, your criminal defense attorney must do everything possible to protect your liberty.

Patrick McKinstry is an experienced, effective, and respected Colorado felony defense attorney.
As a felony and misdemeanor criminal defense attorney in state courts, Mr. McKinstry’s priority is to ensure that your constitutional rights are protected and the burdens you face are minimized. The first line of defense deployed by the best Colorado criminal defense attorneys in many cases is the filing of motions to suppress evidence. If the police or prosecuting attorneys violated your rights in any way while collecting evidence, Mr. McKinstry will fight to suppress that evidence and, when successful, this can lead to dismissal of the criminal charges. The government must follow the rules, no matter what the charge. This is the foundation of ordered liberty.
