A criminal charge reshapes your life before a verdict is ever reached. What you say, what you do, and who you hire in the early days can all matter. The facts, the evidence, and the stakes shift from one case to the next—and the attorney handling yours needs to understand exactly what kind of charge you’re facing.
We defend people accused of crimes throughout Colorado, including in Denver, Jefferson, Arapahoe, Douglas, and El Paso counties. Every defense strategy we build starts with investigation, close analysis, and the specific circumstances of the case in front of us.

Criminal Defense Built Around the Charge
We don’t treat criminal defense as a one-size-fits-all practice. Attorney M. Colin Bresee has practiced criminal law since 1995, handled thousands of cases, and taken hundreds of jury trials to verdict. As a former prosecutor, Mr. Bresee understands how the government builds a case—which shapes how we evaluate evidence, find weaknesses, and prepare for negotiations or trial.
Our confirmed areas of criminal defense include:
- Sex offense defense
- Domestic violence cases
- Serious felony cases
- DUI cases
- Internet crime cases
When the Case Feels Impossible to Fight
Some people contact us after an arrest they never saw coming. Others reach out after the evidence against them has already begun to pile up. A difficult case still deserves careful attention, a close review of the facts, and a defense built around the person facing the charge—not the appearance of the odds.
We take on cases where the weight of an accusation would cause other attorneys to walk away, because the strength of the government’s evidence shouldn’t determine whether someone receives a serious defense. Trial experience is central to what we do, and it shapes how we assess a case from day one.
A DUI charge can raise questions about the stop, the testing, and the reports behind it. Allegations involving sex offenses, domestic violence, or serious felonies carry intense personal and legal pressure—they demand disciplined analysis, not assumptions. Internet crime accusations often involve dense evidence and complicated factual questions. Across all of these, we examine the circumstances involved and prepare a defense responsive to the specific allegations.
Thirty Years of Trial Experience, in Your Corner
Attorney Bresee moved from prosecution into defense work to help ensure that every person accused of a crime receives fair treatment under the law. His Distinguished peer-reviewed rating from Martindale-Hubbell reflects high marks for knowledge, capability, judgment, communication, and experience.
We know some cases are difficult enough that other attorneys won’t take them. Our practice is built for those cases. That doesn’t change the uncertainty of a criminal charge, but it does mean yours gets handled by a firm solely dedicated to criminal defense—one that doesn’t back down when the government’s case looks strong.
