Overview

Criminal Defense in Colorado

We defend clients facing charges from minor offenses to serious felonies. Our team builds strong strategies to protect your freedom and future. From a first-time misdemeanor to the most serious felony allegations, our firm stands between you and the State of Colorado. We investigate every charge independently, challenge weak evidence, and build a defense designed to protect your freedom, your record, and your future. Founded in 2003 by former 4th Judicial District Attorney Shimon Kohn, The Kohn Law Firm brings prosecutorial insight to every case — we know how the State builds a case because we have built them ourselves. That perspective changes how we investigate evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and negotiate with prosecutors. Whether the charge involves a traffic stop that escalated, an allegation by a former partner, a financial investigation that has been building for months, or a violent felony with serious time on the line, the same principles apply: respond fast, prepare relentlessly, and tell the truth — even when the truth is hard. We treat every case as if it is going to trial, because that is the only way to negotiate from genuine strength. When the State sees a defense file that is organized, witnesses that are prepared, and motions that are filed on time, the conversation about resolution changes entirely. If trial is the right answer, we are ready for it. If a negotiated outcome serves you better, we have the leverage to get one worth taking.
