About

I have practiced criminal law for over 33 years, 22 years as a Deputy District Attorney and Chief Deputy District Attorney in the 18th Judicial District - Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln Counties. In late 2009 I opened my criminal defense practice and continue to focus on criminal law and procedure. Over the years I have both prosecuted and defended cases involving a wide range of criminal charges - from misdemeanor traffic offenses, DUI, DUID, domestic violence, felony menacing, child abuse, arson, sexual assault, aggravated robbery, vehicular assault, vehicular homicide and 1st degree murder and most everything in between.As a member of the 18th Judicial District's Critical Incident Team, I responded to officer involved shootings and in-custody deaths.I have taught classes on trial techniques, criminal procedure and criminal law to both prosecutors and law enforcement officers. I have testified before legislative committees on matters relating to criminal law and procedure and assisted in drafting proposed legislation in those areas. I have briefed and argued numerous cases before the appellate courts in the state of Colorado.Each client I represent receives the benefit of my knowledge of criminal law, criminal prodedure, the rules of evidence and my experience and skill in the courtroom.

I live in Baltimore, my girlfriend had an issue pending in Colorado from 2013. Brian handled it professionally and at a very affordable price. I work in the courts four days a week in Maryland. I understand what a good attorney looks like, this is what a good attorney looks like!

I hired Brian for a traffic offense. He returned my call quickly. He explained the process and made sure I understood everything. He was very knowledgable and his fee was affordable. The results were great. I would highly recommend Brian.

After my experience with Brian over the past month or two, I recommend him without reservation. I appreciated his calm demeanor and professionalism. There was good communication throughout - he explained the process as it unfolded and did a good job of laying out the possible outcomes. The final result of his efforts was frankly, better than I expected.

Brian brought a professionalism and understanding to a process that provides many options. He always had our best interest in mind while providing options leading to the best outcome possible. We also noticed the mutual respect between Brian and the Court Systems that led to cross jurisdictions opportunities for us. Highly recommended!

I never needed a lawyer before. But fortunately, we hired Brian McHugh. He spent as much time as needed explaining all the aspects of the case with me. He walked me through what would happen each step of the way. He studied the facts carefully and gave me good advice about my options. He communicated with the DA's office on my behalf. He was calm and matter-of-fact. He always let me know that it was my choice how to plead. I was very pleased with the outcome of the case, and would recommend him 100%.

I highly recommend speaking with Mr. McHugh for any trouble with the law that you might find yourself in. He puts his clients first and works hard to get a good outcome. Over the course of 5 months he stayed in contact with me and explained all the steps in a way I could understand. He significantly reduced my charges. I am very happy with the results!!

Brain helped me to assess options at stake regarding a citation. He took time to lay everything out for me and made sure I had the help I needed to make a well thought out decision moving forward. I did not hire a lawyer to for the case, however, Brian left me with enough information to make the proper judgement call and asked for nothing in return for his time. I Recomment him to all deserving people.

We hired Brian McHugh as my son's lawyer for a car accident that he was involved in. My son is 17 and we were worried about the outcome of the case. Brian explained all the steps very clearly and accompanied us twice in court. The out come was much better than what we were expecting, he worked out a great agreement with the DA office. Throughout the process, Brian was always prompt in replying to our emails and responding to our calls. We strongly recommend Mr. McHugh. THANK YOU BRIAN.
