About
I am a Colorado criminal defense attorney with 20 years of experience. I am a former prosecutor (14 years) and have extensive courtroom and trial experience. I have participated all levels of criminal offenses ranging from Traffic Offenses, Misdemeanors to serious felonies, including First Degree Murder. I am one of the country's foremost experts on legal marijuana and marijuana impaired driving. I lecture throughout the country and internationally on the subject. I have spent the better part of a decade training law enforcement and prosecutors how to do DUI cases. I am an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law Prosecution Background. I find that my background is incredibly valuable to clients. I understand both law enforcement and prosecution culture and because I spent years teaching in both spheres, I have a deep understanding of both institutional strengths and weaknesses. I can read a police report and determine the level of training as well as the quality of the investigation quickly. I also understand what it takes to get the prosecutor to see my client's side of the story, or the weaknesses in their case.Client Approach - being charged with a crime can evoke many emotions and is often a source of stress and anxiety. People make mistakes and I provide my clients with: Specialties - while I am experienced in all range of misdemeanor and felony cases there are several areas where I possess high levels of experience and expertise:

Great Lawyer, Great guy. Will fight hard for you! Always answers and returns phone calls! 10/10 would recommend Chris.
We hired Chris for a felony menacing case. He was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He answered all our questions in a timely manner and kept us updated. We were able to get our charges dropped completely thanks to him and his services didn't break the bank. We're incredibly grateful.
This attorney is down to earth, his consultations are of compassion for his job. He provides detailed consultations despite knowing your intentions on cases. This is an attorney that will fight for your rights and listens to your concerns. I have reached out to many others and this attorney was the only compassionate attorney not working in the interest of money, his interest is justice and in knowing that the money will come. Justice is his first priority, I was shocked he took the time to speak with me. Highly recommended, anyone reading this, you have found the right attorney to fight for justice and not a pay check.
I had never been in trouble before and I was scared until i met Chris. I was facing a lot charges and he worked hard on the case and made me feel like I was in good hands the whole way through. Better than I ever could have imagined. Would recommend to anyone in need of legal representation. Great dude. Even better attorney. Thank a lot Chris!
Chris was very responsive, always available for a question. He took a personal interest in favorably resolving the case.
100++% Satisfaction -- Originally, Chris Halsor was not the defense attorney I hired, however, I am beyond happy (and quite LUCKY, frankly) that he was "assigned" to my case. His outstanding knowledge and expertise of the DUI laws (top in the state) helped me to better understand what I was up against if I decided to push for a trial - no misleading fluff or sugar-coating. Although we didn't go to trial, his professionalism, guidance and honesty gave me the confidence I needed to make my decisions throughout the entire (stressful) process. (I would've enjoyed seeing him work at a trial!) I would hire him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone needing DUI legal representation.
Chris is by far the best legal counsel I have had to date. He is extremely responsive and I really felt as though he took an interest in truly assisting me with my case, not just processing my matters or 'completing the job'. He went over and beyond and time and again has gone to bat for me even after my time in court was finished. EVEN NOW - Chris remains available to me, he responds to my inquiries and concerns, calls me back, texts me back, responds to my emails and has stated he will continue to do so until I finish my sentence - that is value that I simply cannot put a dollar on and value that no other lawyer has given me. I hope to never be in need of legal counsel again but if I am, Chris Halsor will be the person I call and look to lean on and support. I don't use those terms loosely, I know I can rely on Chris for his care and support. He is a credible source and his knowledge of all things needed continue to leave me in awe, if he doesnt know the answer - he will find it. Chris even went as far to assist me with an out of state case, he found me the lawyer I needed as it was out of state but then stayed present and active and even remained ontop of the person I hired for my out of state case. I have already recommended Chris's services to folks I have met who are in need, and I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
I hired Chris as counsel on a DUI Marijuana charge and within 2 months, my charges were dropped and I walked without punishment. This man has trained the cops that patrol our streets in properly detecting if a driver IS TRULY under the influence of marijuana. He has practically written the book that has been adopted by sheriff's departments across the country. He can spot any inconsistency in the a report and any "BS" from miles away. He knew every single answer to all the questions I had for him (which was a ridiculous amount). In my case, he was able to dissect the police report instantly and could tell this officer was not trained properly, he had essentially predicted what the outcome was going to be in our first meeting. He was reassuring and very professional, from how he conducted himself in the courtroom to the phone calls we had, I knew I was in great hands with him representing me. He talk's with passion and is very mindful in everything he says in the courtroom. He was very much respected by the state DA as well making Chris is an absolute powerhouse attorney. I would fully recommend his counsel to anyone in need, especially regarding a DUI involving Cannabis. Chris, you saved my life and I dare say, I love you for it. Thank you.
Couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Very knowledgable. Helped me beat a DV I should have never got in the beginning. I've never had good experiences with courts or lawyers until now. If I could give ten stars I would. Looking for an attorney? HIRE CHRIS!
I hired Chris to represent me in my DUI case in Jefferson County. He is a well respected lawyer in the court systems in Denver and the surrounding counties in Colorado. Chris takes the time to review all the details and possible outcomes to each case that he takes on. Chris worked with both the Prosecutors and the District Attorney in my case to reach a plea to a DUI with a high BAC. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone needing representation in their case for either DUI or traffic violations in Denver or surrounding counties.
