About

My name is James Colgan. I began my legal career as a police officer. I worked as a deputy sheriff and a police officer for nearly five years. I then traveled out of Colorado to attend law school. I knew immediately that litigation and trial work was the area where I wanted to spend my career. I have been a trial lawyer since graduating from law school. I have successfully advocated for victims of serious crimes and conducted numerous trials as a Chief Deputy District Attorney. The trials I conducted ranged from DUI to child victim crimes to sexual assault to homicide.When I moved on from the District Attorney’s Office, I had to decide whether I wanted to represent individuals or corporations. I realized that I am passionate about representing individuals so I currently represent the victims of someone else’s intentional actions or negligence in personal injury matters. In addition, I represent people accused of committing crimes. I have trial experience that is rare to find. I have tried numerous jury trials as a prosecutor, as Plaintiffs’ counsel in personal injury trials, and as a criminal defense attorney. I am as comfortable in a courtroom as any lawyer you will find.In my spare time, I judge mock trials for college and highschool students throughout the U.S.

James was the best thing that happened to me . I without him I’m pretty sure I would be doing some serious time. He’s definitely a pit bull in the courtroom. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks again James and keep kicking ass!

Jim was extremely professional and easy to work with. He was knowledgeable and explained things clearly. He laid out multiple different options/outcomes about my case, which gave me the chance to make my own decisions throughout the process. I would recommend Jim to anyone who needs legal assistance!

I was referred to Mr. Colgan by a good friend, I needed a good DUI lawyer, and was told he would be one of the best. He did thorough research, and made sure we had all angles covered. At the end, instead of what could have probably been some jail time, and 2 years probation, I am wearing an ankle monitor for 10 days, and I'm on 6 months probation. I guess that is a lot better than the alternative! Thank you for your time! Much appreciated!! Ellen

Mr. Colgan is the type of lawyer who employs his vast experience with the criminal justice system, combined with kindness, compassion, and intelligence, to take a case that seems complex and simplify it down to what is truly important. He makes himself available to his clients, listens carefully and gathers information, formulating a plan, Implementing it in a timely fashion and keeping his clients informed. He uses ethical principles to guide his practice and this sets him apart from many. He hires expert investigators who use proper technique and etiquette in collecting evidence and testimony.

after being arrested and charged years after alleged incident occurred My hope was dismal. James worked with me through a tough mental and monetary time. His professionalism was obvious from the first time I met Him. He was more concerned with helping than the money. Worked with me and guided us though their maze, He took on Adams County with a Iron fist and got my charges all dismisssed. The mental stress relief, was worth more than anything when a innocent man is drug through law enforcements twisted world all one can feel is helpless. Innocent in till proven guilty was not the way I was treated. He righted the wrong. Jim knew how they worked and was confident all along that he would get it dismissed and His tenacity resulted in my freedom from the corrupt Adams County system. He is real and called their bluff......He did have my life in his hands and would trust Him again with it. Know doubt not your cut of the run Attorney. He is genuine ,real and no bull tolerated. Jim will have My Blessings for life Thanks Again Jim I sleep a lot better now.
