About

Luke is very pleased to have joined with two wonderful colleagues in the formation of a new law firm called Mulligan Breit McConnell. We bring together a great combination of criminal defense and litigation expertise. Luke McConnell started the Law Office of Luke McConnell after more than five years working at the Colorado State Public Defender in one of the most busy metro offices. While working for the public defender, Luke was exposed to an extreme variety of people, cases, and situations. It is this experience that provides the foundation for Luke's current representation of clients. Luke's focus is on providing honest, compassionate, and comprehensive advocacy on behalf of clients. No two situations are entirely the same, and Luke approaches each case with the goal of formulating a comprehensive strategy that meets the clients unique needs. With 89 jury trials under his belt, few people are as qualified as Luke when a case goes to trial, and Luke possesses a passion for the art of the jury trial. Luke has had the privilege of sharing his passion for jury trials by teaching students at CU Boulder and to his newly admitted colleagues. Outside of work, Luke pursues many interests. These include biking, running, hiking, skiing, climbing, cooking, reading, music, and spending time with friends.

Luke McConnell is an amazing human being and an excellent defense attorney. I cannot say enough about this man and his many facets of excellence. I was facing serious felony charges that were setting me up for a minimum of 10 years and upto 30 years in prison. Unfortunately, I had initially hired an attorney that proved to be extremely incompetent, and was not able to make any headway with the prosecuting deputy district attorney. When it seemed like the walls were closing in and that I was certain to be sentenced to jail, I managed to look up Luke online where I read great reviews about his practice. I was especially pleased to find out that one of Luke's areas of criminal defense practice specialized in mental health cases which happened to be the central theme in my criminal case ( I was suffering a complete mental breakdown when I committed the crimes). I immediately switched to Luke McConnell after he heard my case and was willing to represent me. Right away in working with Luke, I noticed how extremely diligent he was in listening to what I had to say, understanding all the nuances and complexities of the case, as well as having extreme empathy and compassion for what I was going through. He truly stepped in at a time where I was extremely stressed out and practically incapable of doing anything for myself. In working with me and representing my case, he shouldered all of the burden and provided great counsel and emotional support to help me get through. Luke was methodical, well organized, and had a clear plan of how he wanted to approach the deputy district attorney and construct my defense. Luke did an amazing job and guided me every step along the way as we went from one hearing to the next in my case, each time making favorable progress in my defense. Luke was always ahead of the curve and able to anticipate all the moves made by the prosecution. In the end he was able to construct my mental health related defense and was able to provide the prosecution with the adequate documentation so as to have my charges reduce to misdemeanors. Because of Luke and his amazing defense attorney skills, I was able to avoid going to jail. I ended up receiving out of state probation as part of a plea deal with the DAs office. I would also like to add how electronically savvy Luke is- he is readily available via email and is very responsive. He quickly calls you back when you reach out to him at his office. His ease of availability puts the mind at ease. He electronically submitted supporting defense documentation to the judge ahead of my sentencing hearing so as to provide me with the opportunity to allow the judge to review favorable material without interference from the prosecution. Like I said in the beginning, Luke is an exceptional human being who is highly intelligent and has a great big heart. Even though my case is settled, we still remain in touch and he still checks in on me from time to time to make sure I am progressing well. Luke, thank you for everything you have done for my family and I- I do not have to words to express my gratitude and cannot thank you enough. I believe I have gotten a second chance at life because of you. Thank you.

Luke is one of the most outstanding and professional lawyers I could of ever met. I am facing my first big case and throughout the process he has kept me informed and fought for nothing but the best for me. When it comes to hard work, he excels and goes above and beyond! I am very grateful for Luke for everything! 10/10 times I would recommend him to any person facing a hard time and in need of professional assistance!

Luke was extremely helpful in my case. I am very happy with my decision to use him fair pricing and he helped take a lot of stress off my plate and keep me organized with what steps to take next he is very organized and to the point exactly what I needed

I was extremely fortunate to be referred to Luke McConnell by another attorney. After our initial conversation I was reluctant to retain him since he had never filed a motion for early termination of supervised release. Finding an attorney that sincerely has your best interest at heart is extremely difficult. However, choosing Luke was the best decision I have ever made. He worked tirelessly on my behalf, stayed in constant contact by phone and email, and my motion was exceptionally represented. I genuinely believe his hard work and research was a determining factor in my motion being granted. I would highly recommend Luke for anyone's legal needs. Lee

Luke helped me navigate the complexities of my car accident case. He had to deal with multiple insurance companies and medical facilities, including legal jurisdictions. We appreciated his expertise and persistence.

My dad was in jail for a minor parole violation and was obviously about to be sent back to prison. I begged Mr. McConnell to help us and he took the case. He asked for a continuance, had us get letters from everyone we could think of vouching for my dad's character, honesty, etc and then got the parole board to see that my father was a real person and that decision to send him back would not be appropriate in this case. Thanks to Luke, they released him.

Sure appreciated Luke's temperament from start to finish with our case. We were dealing with an absolute unrealistic opposing legal team. Luke 'ALWAYS' remained collected, professional and really knew when to put it into 4WD and win the case. This was a case where kids were involved and Luke was very compassionate and understanding. I would highly recommended Luke. He sure is a 'Rockstar' of an attorney. If you are looking for an 'HONEST' attorney that is well respected in the legal community, Luke is the guy!

The law office of Luke Mcconnell was nothing but a blessing to me and my family. His attention to detail and his quick attack on the facts was the deciding factor in getting all my charges dismissed. Great attorney who really cares.

Luke is a highly intelligent and skilled lawyer. It was my first time ever being involved in a criminal case and from beginning to end he made sure my case was a priority. He made sure I was comfortable with how things would proceed and completely honest about the possible outcomes. I was in the loop the entire time and never felt like my suggestions were not taken into consideration. He stayed on top of the case with the District Attorney's office to get things resolved as quickly as possible. He filed all the necessary documents so when we did sit in front of the judge for my first appearance one of the charges was dismissed before we left the courtroom. He overwhelmed the Assistant DA with the Regulatory Laws specific to my case, which resulted in the dismissal of the other charges. He fought fast and efficiently to end the situation with the best possible outcome. There was never a point throughout the entire ordeal where I doubted his abilities.
