I recently received a DUI and decided to ask Trent for representation because I’ve only heard the most positive things of him and his firm. He’s kept me fully informed on everything going on and doesn’t sugar coat anything. Anytime I’ve had any concern or question he’s quick to respond with no b.s. and is straight to the point. Couldn’t be more grateful with my decision to ask him to represent me as I would do again as needed. I fully recommend anyone who has been in a similar situation to give him a call as you will not regret your decision doing so.

I had a very serious felony criminal matter in Denver District Court about a year ago. I contacted several attorneys when I was trying to decide who to have represent me. Mr. Trani was far and away the most impressive with his knowledge of the law, his ideas for my defense, and his ability to make me feel comforted. I went ahead and hired Mr. Trani and am so happy that I did. He looked over my case and found several flaws in the district attorneys case against me. He hired an investigator who also found witnesses and surveillance video that was favorable to me. We were set for trial this last summer and I was very confident that Mr. Trani would be successful for me. I could tell that he was prepared and way overmatched the DA who we were up against. I was offered a low level misdemeanor a few days before the trial that I could not refuse, so the case never actually made it to the trial date. After accepting the misdemeanor that Mr. Trani also advised that I accept, I was granted a short period of unsupervised probation. All I had to do was pay a small fine and some court costs, and do 24 hours of community service. It was Mr. Trani that helped me get this great deal. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer. I think that he's the best! Thanks Mr. Trani!

Mr. Trani blew the prosecutor out of the water at trial. He was prepared for every legal issue that could have been brought up against me, as well as all of the evidence that the prosecutor thought that he had to try and convict me. It wasn't even close. I was found Not Guilty by the jury after a 4 day trial. I was falsely accused of vehicular assault, DUI, and leaving the scene of an accident a couple of year ago and hired Mr. Trani to represent me. I was facing possible prison time because two of these charges were felonies. Mr. Trani had an investigator talk to witnesses and looked at every angle of the prosecutor's case against me. He worked my case for over six months before it went to trial. I can't tell you how happy that I am that I found Mr. Trani to represent me. If you are charged with any type of criminal charge, I strongly recommend that you reach out to Mr. Trani and his firm.

I contacted Mr. Trani to represent my daughter who had been charged with her third DUI. I can't imagine another attorney being as caring of a client than he was with my daughter. He was absolutely wonderful. I wish that I had done it sooner, but I didn't hire Mr. Trani until after my daughter had lost her trial using a public defender. She hadn't been drinking, but had been using prescription medications on the night that she was pulled over. Unfortunately, she has been addicted to pain medications for several years and had a habit of abusing those medications. She was looking at spending a full year in the Arapahoe County Jail because she just couldn't get off of these medications while her case was pending and had violated the court's orders to submit clean UA's multiple times. The judge was very angry at her by the end of the trial. As soon as I got Mr. Trani involved, he developed a strategy that we hoped would minimize the jail time. His strategy included getting my daughter the help that she needed. This is something that we desperately wanted and she needed, but it was not something that we really expected when we contacted Mr. Trani. He told us that it is his belief that his job is to not only help a client with their legal matter, but to also help them with any underlying problems that may have led the client to the problem in the first place. He directed her to a treatment program that he has had clients use before. He talked to her many time, at length, encouraged her, and convinced her that she could get help and improve her life. Mr. Trani delayed the sentencing for several months so that she could get through the treatment. He was very direct and honest about the fact that there were no guarantees that her success in this treatment would help her cause at sentencing. She did great. Mr. Trani encouraged her the entire time. He would check in with her every couple of weeks or so. Again, absolutely wonderful. By the time that sentencing happened, about 4 months later, my daughter was a changed person. The judge recognized it and listened to Mr. Trani tell him about her hard work in treatment. The judge clearly knew Mr. Trani and we heard that they had worked on cases when the judge was a prosecutor. He obviously respected Mr. Trani's words and believed what he was saying about my daughter. The judge ended up giving my daughter only the mandatory minimum sentence of 60 days in jail. We believe and know that Mr. Trani saved my daughter from spending an additional 10 months in jail, but even more importantly, maybe even her life. I strongly and without hesitation recommend that you hire Mr. Trani if you or a person that you care about is charged with a DUI or other criminal charge. He is the best in our opinion.

I recently hired Mr. Trani for a very serious matter for which I was facing up to 30 years in prison for. I was falsely accused, but the law enforcement agency and district attorney in the jurisdiction where my case was failed to take a close look at the evidence. I don't want to use actual names or where this occurred for personal privacy reasons. However, I feel that I need to publicly compliment Mr. Trani for his dedication to my case, his expertise, and his tenacity. But for him, my life would essentially be over. He obtained a NOT GUILTY verdict on 4 separate felony offenses. I sent him the following email after the trial. Again, substituting actual names. "Trent - I can't tell you how much I appreciate you. The trial keeps running through my mind and how you would get into this zone like your body was there but your mind was playing a large chess game anticipating every move. If I wasn't the defendant, it would have been a marvel to watch. It's frustrating to know that you are probably top 10% in the country and people aren't informed enough to know it. It's like having the secret sauce but nobody knows. I bet that sometimes you feel like saying 'listen, I'm the best so why are we still talking?' But you can't because there are so many clown attorneys out there that you lose business to lawyers like Evan." I highly recommend that you hire Trent Trani if you are in need of a trial attorney. Don't fall for the sales tactics of other attorneys out there, or just go with the lowest price. I did that, and it almost cost me my life.

I’ve seen this man in action winning a huge case of 4 different charges that other lawyers couldn’t win in the past. Final decision: NOT GUILTY to all four charges. If you need an aggressive lawyer I strongly recommend Mr Trent, he is the best!!!!

Trent is trusted lawyer and represented my interests well. He took time to explain to me my situation specific details and clearly outlined options. If I am ever in need of legal services again I will definitely call on Trent. If you're in need of quality legal advice I highly recommend Trent and his firm.

I hired Mr. Trani for a criminal matter that I unfortunately was charged with. He was very attentive and committed from the first time we sat down all the way up until my court appearance six months later. Unlike many attorneys I was always able to contact him whenever I needed to. His counsel was always honest and direct which is something I value tremendously. The timing of my case was extremely inconvenient as I had a pending security clearance for my job in progress. If I was found guilty of what I was accused of I would have been denied my clearance and most likely lost my career. Luckily I found an excellent attorney who made my priorities his own and represented me as if he was defending himself. There was not a moment when I felt I was fighting this battle alone. Through his diligence and attention to detail Mr. Trani was able to get my case dismissed. It is not an exaggeration to say that he saved my life and my career! I am forever in your debt sir, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Trent represented me when facing multiple felony charges to include felony DUI charges. After traveling down this road before I did not want to deal with my old attorneys. They were after the money and loved when I called them for services. I decided to try Trent based on a friends recommendation, and the guy was in a league of his own. He destroyed the cop on the stand, he destroyed the "expert" witness from the state and really connected with the jury. His services did not stop there. Trent helped me to get enrolled in AA and followed up on me regularly, in short, the guy is human, and he really cares. A HUGE difference than the other guys. I have been sober now for four years and still communicate with Trent from time to time. I can genuinely say he became much more than an attorney; he became a friend. I hope NEVER to need his services again but if I do, or someone I know does, he will be the first person I call/refer.

Mr. Trani blew the prosecutor out of the water at trial. He was prepared for every legal issue that could have been brought up against me, as well as all of the evidence that the prosecutor thought that he had to try and convict me. It wasn't even close. I was found Not Guilty by the jury after a 4 day trial. I was falsely accused of vehicular assault, DUI, and leaving the scene of an accident a couple of year ago and hired Mr. Trani to represent me. I was facing possible prison time because two of these charges were felonies. Mr. Trani had an investigator talk to witnesses and looked at every angle of the prosecutor's case against me. He worked my case for over six months before it went to trial. I can't tell you how happy that I am that I found Mr. Trani to represent me. If you are charged with any type of criminal charge, I strongly recommend that you reach out to Mr. Trani and his firm.

I contacted Mr. Trani to represent my daughter who had been charged with her third DUI. I can't imagine another attorney being as caring of a client than he was with my daughter. He was absolutely wonderful. I wish that I had done it sooner, but I didn't hire Mr. Trani until after my daughter had lost her trial using a public defender. She hadn't been drinking, but had been using prescription medications on the night that she was pulled over. Unfortunately, she has been addicted to pain medications for several years and had a habit of abusing those medications. She was looking at spending a full year in the Arapahoe County Jail because she just couldn't get off of these medications while her case was pending and had violated the court's orders to submit clean UA's multiple times. The judge was very angry at her by the end of the trial. As soon as I got Mr. Trani involved, he developed a strategy that we hoped would minimize the jail time. His strategy included getting my daughter the help that she needed. This is something that we desperately wanted and she needed, but it was not something that we really expected when we contacted Mr. Trani. He told us that it is his belief that his job is to not only help a client with their legal matter, but to also help them with any underlying problems that may have led the client to the problem in the first place. He directed her to a treatment program that he has had clients use before. He talked to her many time, at length, encouraged her, and convinced her that she could get help and improve her life. Mr. Trani delayed the sentencing for several months so that she could get through the treatment. He was very direct and honest about the fact that there were no guarantees that her success in this treatment would help her cause at sentencing. She did great. Mr. Trani encouraged her the entire time. He would check in with her every couple of weeks or so. Again, absolutely wonderful. By the time that sentencing happened, about 4 months later, my daughter was a changed person. The judge recognized it and listened to Mr. Trani tell him about her hard work in treatment. The judge clearly knew Mr. Trani and we heard that they had worked on cases when the judge was a prosecutor. He obviously respected Mr. Trani's words and believed what he was saying about my daughter. The judge ended up giving my daughter only the mandatory minimum sentence of 60 days in jail. We believe and know that Mr. Trani saved my daughter from spending an additional 10 months in jail, but even more importantly, maybe even her life. I strongly and without hesitation recommend that you hire Mr. Trani if you or a person that you care about is charged with a DUI or other criminal charge. He is the best in our opinion.

I recently hired Mr. Trani for a very serious matter for which I was facing up to 30 years in prison for. I was falsely accused, but the law enforcement agency and district attorney in the jurisdiction where my case was failed to take a close look at the evidence. I don't want to use actual names or where this occurred for personal privacy reasons. However, I feel that I need to publicly compliment Mr. Trani for his dedication to my case, his expertise, and his tenacity. But for him, my life would essentially be over. He obtained a NOT GUILTY verdict on 4 separate felony offenses. I sent him the following email after the trial. Again, substituting actual names. "Trent - I can't tell you how much I appreciate you. The trial keeps running through my mind and how you would get into this zone like your body was there but your mind was playing a large chess game anticipating every move. If I wasn't the defendant, it would have been a marvel to watch. It's frustrating to know that you are probably top 10% in the country and people aren't informed enough to know it. It's like having the secret sauce but nobody knows. I bet that sometimes you feel like saying 'listen, I'm the best so why are we still talking?' But you can't because there are so many clown attorneys out there that you lose business to lawyers like Evan." I highly recommend that you hire Trent Trani if you are in need of a trial attorney. Don't fall for the sales tactics of other attorneys out there, or just go with the lowest price. I did that, and it almost cost me my life.

I’ve seen this man in action winning a huge case of 4 different charges that other lawyers couldn’t win in the past. Final decision: NOT GUILTY to all four charges. If you need an aggressive lawyer I strongly recommend Mr Trent, he is the best!!!!

Trent is trusted lawyer and represented my interests well. He took time to explain to me my situation specific details and clearly outlined options. If I am ever in need of legal services again I will definitely call on Trent. If you're in need of quality legal advice I highly recommend Trent and his firm.

I hired Mr. Trani for a criminal matter that I unfortunately was charged with. He was very attentive and committed from the first time we sat down all the way up until my court appearance six months later. Unlike many attorneys I was always able to contact him whenever I needed to. His counsel was always honest and direct which is something I value tremendously. The timing of my case was extremely inconvenient as I had a pending security clearance for my job in progress. If I was found guilty of what I was accused of I would have been denied my clearance and most likely lost my career. Luckily I found an excellent attorney who made my priorities his own and represented me as if he was defending himself. There was not a moment when I felt I was fighting this battle alone. Through his diligence and attention to detail Mr. Trani was able to get my case dismissed. It is not an exaggeration to say that he saved my life and my career! I am forever in your debt sir, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Trent represented me when facing multiple felony charges to include felony DUI charges. After traveling down this road before I did not want to deal with my old attorneys. They were after the money and loved when I called them for services. I decided to try Trent based on a friends recommendation, and the guy was in a league of his own. He destroyed the cop on the stand, he destroyed the "expert" witness from the state and really connected with the jury. His services did not stop there. Trent helped me to get enrolled in AA and followed up on me regularly, in short, the guy is human, and he really cares. A HUGE difference than the other guys. I have been sober now for four years and still communicate with Trent from time to time. I can genuinely say he became much more than an attorney; he became a friend. I hope NEVER to need his services again but if I do, or someone I know does, he will be the first person I call/refer.

I had contacted Michael Trani after I was arrested for a DUI. He did an excellent job of explaining my options and the cost associated with each of them. He was always easy to get in touch with and I felt my case could have been handled any better.
