Denver Criminal Defense Attorney

Defending the People of Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson, Adams, and Arapahoe Counties against Felony and Serious Misdemeanor Charges

The attorneys of Prendergast & Associates, P.C., work with private investigators, forensic experts, lab technicians, and other criminal specialists in investigating the charges against our clients. We realize most police departments don’t have the manpower or resources needed to track down every eyewitness, exclude every suspect, or track down every alternative lead. That’s why our criminal defense lawyers carefully review police reports, crime scene photos, eyewitness statements, and the handling of evidence. We identify where police and investigators failed to conduct a more thorough investigation, where key pieces of evidence where neglected, and where alternative leads were ignored.

If you or someone you care about has been arrested on felony or serious misdemeanor charges, contact Prendergast & Associates, P.C. today for a free consultation.

Violent crimes

Police and prosecutors often rely on the fact that most homicides and violent crimes involve family members, friends, lovers, or co-workers. As a result, there can be a “rush to judgment” when circumstantial evidence points in the direction of an acquaintance of the victim. That’s why our criminal defense attorneys thoroughly investigate the facts of every case and work to create effective defense strategies to minimize or dismiss criminal charges. Our firm represents individuals charge with the following:

• Murder
• Manslaughter
• Robbery
• Assault with a deadly weapon
• Domestic Violence
