Why Choose The McKinstry Law Firm?
When you are facing criminal charges in Colorado, the most dangerous thing you can do is hire someone who treats your case like a routine matter. Patrick McKinstry is not that attorney. He has handled thousands of cases in state, municipal, and juvenile courts — from DUI to attempted murder.

What Clients Say
"My father was facing two years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Patrick McKinstry got the case dismissed — no jail, no fines. He knows how the DA thinks because he used to be one. Absolute best choice we could have made."
"Patrick was empathetic and strategic from the first call. He identified an evidentiary problem the police made during the search. Charges reduced significantly. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough."
"I was wrongly charged with assault. Patrick took me seriously from day one, built a timeline and witness account that directly contradicted the prosecution. Case dismissed. My life is still intact because of him."
