Attorney Profile
When my firm was founded, its vision was clear – To Protect and Defend the Accused. I personally dedicate myself to your defense, because I understand that a conviction for any crime can create roadblocks in your life, jeopardize your career, or even worse, land you in prison.
My goal is to provide the best representation for my clients through fierce litigation and persuasive negotiation. I get to know my clients personally and will individually tailor each client’s defense.
Whether it’s a DUI, a homicide, or sexual assault – I treat and defend all of my clients with the same level of vigilance and dedication. My mission is to always be better prepared than the prosecution. Experience has taught me that when I front-end a case, I achieve better results either at trial or through relentless negotiation.
I, Dana M. Casper, am a highly qualified attorney you CAN trust. Widely respected amongst my peers, judges and prosecutors throughout Colorado, I bring more than 20 years legal experience to the table. I have tried over 100 cases to juries, litigated countless motions and negotiated thousands of pleas. You can count on me to represent you in the most diligent, sensitive and dedicated way, regardless of the charge or jurisdiction.
