“Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.” — Bryan Stevenson
Casey Krizman is the Founding Attorney at Krizman Law in Denver, Colorado, a firm built for one purpose: relentless, fearless criminal defense for those who need it most. Domestic violence defense is at the heart of what Krizman Law does. From the most serious felony charges to cases that others might call minor, every client who walks through our door receives the same relentless, fearless defense. Because while your case may not be a felony, it is the most important case in your world. And we treat it exactly that way.
In private practice, Mr. Krizman has compiled an extraordinary trial record of 35 Not Guilty verdicts out of 41 trials, including Not Guilty verdicts in Sex Assault on a Child, Sex Assault and Attempted Murder cases. When the stakes are highest, murder, sex assault and violent felonies, Krizman Law is the firm you call.
As a former public defender, Mr. Krizman brings rare insider knowledge of the criminal justice system. He knows how prosecutors think, how cases are built, and exactly where to attack. He previously served as a Deputy Public Defender at the Aurora Public Defender’s Office.
A Colorado native, Mr. Krizman graduated from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law where he was a member of the prestigious National Trial Team. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Government and World Affairs from the University of Tampa and completed the Program on Negotiation Mastery at Harvard Business School.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2025-2026Casey and his team were a great help to me when I desperately needed good criminal defense. Getting the right outcome in my situation was a very important moment in my life, and I felt my case was taken as seriously as I did. I was in and out of court for six months, and throughout Casey and the team were great to work with. Also during that time my parents were very worried about me, and Casey was very generous with his time to them.
