Hannah Proff came highly recommended as the “attorney that other attorneys would want representing them”. This was confirmed in all aspects of my interactions with her- from ease and timeliness in scheduling a consultation, to her exceptional professionalism and reassuring legal advice.

Michael Zywicki: The Attorney You Can Trust With Your Life, A True Genius in Law, and a Fearless Advocate!
I have worked with many professionals across various fields, but never in my life have I encountered someone as extraordinary as Michael Zywicki. To call him a genius in law feels like an understatement. From the moment he came on board, it became abundantly clear that this is someone operating at the highest level of legal expertise, combined with a compassion and dedication that are simply unmatched.
Mike has a remarkable ability to break down even the most complex legal issues into understandable terms, making the entire process feel approachable and manageable. Patient beyond belief, he never made me feel rushed or insignificant, no matter how many questions I had or how complicated my concerns were. Every response was prompt, thorough, and reassuring, reflecting a depth of knowledge and experience that is truly rare.
Mike is a force to be reckoned with in and out of the courtroom, he is relentless—an advocate and protector with an unparalleled drive to win. Whether it’s crafting a flawless legal strategy or passionately presenting the case before a judge, Mike embodies the word unstoppable. When you have him on your side, you know you have someone who will go to the mat for you, fight tooth and nail, and leave no stone unturned to achieve victory.
What’s more, his extraordinary skill and determination come with a level of integrity and fairness that is almost unheard of. The pricing was reasonable, especially compared to other law firms, that I was honestly shocked by the value of the services I received. I expected to pay significantly more for the kind of dedication, brilliance, and results he delivered—but his commitment to accessibility and client care blows me away.
I can say without hesitation that I would trust Michael Zywicki with my life. After working with him, I will never look to another attorney. Michael Zywicki is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate, a protector, a warrior, and a friend who will fight tirelessly to ensure justice prevails.
Michael Zywicki is without question the best there ever was. Fierce, brilliant, compassionate, and unstoppable, he is the gold standard of legal excellence. I will forever be grateful for the life-changing services I receive!

In a business often filled with deception and dishonesty, working with Michael was truly a breath of fresh air. From our very first conversation, Michael put us at ease with his knowledge and genuine approach. His honesty was evident in every interaction, and we never felt pressured or misled. Unlike many professionals in the legal industry who seem more focused on making money than serving their clients, Michael's integrity shone through, making us feel like we were in safe, trustworthy hands.
Beyond his transparency, Michael’s depth of legal knowledge was clear. He guided us through complex legal matters with ease, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand, helping us navigate challenges we would have struggled with on our own.
What truly sets Michael apart is his empathy. Rather than just treating us like another case, he approached every interaction with care and compassion. It was clear that he was invested in not just the legal outcome but in our peace of mind. His ability to balance professionalism with a personal touch made all the difference, providing reassurance when we needed it most. This level of personal care is rare, and it’s what makes Michael stand out in a crowded and often ruthless industry.
In short, if you’re looking for a lawyer who combines honesty, intelligence, expertise, and true empathy, we wholeheartedly recommend Michael. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s someone you can truly trust and will be our family lawyer for life!

If you're currently reading this review in search of a lawyer, find yourself in comfort and ease and look no further. Because this man right here is hands down the most incredible, patient, knowledgeable, caring and Apex lawyer out there.
Mike has been the glue that bonded our family closer together.
I mean seriously without him and how hard he fights for his clients I wouldn't have my daughter today.
In the past year that Mike has spent with me, He has listened to not just me but also my family and everyone of our frustrations, and laid any fear, panic or disturbance to rest.
Mike has a strategic mind that will truly blow you away.
He's incredibly honest and never tells you something he won't follow through with.
He's a very easy person to talk to and I've spent so much time talking with him and about so many nessesary details of my case where he has financially helped me without nickle and dimeing me.
hes genuinely a caring and compassionate person and fights for what he believes in and what you believe in.
If Mike was on the food chain in a tank full of lawyers that were all "sharks", he would be the creature that would slowly approach and respectively everyone of those sharks would clear his way in fear of the Alpha.
trusting him with this case for my daughter was by far the greatest choice I've ever made.
Something so delicate and in need of attention and with accurate precision Mike handled my case flawlessly.
His communication and Dedication to my every need, thought and feeling, Everything has been attended to.
This man gave me the opportunity to show the world the father I can and will forever be.
He fought for my rights and my family.
How can I ever find words that could truly express how grateful I eternally feel.
My God honest answer is trust this man with everything and do exactly what he tells you to do or advises you to do and you'll come out on top.
Mike's isn't just a lawyer but a close friend who just so happens to know the law and is willing to use everything in his power to ensure success for your favorable outcome.
Mike's humor is the perfect addition to every family and he's that guy that you get excited to talk to and talk about. Like yup that's my lawyer 😎
He went waaaaaaaaaay above and beyond countless times to help me resource and find facilities, contacted people and helped get things setup and made my life easy and breathable.
Mike is the answered prayer from God, coming from that feeling when you're lost at sea and feel like your drowning.
Mike is that guy that brings a row boat to rescue and says wait. Till you see the boat your about to be on as he rows you back to safety, letting you rest while he does all the hard work.
My sister recommended Mike in my custody case because she had previously hired him for a case regarding her daughter years ago.
Because of Mike and how hard he fights, I mean with every finite detail this guy is willing to examine and find specific law in, he helped my sister gain full custody of her daughter and split custody with mine.
The little girl that Mike fought for years ago, now gets to babysit her cousin in which he also helped create that possibility for. Our family gets to be a family because of him.
Mike Zywicki thank you for fighting for me and my opportunity to be a father.
Thank you for fighting for my niece and for my sister to be her mother. Without you, we wouldn't be the family we are today.
If every person had a heart like you, the world would be a much better place.

I hired Mr. Ryan Peterson in November 2022 for an alleged DUI offense that took place in Adams county courts here in Colorado. Mr. Peterson and I took the case all the way to try and won a NOT Guilty verdict with the Jury. Ryan is easy to work with and was definitely worth the free consultation and hiring! Now I’m able to move on and able to keep my license and life going. So thankful! I highly recommend Mr. Petersons services!

We were very pleased with the service we received from Merlin Law Group. Our attorney, Jonathan Bukowski, and his staff were responsive and timely to our inquiries and worked hard to get us fair treatment from the insurance company. We received the maximum we were allocated to get and would not have been able to do that without their help.

We so much appreciate the personal help and attention our son's lawyer, Chris Corkadel, gave to him and to us as parents. As out of state residents, all three of us needed help in dealing with our son's past traffic violation in Colorado, which prevented him from overcoming the suspension of his driver's license in any state. This in turn obviously blocked avenues of work and income during a time when the pandemic made it crucial to find jobs. Chris' experience with the courts in Colorado, his dedication, his friendly and warm listening skills, all worked together to result in a new driver's license for our son, and because of that, our son has a new lease on life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Juba on a landlord-tenant issue, and I am thoroughly impressed with his expertise and professionalism. Michael expertly navigated interactions with opposing counsel, skillfully reading the nuances of their approach and firmly refusing to take the bait. His strategic and composed handling of the situation led to a complete resolution, and I am 100% satisfied with the outcome. Michael’s dedication and adeptness make him an outstanding real estate attorney. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal assistance in this field!

We selected Michael Juba from among other lawyers because on our first phone call, he listened thoughtfully and carefully to our situation and concerns. His response was extremely kind and patient—exactly what we needed in our distress. From that first contact all the way to the end of the trial, he gave us confidence that he knew what he was doing, and he patiently taught us what we needed to know every step of the way.
As we came to know him—and later, his partner Daniel McGarvey—we found both to be compassionate, patient, hard-working, thorough, wise, and very smart. As our case unfolded, and it became evident that we were confronted with a cruel, incompetent, and stubborn prosecutor, Mr. Juba and Mr. McGarvey doubled down and took every step possible to bring the case to a close before ending up in a trial.
During the trial, we learned the extent to which Mr. Juba and Mr. McGarvey had prepared the case. They studied every angle, obtained every possible form of evidence, brought important legal precedence to the judge, and shaped their arguments clearly and professionally.
We kept reminding each other how grateful we were that we had the best lawyers possible. The year-long preparation and trial was a painful experience, but Mr. Juba and Mr. McGarvey were constantly comforting us as well as preparing for their arguments. We won the case decisively, and we hope no other family will have to endure what we faced, but if they do, we know that Mr. Juba and Mr. McGarvey will offer comfort, wisdom, and the highest legal skill.

Working with Mr. Katz as my husband's lawyer during a challenging and emotionally charged family matter case was an experience I won’t forget. His reputation in the Denver and Boulder courts speaks volumes—before he even entered the room, we could feel the respect and attention he commanded from the court officials. This immediately gave us a sense of confidence and trust in the process.
What truly stood out, though, was his exceptional accessibility. Mr. Katz always answered his own phone and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns, typically getting back to us the same day. His professionalism and dedication to his clients were evident throughout the entire case.
Mr. Katz's combination of expertise, his reputation, and his commitment to our case made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer who not only knows the law but also has the respect of the legal community.
Thank you, Mr. Katz, for your hard work and guidance during such a difficult time!

Michael Faye was my counsel for the last 3 years involving a case I got tangled up in towards the end of 2015. I was not ready for what was ahead of me when I was accused of being involved in a sex trafficking ring. All I can say is that Michael Faye was very helpful and resourceful. I still believe I have a lot to overcome, but at this moment I am thankful for the advice that was given to me through Mr. Faye. I recently was granted an early termination on my case. There are still lessons to be learned and work to be done. I hope to use Michael Faye's services in the future.

Mike was beyond amazing to work with. He is an incredible attorney and we got a favorable outcome on my case. From our first phone call he listened to me and was very sympathetic for my situation. I had spoke with several lawyers prior and they were not as kind or compassionate as he is.
This was my first time needing a lawyer. Mike helped make the entire process smooth and not intimidating. He is very good at his job and does it with ease. He is also very reasonably priced.
I fully recommend Mike if you are in need of an attorney. I hope to not need a criminal defense attorney in the future but if I do, Mike will be the one I call and who I refer people to.

Ed’s expertise and tenacity were evident throughout the entire process. He fought tirelessly to secure a substantial cash settlement for all the pain and suffering I endured. His commitment to my case and his ability to navigate the complexities of personal injury law were truly impressive.

Their thorough professionalism and attention to detail was incredible. They advised me throughout the entire process and were always honest and up front with me about my case. They were always prompt in responding to questions or giving me information about my case. I can't say enough at how well they presented my case when I finally got my day in court. There is no one else I would go to for legal representation in Colorado. Thank you Dan and Shelbi!

Charlie did a great job trying to defend my case. Although the DUI did not get dropped, he did get my careless driving dropped. DA was not budging on jail time. Danny stepped in at my last courtdate, and was able to get me IHD. On that, I was thankful. I feel I did get my $'s worth from this team. They really do try to get the best deal possible. I would say I would use them again. However I will not need their services in the future. As I will NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. Colorado has become tougher through the years for DUI. The cost alone with everything involved is not worth admitting to having a few drinks and refusing Breathalyzer or Blood tests! If you are ever in this situation, call these guys. They are not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. It is worth having this team of lawyers by your side through this process.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
