Steven was raised in the Denver area and has spent most of his life in Colorado.  He graduated from Colorado State University at which time he became a deputy sheriff with the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office.  As a sheriff's deputy he started to recognize the injustices against those accused of committing a crime.  The system always seemed to be stacked against them.  He decided to leave the sheriff's office to attend law school to support the rights of those accused.  Mr. Franger graduated Cum Laude from Thomas M. Cooley in Lansing Michigan.  After graduation he returned home to begin his new commitment to support and fight for the rights of the accused.  Since then, he has represented clients from charges of DUI to murder.. Mr. Franger's commitment to his clients is unmistakable.  He displays this by personal attention to the case and to his clients.  He is usually the one who answers the firm's phones and is available 24 hours a day.  Steven also recognizes that being accused of a crime can be an uncertain and scary situation for both the client and their family, which most people have not planned for.  This is why Mr. Franger offers flexible payment plans for his clients..

I grew up in Wyoming and eventually left country life for big city life for law school in San Diego, California.

I carry my passion for adventure over to my litigation work in criminal and family matters, allowing me to treat every case with ambition and creativity.

I focus on my client's individual needs and goals, because each client is different and has his or her own perspective.  I aim to be a problem-solver and work to get the best result possible for my client, whether through taking a case to trial or thoughtful settlement.  I will walk with you every step of the way..

I am originally from Louisville, KY and attended the University of Kentucky for my undergraduate degree. I quickly changed my major from Music Performance to Marketing and prepared to use my experience and education to join the business of music. However, during my senior year a lawyer in Lexington suggested I consider becoming an attorney. I immediately registered for the LSAT and enrolled at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School (Western Michigan University).. Following law school, I began my career as an Assistant Jefferson County Prosecutor. From there, I briefly worked at a large personal injury firm until I opened my own firm. From 2011 to 2019, I handled cases ranging from criminal defense, personal injury, family law, and small claims disputes. In 2019 I moved to Colorado Springs and in 2021 I moved to the Centennial/Littleton area after meeting my wife. After working for another personal injury firm and a firm handling business litigation, I felt exceedingly unfulfilled. I missed the work I did as a criminal defense attorney.. Being charged with a criminal offense can be incredibly scary. I am aware that emotions run high because your liberties are at risk. I will listen to your concerns, keep you informed, and aim to take as much worry from your plate. I pride myself on being a proven negotiator and litigator.. Please reach out to me for a consultation. I look forward to helping you through the stressful process of the criminal justice system.
