Top Best Criminal Defense Lawyers | 26020 Available

I want my clients to know from the first time we speak how much I care about them and their case. I practice criminal defense because no one's life should be defined by their worst day, and because everyone has value and an important story to tell. Turning those values and that compassion into a zealous defense is at the core of the service Power Law provides.. I practice holistic criminal defense. This means that I not only strategically defend a client in the case they hire me for, but I will address any underlying concerns while we work together and set my clients up for success. I have extensive experience with cases involving mental health and substance use issues.. In addition to criminal defense, I am passionate about criminal justice policy reform and access to mental health, and I am involved in a number of organizations and projects to further those goals.

Experienced, knowledgeable, compassionate. I use my experiences with judges and as a prosecutor to secure excellent outcomes for clients in court.

While I am not a native to Colorado. I love this state and consider it my home. I grew up in Kansas the daughter of farmer and a homemaker. Not withstanding all the Wizard of Oz jokes I have to hear-it was a pretty good way to grow-up, and a good way to learn a strong work ethic. I came to Colorado immediately after law school, only wanting to practice in this state that I always loved visiting and vacationing growing up.. I practiced criminal law exclusively my first three years. Handling thousands of cases from misdemeanors to felony murder. I gained a lot of trial experience during these years. I then turned my attention to family law and have handled both family law and criminal law cases since.. When I am not practicing law. I love all out-door activies such as running, skiing, hiking, and walking my dog!

I grew up in Wyoming and eventually left country life for big city life for law school in San Diego, California. My love for the outdoors and physical activity brought me to Colorado where I enjoy spending my free time hiking, fly fishing, traveling and anything outdoors. I love new adventures that keep my life exciting. 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.

Matt Kellond has handled over a thousand cases, ranging from petty offenses to murder.  He understands that being charged with a crime, no matter what it is, can be an intimidating, confusing and overwhelming process.  Whether a first time DUI or the latest in a long line of criminal cases, a trip to the courtroom can impact your life greatly.  Kellond Law is committed to client-centered representation; everything is done with the client and the client’s goals in mind.  The only concern is how the client will be affected.  We understand that not only is your freedom at stake, but your ability to work, your quality of life and future can all be affected by the outcome of your case.. You need an attorney who has experience and will represent you at all stages of your case to get you the best outcome possible.  The best outcome possible is different for each case and for each client.  If that means taking your case to trial then we will provide zealous representation and fight for you every step of the way.  However, the reality is over 95% of criminal cases never go to trial.  They resolve either with a dismissal or a plea bargain.  Many times a plea bargain can be the best possible outcome for a particular client.  You need an Attorney who can accurately assess your case and effectually negotiate on your behalf.  Ultimately the decision whether to have a trial is yours, and your decision is the only one that matters.
