I learned from an early age what the power of the state can do to a family. I know from personal experience that the justice system is not always just. I never lived in an ivory tower, and I do not want to live in one. I know that innocent people are accused of crimes every day. I apologize to no one for the work I have done for the wrongly accused. It is my job to fight for you. I will not sleep until I get justice for you. I truly love our justice system, but the people I have known in my personal and professional life and the people I have represented as a defense attorney have proven to me that while our system is broken, my skills as a defense attorney can truly make a difference. I am passionate about defending the accused because I know that I can even the odds. I can create justice where it did not exist before. There is no case too small. There is no person accused by the state I won’t use my gift to help. I am dedicated to defending each of my clients as if they were a member of my family, and I chose to partner with Daniel Mossinghoff because I know he will do the same.. I had the opportunity to take advantage of my athletic abilities coming out of high school, but I was single minded in my desire to have the opportunity to fight for the accused. I graduated from Occidental College and quickly passed up professional athletic opportunities at home and abroad to pursue my passion in the law. While I was a student at the University of Denver School of Law, I worked long into the night to be successful in my classes while working full time as an intern for the district attorneys office and balancing raising a daughter with my second on the way. I maintained a high GPA and accomplished my goals. I know what work means. I do not know what life is without hard work. I will never give you less than my best.. When I passed the bar exam, I was immediately offered a job in prosecution. I applied my work ethic and quickly moved through the ranks of the DA’s office. I tried cases on a weekly basis and honed my trial skills throughout my five year prosecution career. I learned the politics that all DA’s have to deal with. I learned what juries think about real cases, and I learned the skills that are truly needed to bring justice to each case. I worked my way from an intern, to a line deputy, to a county court supervisor in both Douglas and Arapahoe counties. I worked diligently in juvenile prosecution, and I learned the every day politics and pitfalls that every family in that system should know. I prosecuted felonies and saw how perilous it is for a defendant to face a felony without the help of an attorney. I learned how the system will fail you. I spent a long time training DA’s, training the police, and training myself on how to properly administer justice. I have successfully tried countless cases. I understand the system you that has accused you and how to deal with the politics that stand in the way of a truly just result. I believe that the only thing that stands between the government an justice is a truly great defense attorney. I am that attorney, and I am in the prime of my career.. When I was a prosecutor, I learned from the best of the best. I honed my skills and learned their weaknesses. They are not weak, and they have a lot of power; my experience can protect you. When I left prosecution, I did so to become an expert criminal defense attorney. I have spent the last seven years making myself the best defense attorney I can be. My life experience, my real world training and my last seven years as a defense attorney help me to know that I am the best attorney for your case; the DA’s know it, the Courts know it when you take the time to talk to me. Call me so I can prove it to you for free.. I decided to leave prosecution when I realized that the politics of that position would interfere with my obligation to do justice. I saw that I could do much more to help people by using my skills to help the accused. It was the best decision I have ever made. I have lost count of the cases I have won; I stopped counting because my ego is not what drives my desire to fight. The authentic appreciation that my clients have is what drives me. I must do the best that I can for everyone that entrusts me with their life changing experience. My drive to do my best is what keeps me up at night. Your case is what I live for. I promise to give you all that I have; nothing else is acceptable to me.. I met Daniel Mossinghoff while we were young prosecutors. His trial skills are the best I have ever seen. His dedication to protecting the constitution is unparallelled, and his passion to seek justice for our clients is awe inspiring. I fought to have him bring his skills to our former firm of Fife, Mangnall and Mossinghoff. His dedication to the law, to justice and most importantly to our clients makes me feel honored to work with him.

John Garland has a reputation for excellence as a trial lawyer, a reputation built on over a decade of experience trying cases in both State and Federal Courts.  John comes from a long line of trial lawyers, which includes his father, Ed Garland, his grandfather and the firm's founder, Reuben A. Garland, his great-grandfathers and numerous uncles.  From this heritage came three cherished tenets: advocate vigorously for the Client, put the Client’s interests above all else, and respect the great responsibility of the lawyer’s role as last and only guardian of the Client’s freedom.. When John Garland graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.A. degree, magna cum laude, he could have chosen any number of professions to pursue, but his instincts, his innate talents and his family legacy all directed his focus on the law.  A native of Atlanta, John selected the law school of the University of Georgia where he graduated cum laude in 2004, and then he joined his father, Ed Garland, at Garland, Samuel & Loeb. He focuses on advocacy at the trial level, including criminal defense, personal injury, and product liability.. John has successfully handled many complex cases. Some notable cases as decibed in the "Legal Cases" section below.

For just about every business day over the last 22 years, attorney Hendrick Crowell has fought in the courtroom to get the best possible result for his clients. Whether it is persuading an insurance company to pay damages over one million dollars, or persuading a judge to allow a father and husband to keep his license to be able to provide for his family, Mr. Crowell’s unfailing desire for the best result for his clients is what has built his reputation. Whether the case is on a contingency basis and the client has not paid a penny up front, or a flat fee matter where the client is putting their money and trust in the firm, Mr. Crowell understands that it is an honor to produce excellent results for that client, and to be placed in that position of trust means the only thing he can do is deliver.. But of course, many attorneys care about their clients and their work, so what is it that differentiates the successful attorney? In addition to natural ability and just plain years of experience, Mr. Crowell believes that one’s resources are important. This is why he employs a team of professionals working with him that is unmatched in the area. Whether they are university graduates or just plain street smart with years of experience, he has surrounded himself with successful and bright staff members. Every singe week- without exception- the staff members sit down together and strategize on the week to come and work out the details of how we can make success happen for our clients.. Mr. Crowell also knows that while the members of his staff are important assets to the success of the firm, it is equally important to have outside resources to call upon when necessary. If someone in our legal community has shown a particular ability to produce a needed result, Mr. Crowell is humble enough to seek that resource, no matter the cost. There have been numerous times where an associated attorney earns more than our firm for a particular matter, but the truth is that the result is what is important in the case. We have enjoyed much success over the years and the fees will come, but we realize that the result we get is what matters, and the referrals are a byproduct of this and will continue to come.

I believe that representing clients is a great responsibility and privilege.  I take a personal approach to each client and to each case.  You will have direct contact with the attorney handling your case, never having your legal matters handled by a paralegal, secretary or associate attorney.. As an experienced litigator with over 17 years of experience, I have experience handling the following types of cases, child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support/alimony, marital property division, allocating debt, QDRO's, dividing retirement accounts, enforcement, modificaition, orders of protection, domestic violence and juvenile matters.  If you are contemplating filing for divorce, or your spouse has filed for divorce, please contact me.  I will counsel you on the divorce process and help you prepare for the future.
