Former Prosecutor Fighting for You
When you are facing criminal charges, the attorney you choose can make the difference between freedom and incarceration. The McDowell Law Firm is a premier criminal defense practice in Colorado Springs, led by Attorney Josh McDowell. As a former Deputy District Attorney for the 4th Judicial District, Josh brings a unique insider’s perspective to every case. He knows how prosecutors think, how they build their cases, and where the weaknesses lie. This experience allows him to craft strategic, effective defenses for his clients. Whether you are accused of a DUI, a drug offense, or a violent crime, we provide aggressive representation that protects your constitutional rights and your future.
Comprehensive Criminal Defense
We focus exclusively on criminal defense, dedicating 100% of our resources to fighting for the accused. We understand the high stakes involved in these cases. Our practice areas include:
- DUI/DWAI Defense: Challenging the validity of traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and chemical tests to save your license and your record 🍺.
- Domestic Violence: Navigating the complex and often emotional landscape of DV charges, including protection order violations.
- Drug Crimes: Defending against charges of possession, distribution, and manufacturing involving controlled substances.
- Felony Defense: Handling serious charges such as assault, burglary, and robbery with the rigor required for high-stakes litigation.
- Traffic Violations: protecting your driving privileges from habitual traffic offender status.
Personalized Attention
At The McDowell Law Firm, you will not be passed off to a junior associate or a paralegal. You will work directly with an experienced attorney who cares about the outcome of your case. We believe in clear, honest communication. We will explain the charges against you, the potential penalties, and the legal strategies available to us. We are known for our responsiveness and our ability to ease the anxiety that comes with navigating the criminal justice system.
Located in the Plaza of the Rockies
Our office is located in the prestigious Plaza of the Rockies building in downtown Colorado Springs. This central location places us just blocks away from the El Paso County Courthouse, allowing for efficient court appearances and filings. We offer free initial consultations to discuss your case and begin building your defense immediately.
I’ve stood on the other side of the courtroom. I use that experience to dismantle the prosecution’s case and secure the best possible result for you.
