Overview

Tiftickjian Law Firm, P.C. is Colorado’s premier DUI defense firm, located in Denver’s Bonnie Brae neighborhood. We focus exclusively on defending Driving Under the Influence (DUI), drug-related offenses, and serious traffic matters across the state. With a team of seasoned attorneys and dedicated staff members, we bring strategic, results-driven representation to individuals facing criminal charges that can impact their lives, licenses, and livelihoods.

Led by Jay Tiftickjian—recognized by Best Lawyers as a “Lawyer of the Year” and featured on the cover of Super Lawyers magazine—our firm has been consistently voted as Colorado’s top DUI defense team for more than a decade. Mr. Tiftickjian is a former Colorado Deputy District Attorney and former President of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar. In addition to his courtroom success, he is a nationally respected legal author and editor of multiple DUI and drug law publications, including the acclaimed treatise Colorado DUI Defense: The Law and Practice.

Client-Centered Advocacy

At Tiftickjian Law Firm, we start by understanding the person behind the case. We conduct an in-depth review of the facts, legal issues, and client background before crafting a personalized defense strategy. We recognize that every client has distinct goals—whether it’s dismissal, negotiation, license preservation, or minimizing penalties—and we tailor our efforts accordingly.

Communication is foundational to our approach. We ensure that clients are consistently informed, involved, and supported throughout the legal process. From promptly addressing concerns to offering clear guidance on court proceedings, we take pride in offering both strategic legal counsel and peace of mind.

DUI Defense is What We Do

We don’t dabble in DUI defense—it’s the core of our practice. Our attorneys prepare every case for trial from day one while actively seeking efficient, client-focused resolutions when appropriate. With expertise in both alcohol- and drug-related DUIs, we leverage deep legal knowledge, scientific scrutiny, and courtroom experience to challenge the prosecution’s case at every stage.

We understand the nuances of local courtrooms, the tendencies of prosecutors, and the variables that influence sentencing. Our ability to balance aggressive trial advocacy with smart negotiation gives our clients the benefit of both worlds.
