About Our Law Firm

AN ATTORNEY WHO CARES
ABOUT US

David Johnson

Hello. I’m David H. Johnson. I have been working with individuals in legal trouble for the last 35 years. During this time I’ve learned a lot about the people in northern Colorado. In particular, I’ve realized people charged with crimes are generally good people. It’s the bad choice that got them in trouble. Solve this issue and clients are able to find their success to move forward.

I began my career in 1986 where I served as a deputy district attorney in the 8th Judicial District in Larimer County, Colorado. After gaining extensive experience prosecuting criminal cases, I began my own private practice in 1993. My law practice focuses on criminal defense and personal injury law. In 1995, I became a shareholder at Liggett, Johnson and Goodman, P.C. Our law firm is just two blocks from the beautiful Colorado State University campus on Canyon and Whitcomb, just north of Mulberry Street.

A good trial attorney possesses the skills of negotiation and trial savvy. With extensive knowledge and training in negotiation and my years of trial experience, I am in the perfect position to help you when you’re facing criminal charges. I understand your case is unique. The facts and circumstances of your case are important in preparing your defense. By learning these factors I can effectively assist you with your legal needs. As a compassionate advocate, I will work tirelessly as we strive to reach a successful outcome.

In my free time I enjoy relaxing in nature. From going on hikes with my dog, Nelson, doing chores with my wife, Jill on our farm, or practicing Kundalini yoga, it is always nice to get grounded in all the beauty Colorado has to offer.

An Advocate For You

I realize we all make bad choices from time to time. At times it may feel that life is not fair. Maybe you did something without contemplating the long-term consequences. Or maybe drugs or alcohol impaired your choice.

Now facing criminal charges, you feel overwhelmed. What’s going to happen to you and your family. Your mind imagines worst case scenarios. Will you lose your job? Will you go to jail? Will you be able to support your family? Will you lose the security you’ve created for yourself?

I will help you maneuver these obstacles as well as represent you in the courtroom. I take a holistic approach in working with clients. It is important to look at the whole as we address the legal charges you face. With sound legal advice we will get things moving in the right direction for you.

My Philosophy

Every case is unique and needs thorough investigation. From the moment I’m hired, I’ll be an advocate for you and will build the strongest case I can with the evidence available.

I regularly work with investigators and experts in the fields of medicine, accident reconstruction and forensics. It is through this process we can determine the best approach for your case.

Most cases do not go to trial. Through negotiation, often a favorable plea agreement can be achieved. However, for those times when an appropriate resolution cannot be reached, I will zealously represent you in court.

Counsel That Respects You

My clients come from all walks of life. From CSU students, to professors, parents, business owners, employees, and repeat offenders in northern Colorado, I’ve represented them all. You’re worried, scared, and disappointed. Understandable. I’m here to help. You will be treated with the respect you deserve. I’ll help you find a solution that protects your rights and gives you the opportunity to move forward. I encourage you not to beat yourself up over this. You’re a good person that made a bad choice. Don’t let this case label you.

To find more information or to schedule your free consultation at the Fort Collins Justice office, call 970-404-8884. We’d love to hear from you.
