Details

Marshall Breit is a founding member of Mulligan Breit, LLC.  He is a seasoned litigator with extensive trial experience.  His practice focuses on complex criminal defense matters across the State of Colorado including first-degree murder, sexual assault, vehicular homicide, child abuse, and domestic violence.

Marshall routinely represents individuals and organizations that are targets, subjects, or witnesses in state and federal criminal investigations.  He also represents organizations in managing crisis regulatory and criminal matters, including internal investigations. 

For more than a decade, a significant portion of Marshall’s practice has been devoted to sexual assault / sexual misconduct defense.  He has vast experience representing clients charged with sex offenses in pre-file investigations, at the trial level (clients who have been formally charged), and in post-conviction proceedings.   Marshall has secured countless victories on behalf of his clients including: “no file determinations,” acquittals at trial, and the complete dismissal of charges.  He routinely teaches other attorneys across the state on sexual assault defense strategies.  He has also served as an expert witness defining the  professional competency standards for attorneys who represent clients charged with sexual offenses.  

Prior to forming Mulligan Breit, LLC, Marshall was a trial attorney with Colorado State Public Defender’s Office.  Although he is a Colorado native, Marshall obtained his undergraduate degree from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia and returned to Colorado for law school.

Marshall has consistently been recognized as one of the preeminent criminal defense attorneys in Colorado by Super Lawyers, 5280 Magazine, and The National Trial Lawyers Association.  He is a faculty member with the Colorado Alternate Defense Counsel and a long-standing member of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar.
