Hello,
I’m Jay Tiftickjian, a dedicated Denver DUI attorney and the founder of Tiftickjian Law Firm, Colorado’s only law firm exclusively focused on DUI defense. I’m honored that you are considering our team to help you through what is undoubtedly a challenging time.
Trusted and Recognized Colorado DUI Defense Lawyer
My practice is built on defending individuals charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and related offenses throughout Colorado. I’m proud to have been recognized in Colorado Super Lawyers Magazine and to have received consistent accolades over the past two decades.
Jay Tiftickjian on Super Lawyers Cover
For 17 consecutive years, I’ve been named a Colorado Super Lawyer, and I’ve been voted Colorado’s Best DUI Attorney by the state’s official bar journal for more than a decade. I’m also the only attorney in Colorado to have served as both a Deputy District Attorney and the elected president of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar.
Our firm’s reputation is backed by over a decade of five-star client reviews and hundreds of successful outcomes.
Why I Focus Exclusively on DUI Defense
I made a deliberate choice to focus solely on DUI defense—because I genuinely like the clients I serve. DUI clients are often good people who made a mistake, not hardened criminals or bad actors. Helping these individuals is deeply fulfilling and aligns with my values as an attorney.
My legal foundation began in law school in the 1990s, where I earned top honors in criminal law and trial evidence. I then served as a Deputy District Attorney for Adams and Broomfield Counties, prosecuting DUI and drug cases. This role gave me a deep understanding of how DUI cases are assembled—knowledge that I now use to dismantle weak prosecutions and advocate effectively for my clients.
Founding Tiftickjian Law Firm – Colorado’s DUI Defense Leader
In 2006, I founded Tiftickjian Law Firm, now recognized as Colorado’s top DUI defense practice. Since then, I’ve handled thousands of DUI cases, obtained hundreds of dismissals, and built a team known for excellence in DUI defense across the state.
As a Denver DUI attorney, I’ve invested in extensive training in:
-
Breath and blood test analysis
-
Field sobriety testing
-
Drugged driving evaluation
-
Gas chromatography and the Intoxilyzer 9000
Thought Leadership and Legal Education
My work extends beyond the courtroom. I regularly train lawyers and judges across the country, including for:
-
The National College for DUI Defense
-
The Colorado Bar Association
-
The Colorado Criminal Defense Bar
-
Denver County Court
-
Bar associations in Missouri, Oklahoma, Alaska, New Mexico, and more
I’ve authored and edited multiple legal publications, including Colorado DUI Defense: The Law and Practice and the Colorado Bar Association’s DUI Defense Manual.
In 2023, I was honored to be named “Lawyer of the Year” for my contributions to DUI defense in Colorado.
