Mesa County's Trusted Criminal Defense Professionals

Experienced Criminal Defense Across Colorado's Western Slope Hub

Mesa County residents living in the largest population center on Colorado's Western Slope need a criminal defense attorney who matches the scale and pace of this growing community. With Grand Junction serving as the regional hub for healthcare, commerce, and transportation between Denver and Salt Lake City, the county's population of more than 155,000 residents generates a high volume of criminal and traffic cases across a sprawling geographic area. From the Grand Valley to Fruita, Palisade, and surrounding communities, law enforcement activity along Interstate 70 and Highway 50 keeps local courts busy year-round.

Knifer Law extends its criminal defense services to Mesa County residents with the same personal approach that has defined our practice across the Western Slope. Cody Knifer handles DUI, DWAI, traffic violations, protection orders, and general criminal defense matters with nearly a decade of courtroom experience. Every client receives a one-on-one consultation where we review the details of your case, explain your options, and develop a strategy focused on protecting your rights and your future.

Fighting for Your Driving Privileges and Your Freedom

Mesa County's role as a regional transportation corridor means that a significant number of criminal charges in the area involve traffic-related offenses. Whether you were stopped on the interstate, on a highway connecting smaller communities, or within Grand Junction city limits, the consequences of a conviction can include license suspension, heavy fines, and a permanent mark on your record. For residents who commute across this large county for work, losing driving privileges can be devastating.

Our defense practice takes an evidence-driven approach to every case. We examine police procedures, review breathalyzer and field sobriety records, analyze body camera footage, and challenge any element of the prosecution's case that does not hold up under scrutiny. For clients facing both criminal court proceedings and DMV administrative hearings, we manage both tracks to give you the strongest possible defense on every front.
