Mr. Heim gained years of experience in trial law working as a deputy district attorney for the District Attorney Offices of Arapahoe, Douglas, El Paso, and Teller Counties. For the DA Offices of Teller and El Paso County, he worked as the Senior Deputy District Attorney, specializing in high-profile homicide cases and crimes against children, all-the-while managing a team of attorneys, investigators, and paralegals.
When it comes to DUI defense, I have an exceptional record of success with first-time DUIs, multiple DUI offenses, underage DUIs, and DMV Hearings. I am certified to administer the breathalyzer test, which gives me a unique insight into how to defend against incorrect police procedures. If you retain the services of my firm, you will be choosing a top-rated DUI defense lawyer in Colorado Springs who is qualified to teach other lawyers and law enforcement professionals about criminal procedure & evidence. You only have 1 week to request a DMV hearing, which is the first step in the DUI defense process, so don’t hesitate to call my firm.
For nearly three decades, Colorado Springs criminal defense attorney Geoff Heim has protected the rights of Colorado residents providing expert legal guidance so that his clients can make informed decisions about their futures.
Before practicing as a Colorado Springs criminal defense attorney, Geoff was a Deputy District Attorney in the District Attorneys’ Offices of Arapahoe, Douglas, El Paso, and Teller Counties. While serving the community in the latter two offices, Geoff was the Senior Deputy District Attorney, specializing in high-profile homicide cases and crimes against children while managing a team of attorneys, investigators, and paralegals.
This invaluable experience has allowed Geoff to hone his skills as a criminal defense attorney in Colorado Springs, gaining essential insight into how the prosecution builds its cases, its strategies, and its courtroom tactics to effectively anticipate the prosecution’s arguments and weaknesses. Our law office’s deep understanding of criminal law, procedures, and rules of evidence provides a solid foundation for our defense work, benefiting our clients at every turn.

Beyond personal compatibility and communication, you should consider factors like an attorney’s:
The initial consultation lets Geoff delve deeper into your case, ask you questions about the circumstances, and discuss potential strategies. It is also a chance for you to ask Geoff questions about his approach and experience so you can make an informed decision about partnering with the right defense lawyer.
Legal fees can vary based on factors such as the severity of the criminal charge(s), a case’s complexity, an individual’s criminal history, and other aspects that may impact the time it will take to reach a disposition. In some cases, Geoff typically charges a flat fee and offers flexible payment options to ensure that anyone can access experienced legal representation.
Not all criminal cases go to trial. Many are resolved through negotiations with the District Attorney’s Office. We will assess the specifics of your case and discuss the likelihood of trial based on the available evidence and what we believe is the best course of action for your unique legal circumstances.
Even a first offense in Colorado carries serious weight, including potential license suspension. To oppose the loss of your driver’s license, you will start by requesting an administrative hearing – this request must occur within one week of your arrest. Geoff can advise you on how to request your hearing and represent you at the DMV action, bettering your chances of preserving your license.

– D.B.
“I have known Geoff as a friend and attorney for nearly 20 years. He and I came up the ranks as DA’s in El Paso County-Colorado Springs. From early on, through this day, I am confident in saying that Geoff is one of the most creative, intelligent, hardworking and pleasant attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with. Geoff went into private practice several years before me and I have often consulted with him on cases both as a DA and now private attorney. He is always collegial, responsive and strategically very clever. To this day, we consult regularly on major criminal cases. Since I am in Denver and he is in Colorado Springs, I do not hesitate in referring him to clients who need a top-notch attorney in El Paso and surrounding counties.”

Scott Gadberry
Welcoming, professional and friendly. Great people, Geoff was great and Molly was awesome!
Darius Moore
Wish I would have took this gentleman’s advice. He was upfront and honest and that is scarce in this day and age.
Christopher Tichy
While using Mr. Heim’s legal services, he and his team, provided nothing short of above and beyond. I will always highly recommend his services to anyone who is seeking legal assistance in the area.
Levi Sandoval
Geoff handled a minor traffic infraction I had in a timely manner, and, although I am not an expert, and one could say, allergic to legal matters, I found the settlement he obtained to be more than accommodating. More importantly, he takes the anxiety and fear out of what can be a daunting, painful process. As with anything of worth there are costs involved, however, he worked withing my budget. What should also be noted is that Geoff is a caring, and approachable human being, yet a highly organized and effective attorney.
John Roebke
The justice system is best navigated with a true professional on your side. I hired Geoff Heim to represent me on a case that I honestly didn’t think that I would stand a chance in winning. During the initial consultation, Geoff provided much needed reassurance that we did have traction and that there were certain aspects of the case that may return a potential dismissal or “lessor charged” verdict. Communication throughout the entire process was absolutely solid. I could call or email, and all questions were answered promptly. Geoff made sure that I completely understood all aspects of the case and the potential outcomes, in terms that I could easily understand. In the end, we ended up prevailing in my case as a dismissal was granted. I am confident that the dismissal would not have happened if it weren’t for Geoff. Thanks again for helping me succeed during a very difficult time!
Kelly Korte
Geoff provided expert legal advice, guidance, and representation in a kind compassionate manner. Always professional, but has a way about him that allows you as the client to feel complete trust in him. The outcome from my case could not have gone better. Geoff spent extra time and was willing to go back additional dates to ensure that the desired outcome was reached despite significant additional time commitment on his part. I am sincerely grateful for the service from Geoff as well as his assistant Molly who were both always quick to respond to any question no matter how trivial. In a time of great uncertainty it was extremely comforting having Geoff at my side.
Eric Richter
I referred a friend to Geoff because I had him represent me a while back with my case. Geoff is a stand up attorney. He cares about his clients and will go the extra mile to make sure your needs are taken care of.
SA ALTONEN
Knowledgeable and empathetic lawyer. Fantastic team behind him and a pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Tyler Wengert
Geoff helped my adult daughter twice with two very difficult situations. Even though it was a tense time for us all where emotions ran high, Geoff was always professional and working for the best for she and I. The outcome was wonderful and I appreciate it so much.
Pam Barber
If you need a great Lawyer and knows what he is doing. This is the man to go to! The years I was facing vs what I actually got was amazing. Thank you so much Geoff Heim. You’re the man and thank you again for you help.
Estevan Gaitan
super helpful thank you for all your help and insight!
Jim Briscoe
During COVID lockdown Geoff was able to help my brother. He and Molly were great to work with! I recommend Geoff to anyone needing a defense attorney.
Marsha Looper
I sent a request to Mr. Heim’s offices regarding some DUI/DMV issues I was having. I quickly received a response from Molly Hogan out of that office who asked for some additional information. When I provided it, she quickly looked up my cases and was able to offer me some invaluable information. The office didn’t make any attempt to charge me, nor force me into a consultation. They assisted me for no benefit, and it saved me time and difficulty. That shows integrity and a real desire to help when possible. I expected to need to pay for the expertise I received. Hopefully, I’ll never need an attorney again, but I’d go here without hesitation. My sincerest thanks to this office!
