Serving Denver and Beyond
Attorney Vince Buckmelter, a Denver native, has more than 30 years of practicing law under his belt. He has a breadth of experience defending clients against criminal charges and advocating for those in personal injury and wrongful death cases.
Attorney J.Y. Kang has been practicing law for well over 30 years. During that time, he has advocated for the rights and freedoms of individuals facing criminal charges. He has also fought to get fair compensation for people who have been hurt in accidents.
Criminal and personal injury cases are complex, and those who have found themselves either facing charges or dealing with injuries from an accident need a representative who will take the time to hear their stories and advocate for them inside and outside of court. Both Attorney Kang and Attorney Buckmelter can do just that. Time and again, each attorney and their respective teams have helped individuals receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and more.
Over many years, both Vince and JY have helped their clients hear "not guilty" verdicts from juries or have criminal charges dismissed, dropped, or reduced prior to trial. Whether you are in Denver, Vail, Boulder, Aurora, Commerce City, Westminster, Arvada, Lakewood, or Golden, you can trust them.
