Biography

Patterson Weaver is an experienced trial attorney dedicated to providing his clients with first-class personalized service and excellent outcomes.

As a former felony prosecutor, Mr. Weaver tried cases ranging from DUIs to felony Crime of Violence cases, with an outstanding rate of success. While a County Court prosecutor, Patterson became one of the few attorneys in the state of Colorado to try and win an evidentiary “Shreck” hearing on the admissibility of Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) testimony. For his efforts, the Pikes Peak Region DUI Taskforce gave him the “Complex Prosecution Award." More recently, Mr. Weaver has earned a Superb rating from AVVO and accolades from a number of professional organizations including the Super Lawyers, National Trial Lawyers, National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys, and the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys.

Since founding his own firm, Patterson Weaver Law, Mr. Weaver has expanded his practice areas to include probate litigation and personal injury. Mr. Weaver has successfully litigated several multi-million dollar probate litigations.

Legal Answers
Q. I just went to trial on on a crimail case and was found guilty by a 6 man jury. Is that correct or is it 12 ?
A: In Colorado, juries in misdemeanor cases are 6 people. Juries in felony cases get the full 12 jurors. If your case was a misdemeanor case 6 jurors would be the norm.
