A compact but formidable litigation boutique serving clients in complex civil, criminal, antitrust, and environmental matters — across Colorado and nationwide.
The founders of Richilano Shea, John Richilano and Kevin Shea, grew up in the courtroom. Between them they have tried more than 100 civil and criminal cases to verdict. Kevin spent 25 years with two of the largest firms in the Rocky Mountain region; John spent nine years as a public defender followed by 20 years in boutique practice. Combined, they provided the best of both worlds: big-firm expertise with a personal touch.
Kevin has now retired, but John continues his fierce passion for his criminal practice with “fire in the belly.” Together with the help of Of Counsel Keyonyu O’Connell, John’s leadership of the firm guarantees uniquely favorable results for his clients.
