About

I am Daniel Mossinghoff and I am proud to be the Criminal Defense Director for Baumgartner Law, LLC. I have been a criminal defense trial attorney for almost all of the years I have been practicing. I am dedicated to protecting the rights of anyone accused of a crime and vindicating those wrongfully charged. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Regis University in 1996 and then graduated law school from the University of Colorado in 2000. As a fledging lawyer, I cut my teeth and learned trial work as a district attorney for four years. Fairly quickly, I realized I was not meant to work as a prosecutor and quit. I missed working with people and arguing to protect our Constitutional rights. Since then, I have been a criminal defense attorney for the last 16 years. I have defended thousands of clients in the areas of DUI defense, juvenile law, domestic violence and major felony cases--including homicide. I have tried over 250 jury trials and countless motions hearings. I have also presented or been published over a half dozen times in multiple areas of criminal defense. I also now represent citizens in Civil Rights cases with an emphasis on police misconduct and police brutality. This is a specialized area of law which many attorneys do not practice. Baumgartner Law specializes in this area. I find litigating Civil Rights matters is a natural evolution in my practice of criminal defense. Although this is a very challenging area of law, I also believe it has made me a much better attorney who can now focus on offering remedies to people who have suffered from police misconduct instead of only offering a defense.
