Jim Cross
Jim moved to Colorado to attend law school in 2010. After arriving in Colorado, it quickly became apparent to Jim why so many people migrate to this beautiful state. While in law school, Jim had his first exposure to the criminal justice system; first as an intern for the Colorado State Public Defender in Denver, and then as a student attorney with the criminal defense clinic at the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law. The inequities and power imbalance of our criminal justice system lit a fire in Jim that led to a career in criminal defense.
Following law school, Jim was immediately hired as a public defender and represented thousands of people accused of crimes ranging from minor offenses up to homicides in both Jefferson and El Paso Counties before ending his career as a public defender in 2016. Jim went on to work with a small firm, specializing in criminal defense, personal injury, and workers’ compensation, where he learned how to handle a civil litigation caseload and continued to hone his skills as a criminal defense attorney.
In 2019 Jim left the firm to open JW Cross Law LLC. He has returned to focus on his legal roots and now handles criminal cases ranging from petty offenses to serious felonies.
