MEET ATTORNEY
BRUCE SARBAUGH
As a 4th generation Boulder native and CU Alum, Attorney Bruce Sarbaugh is proud to have served the front range with the highest quality legal representation since 1992. Bruce has litigated hundreds of cases and has over 25 years of trial experience in misdemeanor and felony criminal cases with an expertise in defending DUI cases. Bruce brings a unique insight in defending people from all walks of life, including clerical, medical, domestic, students, pilots, and educators, to name a few. A DUI charge can have devastating consequences and Bruce understands the special challenges you face when charged with a criminal or DUI offense, including not just potential legal consequences, but the emotional toll and stress in having to navigate the court system.
Bruce has extensive training and experience as a defense attorney and is one of only a handful of DUI defense attorneys to win a felony DUI jury trial.
Bruce’s philosophy is simple - It is important to retain legal counsel that is experienced, educated, and highly skilled in the specific defense of the crime with which you have been charged. Bruce has extensive training in the proper administration and interpretation of the DUI Standard Field Sobriety Tests (“roadside tests”), the mechanics and scientific principles involved in breath testing by the Intoxliyzer, as well as the blood testing process through the Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer analysis. In addition, Bruce has completed an intensive mediation training focusing on negotiation skills and effective persuasive argument logic which he uses in negotiating plea agreements with the District Attorney.
However, while experience, education, and skill are vital to a successful defense, Bruce has founded his practice on one guiding principle: It is equally, if not more important, to be responsive, candid, and communicate legal principles and strategies in terms that you can understand. That’s what makes The Sarbaugh Law Firm unique – Bruce’s ability to understand your unique circumstances and to communicate effectively the legal process, potential benefits and consequences, and the options available to you while providing sound advice as to how to proceed to obtain the best results in your case.
If you are facing a DUI, domestic violence, traffic offense, or other criminal charge, Bruce will help you understand the charges you are facing, the defenses to your case, and the strategies to employ to effectively defend your case. Schedule a FREE Consultation now.

CU Student Advocate
Bruce has worked with and for CU students his entire career and understands the unique circumstances a college student faces when charged with a DUI or criminal offense.
CU STUDENT REPRESENTATION
Student cases are unique and Bruce understands that CU college students charged with a criminal offense or municipal ordinance violation face many issues separate and apart from the court system. He realizes that not only is a criminal proceeding disruptive to a CU student's academic schedule, but compounds the emotional stress CU students face in achieving their academic and career goals.
Sanctions imposed by the office of Student Conduct, potential exclusion from the dorms, loss of scholarship or grant funding, and simply the stigma of a criminal charge can all have devastating consequences. In addition to nearly 30 years of experience as a criminal defense trial attorney, Bruce enjoys an excellent reputation with both Municipal and County court prosecutors to minimize the consequences that can derail a college career. That's what makes The Sarbaugh Law Firm your best choice in legal representation if you are a CU student or the parent of a CU student.
While many defense attorneys claim to have the knowledge and capability to represent CU college students, few, if any, can match the experience The Sarbaugh Law Firm brings to your defense. If you are a CU student or have a CU student charged with a criminal offense, let us put that experience to work for you.
