Tillman Clark
Tillman Clark Law
Headquartered in Denver, Tillman Clark has been exclusively dedicated to criminal defense practice for his entire career. For over a decade, Tillman has zealously and passionately worked in almost every area of criminal defense.
Tillman founded this firm with a singular focus: To help people who have been convicted but refuse to give up hope. Too often people caught in the criminal justice system don’t know all their options once their case is “closed” by a judge. But that word — “guilty” — isn't the end of your story, and justice doesn't stop when the gavel falls. Tillman understands that behind every case file, every transcript, and every conviction is a human being whose life hangs in the balance, someone who deserves an advocate willing to dig deeper, look harder, fight longer and tell your story.
Since founding the firm in 2021, Tillman has successfully challenged convictions through appeals and postconviction proceedings. He has exonerated clients who were found guilty at trial, cut decades off prison of sentences, and argued multiple cases in front of the Colorado Supreme Court. He focuses on careful investigation, precise legal research and writing, and an unwavering dedication to finding the overlooked details that can turn a case around. His experience as a trial attorney gives him a distinct advantage in appellate and postconviction work, and he knows exactly where to look for the errors and oversights that could make the difference in your case.
Tillman takes pride in building genuine and authentic connections with his clients while ensuring the kind of focused, exclusive representation that complex appellate cases demand.

2. State the legal basis for dismissal - likely insufficient evidence to establish probable cause
3. Present facts showing the prosecution cannot prove essential elements of criminal mischief
4. Address how the evidence ... Read More
- Q. Can the mid-interrogation invocation of my Miranda rights be used against me in court?
- A: Generally, the mere fact that you invoked Miranda rights after a specific question cannot be used against you in court as evidence of guilt.
The analysis definitely depends heavily on whether you were in custody when questioned. Miranda only applies during custodial interrogation, and traffic stops occupy a legal gray area. Statements made before properly invoking rights may still be admissible. The prosecution cannot typically argue that invoking rights at a specific moment suggests guilt.
This situation involves nuanced constitutional considerations that vary based on custody status, questioning methods, and how clearly you invoked your rights.
