Christopher Sutton is an experienced litigator, focusing his current practice on a mix of Criminal Defense and Family Law. He brings over a decade of high-stakes courtroom experience to his practice, having spent nearly ten years as a District Attorney for El Paso County. During this time, he served for three years as a Special Victim’s Attorney, handling complex cases including sex crimes, felony child abuse, and multiple homicides. This experience instilled in him a deep commitment to finding justice for clients and giving back to the community.
Mr. Sutton’s path to law began with a strong interest in the environment. After earning his B.A. in Biology from Washington and Lee University, he worked as an environmental scientist, identifying liabilities in properties. A key experience working on a Superfund site solidified his decision to pursue law. He earned his J.D. from the University of Denver (DU), where he concentrated on environmental and criminal law.
Originally from Pottstown, PA, Christopher developed a lifelong love for the water, which he pursued as a varsity swimmer and water polo player (serving as captain in college). He continues his passion for active living today, enjoying hiking, skiing, and training children and adults for swimming and triathlons. He lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and their two dogs, often spending evenings relaxing with them while watching horror movies.
