About
Barker & Tolini PC
Our clients have lives and families. They have a future, and they deserve an opportunity to protect it with help from a strong, committed criminal defense lawyer.
At Barker & Tolini PC we uphold our clients' constitutional rights and fight back against the circumstances that have landed them in the criminal justice system. We challenge the evidence against them and find opportunities for reduced charges, reduced sentences and the prevention of incarceration.
A Firm Belief In Your Right To Strong Defense
Our firm is composed of attorneys Jeff Barker & Joshua Tolini. Together, they bring more than 50 years of combined experience in Colorado criminal defense. Their passion for law is founded in an awareness of the biased nature of much of the criminal justice system. Even early on in their careers, it was evident to both Mr. Barker and Mr. Tolini that racial profiling, illegal search and seizure and otherwise unjust incrimination happens every day at the hands of law enforcement and prosecution.
Experience has shown them not only the challenging circumstances their clients are up against, but also how to uncover the creative and technical details that make a difference in cases of drug offenses, DUIs, domestic violence, sex offenses and accusations of violent crimes.
Our law firm is known as one of the most imaginative and effective criminal defense firms in Colorado Springs, CO and throughout Colorado. It is demonstrated in the high-profile cases we have worked, including sophisticated cases that involved taking on the Drug Enforcement Administration's federal task force and the COMMIT Team.
We have always been on the defense side of criminal law, never the prosecution.
We firmly believe in what we do and in our ability to help you in this challenging time of your life.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
"Professional service, and a successful case, what more could I ask. Oh and also ended up being less expensive than I originally thought. So really ,what more could I ask!"- Sasha G.★★★★★
"Josh Tolini is amazing! He’s worked for several people I know and is really exceptional at what he does."- Chelsea M★★★★★
Very Sharp Attorney"With several prior felonies, the District Attorney was not offering anything less than 4 years DOC on a plea deal. Trial would not have been a good bet in my case as I was looking at 40+ years in prison. I asked Jeff for help. He surely went the distance for me, fought for a lesser DOC sentence plea, and at the eleventh hour, his persistence allowed for an offer of 2 years Probation. I can't thank him enough. Whatever language he used on my behalf saved my life and also the lives of my worried family members. You will make the right decision by placing your trust in Jeff, trust me."- Mike
