Upon his graduation in 1995, he was hired as a Deputy State Public Defender as a trial attorney. Mr.Decker practice as a Deputy State Public Defender for more than a decade and was assigned to the Colorado Springs, Arapahoe, Douglas, Adams and Denver trial offices. During his years of service as a Public Defender he handled literally thousands of criminal cases ranging from D.U.I. to murder in the first degree. Mr. Decker has won numerous and significant trial verdicts for his appointed clients. He has won complete acquittals in cases charging sexual assault, first and second degree assault, drug possession and distribution, burglary, theft, menacing, witness intimidation, kidnapping and murder. He has also written several successful criminal appeals being published in People v. Lewis, 975 P.2d 160 (Colo. 1999); and again in People v. Borland Robertson, 56 P.3d 121 (Colo. App. 2002).
Mr. Decker has achieved significant peer recognition for his tenacious work over the 21 years of his legal practice. In 2001 he was honored with appointment to the Colorado Criminal Justice Act Panel of Federal defense attorneys.

In 2002, District Court judges in Arapahoe and Denver counties appointed Mr. Decker in the Capital Murder cases filed against Mr. Edward Brown. In these matters Mr. Decker’s client was considered for the death penalty in three Colorado jurisdictions, and in connection with four separate murders. Through extensive pre-trial investigation, litigation, negotiation, and other professional efforts, Mr. Decker and his co-counsel were able to secure coordinated plea agreements that ultimately saved the life of his client
Mr. Decker has tried to verdict over 175 cases in his career. In the past three years alone, he has tried sixteen cases alleging sexual assault or unlawful sexual conduct. Mr. Decker regularly provides consultation to other attorneys in the area of sexual assault defense and has been qualified in five different Colorado jurisdictions to give testimony as an “expert” in matters related to criminal law defense.
