About Barre
Dedicated Criminal Defense Attorney
Barre was born and raised in Morton Grove, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. After graduating from Maine East High School, he attended the University of Illinois, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting with highest honors, followed by certification as a Certified Public Accountant (Barre is not presently licensed as a CPA.).
After receiving his undergraduate's degree, Barre attended the University of Illinois, College of Law, and was awarded the Order of the Coif, an honor given only to the top 10% of the class. While attending law school, he taught undergraduate accounting classes at the university. He graduated in 1975.
In 1976, Barre was hired by the reputable firm of Dawson, Nagel, Sherman & Howard, and was transferred to Denver. During this time, Barre was admitted to the Colorado Bar. He then moved to Boulder and clerked for the Honorable William Neighbors.
His invaluable experience with Judge Neighbors led to an associate position in the Law Office of E. Gregory Martin, P.C. After a couple of years as an associate in the firm, Barre went into private practice. Shortly thereafter, he formed the firm Thorburn & Sakol, which later became Thorburn, Sakol & Throne. When that firm disbanded, he started Barre M. Sakol, P.C.
Barre is committed to protecting the rights and futures of the criminally accused. He dedicates himself to providing the highest quality legal representation to each client, both in and out of the courtroom. He understands that the people who come to him seeking help are going through highly stressful times, and he ensures every client receives the hard-hitting, customized defense he or she deserves.
