Colorado Personal Injury Attorney

Any person who has ever made a claim upon an insurance company for compensation will likely attest to the intransigence, the denials, the delays and the various machinations to which the insurer will resort, in order to avoid. An individual who represents himself, under such circumstances, after sustaining serious personal injury--whether by accident, malpractice or other mishap--is fighting with one hand tied behind his back and proceeds on a perilous course, almost certain to result in disappointment and defeat. Such individual needs a trial attorney, who will wage a fearless battle to represent an injured client's best interest.

I am a trial attorney experienced in all types of injury cases, including brain injuries, spine injuries and so many others. My take-no-prisoners approach, where insurance companies are concerned is an attitudinal and tactical and strategic approach developed from more than 30 years in the private practice of law. The brutal truth is that insurance companies enjoy their riches at the expense of the citizenry, making its money by collecting the highest premiums possible, while paying compensation to victims of negligent and intentional acts by their insured, which has brought pain and suffering to innocent victims, who seek compensation. I represent clients throughout the State of Colorado and champion the cause of persons injured by others, through no fault of their own. I will make available to my client a range of zealous, comprehensive, legal services covering their needs, primarily, in serous or catastrophic personal injury, in addition to family law and criminal defense, and I look forward to serving.

Colorado Divorce Attorney

Divorces, like marriages, are similar in some regards and unique to themselves, at the same time. More often than not, legal issues are uncomplicated, save for those involving extensive and/or complex marital assets. However, even for partners who acknowledge the end of the emotional ties that bind, the demise of the marital relationship touches deeper, even, profoundly--particularly when children are involved. Some partners are able to effect a dissolution of their marriage amicably, while others are contentious throughout the proceedings and for years beyond. The challenge for any conscientious divorce lawyer is to define the rights and responsibilities, such that the client understands the laws which govern the proceedings and to achieve their objectives within the framework of the law, mindful of the best interests of their children, in the present circumstances and for the future. As when choosing a doctor, the client must be confident that his or her attorney understands needs and objectives that must be satisfied, even when the client has difficulty in the decision-making process, since such proceedings can be emotionally draining and physically exhausting and may cloud the judgment of the person facing this challenge. Serious issues regarding debts and assets to be divided may be effective under such stressful circumstances and a dedicated and compassionate attorney serves a very useful purpose, here, to assist in making such important decisions.

I encourage clients to seek marital counseling and to give the matter serious thought before commencing the dissolution of marriage process. A marriage is worth fighting for and should be saved, whenever possible. However, once a person realizes that the marriage is over and that there is no possible reconciliation, then he or she should be prepared to know their rights and their responsibilities. Colorado, for example, is a no fault divorce state. Blameworthiness for the failure of a marriage is not the criteria by which the Courts decide issues related to child custody or the division of marital property and debts. The objective of a dedicated divorce lawyer is to make the divorce process as simple and painless as possible. My office provides free consultation to assist in the decision-making process before, during and after divorce. The client will find aggressive, sensitive, compassionate representation at this law firm--beginning with free consultation.

Colorado Medical Marijuana Lawyer

The State of Colorado has decriminalized the cultivation, sales, possession and use of marijuana. If it were only that simple. Certainly, that was the intention of the people of the State of Colorado when they amended the Colorado Constitution to allow for the use of medical marijuana, recognizing such usage for the amelioration of a variety of symptoms associated with medical conditions and their side effects, including nausea, pain relief, glaucoma, Crohn's Disease, epilepsy and depression, just to name a few.

While dedicated to helping patients, doctors, care-givers and dispensaries, to insure compliance with the laws governing Colorado medical marijuana, my objective is to insure that anyone involved in the industry, at any level, is compliant with and mindful of the law and its regulations.

Over the years, I have defended persons charged with criminal offenses involving possession and distribution of marijuana, as well as other controlled substances and strive to insure that medical marijuana patients and their care-givers are protected from criminal prosecution. Further, I assist entrepreneurs, who intend to cultivate and/or dispense medical marijuana, in order to insure compliance with the multitude of regulations, limitations and exclusionary provisions of HB10-1284. Many prospective dispensary owners and growers are unaware of the plethora of restrictions, including but not limited to residency requirements, age requirements, criminal record exclusions and a host of items which such persons must be made aware of, as they tip-toe through this legislative and regulatory mine-field.

As one considers the search for a medical marijuana lawyer in Colorado, he would be wise to retain counsel who is versed in criminal defense and business law, forming corporations and potential tax issues. My more than 30 years experience in the private practice of law provides a full range of legal services, necessary to insure a successful result in the various facets of medical marijuana law, here, in the State of Colorado. I am an experience trial lawyer, having practiced in both State and Federal Courts and work together with a partnership of both attorneys and tax experts, to provide you with all the services you may require in this field.

Colorado Criminal Defense Lawyer

Recent DNA discoveries make painfully clear something Colorado criminal defense lawyers have known forever--that innocent persons can be convicted of criminal charges for crimes they did not commit. In recent years, reports of such miscarriages of justice have been forthcoming, which involve persons released from lengthy prison sentences--even death row--following convictions for crimes they did not commit. Such scenarios are the nightmares which make the Colorado criminal defense lawyer sit straight up in bed, in the middle of the night.

Upon my discharge from military service, where I served a tour of duty in Viet Nam, I enrolled in college and graduated from the University of Colorado. Thereafter, from the University of Colorado School of Law. I am a member of the National College of Criminal Defense Lawyers and have served as chairman of the Colorado Chapter of the National Layer's Guild. In my 30 years, plus, in the private practice of law, I have defended persons charged with offenses ranging from first Degree Murder to Sexual Assault Upon a Child; Bank Robbery to major drug cases--both in the State and Federal Courts. I don't have a magic wand and I don't make promises I can't keep. One promise I will make, however, is that I will devote my years of experience and training to any case I take on, to insure the best possible result--at a reasonable price. Know your rights and protect them!!! Thanks.
