Top best R Lawyers in Boulder | 551 available

I became an attorney in order to protect the rights of ordinary citizens accused of crimes.  My practice has always been limited to criminal defense because I believe that a criminal accusation is a life-changing event, and that unwavering defense against criminal charges is best accomplished by an attorney whose legal career has been dedicated to criminal defense.  I know that criminal charges can affect everything from your family life, to your permanent record, to your professional security.  I believe that good legal representation includes more than just knowledge of the law.  A good lawyer must be a good listener, willing to work cooperatively with clients to help define their goals and create a roadmap to reach them.

I am passionnate about fighting for the rights of my clients. I deeply care about each client I represent and work tirelessly for justice. I represent people who have been seriously injured by the negligence of others. I fight insurance companies who refuse to take responsibility and own up the their promises to take care of our clients. I have three other law partners who are all dedicated to the profession of law. Together, we are a force to be reckoned! Yet, we are still a small boutique lawfirm who give each client hands on representation.

I am a personal injury attorney practicing in Boulder, Colorado. I handle all aspects of cases from intake through appeal and concentrate in auto accidents, bicycling accidents, premise liability, and trucking accidents.My clients are important to me. Once I meet them, I want them to feel as though their burden is now my burden. I take care of their legal case so that they can focus on themselves and their health.

I am a non-traditional attorney and mediator. I have worked inside the types of entities I support best: arts, nonprofit, educational, governmental and entrepreneurial organizations.My practice focuses on commercial and civil litigation, contract formation and negotiation, employment law and appeals. I represent visual artists, filmmakers, musicians, social impact businesses and entrepreneurs. I approach conflict negotiation with the needs of the client and context in mind, while maintaining an overall view of the situation. In litigation, I succeed because I truly enjoy puzzling through the logic and structure of the jurisprudence to develop fresh arguments that attain winning outcomes for my clients. I am equally adept at developing creative negotiated solutions for a client, diligently obtaining discovery to support summary judgment, and aggressively seeking judgment at trial. I excel at evaluating and negotiating contracts that protect my clients and assuring that they understand the documents they sign.In every organization I lead--firms or volunteer groups--I guide strategic vision and build systems to support that vision. I help the leadership teams I join build strong collaborative relationships, surface members’ top strengths, and grow individually and together to propel our organizations forward.Independently, I devote my time to developing local and regional arts communities. I served as a Director and President of Apogaea, Inc., a local 501(c)(3) arts organization associated with Burning Man. I was a founding member of The Phoenix Asylum, a Boulder arts collective. I currently serve as Burning Man’s Boulder Regional Contact and as a Board Member of the Boulder Fringe Festival.

I am a lawyer and mediator committed to helping socially-conscious businesses, entrepreneurs, non-profits, and neighbors resolve legal issues and demystify the law, so they can make a positive difference in their communities and the world. I am admitted to practice in Colorado and New York.. In addition to providing legal support and counsel to small businesses and startups, I provide  alternative dispute resolution, mediation, and facilitation for entrepreneurs, businesses and community organizations, as well as individuals.

I am a general practice attorney, which is a little bit like a family doctor that you go to for a variety of needs.  I  find that because I practice in several areas, there is cross-over that allows me to know when one legal issue I am handling affects other areas of my client's life and adjust my advice and work accordingly.  One unusual thing about my practice is that  I offer legal consulting.  Most attorneys require you to retain them to handle your case from start to finish.  In addition to doing that, i also consult with people who can't afford to retain an attorney.  This means clients pay according to their budget and according to their priority questions and concerns.   My commitment to my clients is a realistic appraisal of their legal problem, practical solutions, compassion and honesty in all aspects of my service.  I offer free consults to allow prospective clients to get some information at no cost while determing for themselves if my law office is the best fit for their needs.  Call us to arrange a free consult and we'd be glad to talk with you.   I am currently working virtually which means that I can talk to you by phone or video meeting and email.  I can do wills and related documents virtually so that you do not need to come to my office unless you choose to use notary services there.  I'm also doing other work like bankruptcies in a similar cases that require hearings are being done by phone or other virtual means.

I am a criminal defense attorney in Boulder, Colorado. My law firm, Rosmarin Law, handles traffic (including alcohol and drug-related charges), misdemeanor, and felony matters in the municipal, state, and federal court systems.. I decided to become a criminal defense lawyer when I was eight years old, when the State of California strapped my cousin Foster to a chair and made him breathe poison gas. Foster was insane when he shot his wife, and had no champion to defend him. I saw then that the world could use more champions.. It’s been a long strange trip to the courthouse. Before becoming a criminal defense lawyer, I was a journalist, working for Scripps-Howard, Times-Mirror, and the Associated Press. I also took a master’s degree in psychology, and for several years worked as an emergency psychiatric service therapist.. I am a member of the Colorado, Boulder, and Denver bar associations.. You can find anything else you could ever possibly want to know about me by searching the Web for my blog, Drunk & Disorderly. You'd best sit down with a good stiff drink first.

I am a Colorado-licensed family law attorney employing my many years of mediation experience to help parties without lawyers divorce mindfully. While many people have expressed surprise that I can do this work every day, I am honored to serve people going through one of the most difficult transitions in life.. As a father, I’m driven to help parents create a stable home life for children, under any circumstance. Although I don’t come from a family of divorce, I am myself in a second marriage after an amicable separation, and I have witnessed in those close to me how wounds can last a lifetime when a child experiences traumatizing divorce.. I began my career as a documentary film editor, where I learned the power of persuasive storytelling and honed my skills at transforming life’s raw material into meaningful narrative. When later called to put my analytical strengths to use as a legal practitioner, I found it natural to use life’s raw material to persuade a different audience (judges) with clear and compelling arguments.. My role as a Conscious Family mediator finally brought together for me a thrilling mix of challenges: the intellectual contest of law practice, the creative puzzle of developing workable family arrangements, and the intuitive work of facilitating dialogue and healing rifts.. I am trained in the the Collaborative Law model, and have practiced exclusively in the area of family law in Colorado since joining the bar: first as a judicial clerk for several judges at the Boulder District Court, then as an associate for an attorney-mediator and former judge. I am an alumnus of the University of Colorado Law School (Law Review); the National Institute of Trial Advocacy; the Colorado Bar Association 40-hour mediation training and Advanced Mediation Training; and the Colorado Collaborative Divorce Professionals Level I Collaborative Law training. I volunteer regularly for the Boulder County "Ask-an-Attorney" program, and the Boulder County Legal Services pro se divorce clinic.I pursue a personal practice of Vedic meditation and Bikram style yoga, and perform professionally as a musician. I have been interviewed and speak regularly about issues related to both men and relationships.

I aim to a be a new generation of attorney with a diverse skill set and focusing on cost efficiency. The vast majority of cases are settled and all the time and money that is spent on litigation is usually wasted. At the request of clients and as a cost containment measure, my practice is mostly virtual eliminating travel fees when possible. I try to resolve issues in the most practical way and focus on what is the best possible outcome for my client.
