I am a medical malpractice lawyer in Denver, Colorado who works exclusively with people who have been seriously injured as the result of a medical error. My unique and varied medical background gives my clients an important and uncommon advantage. Although my undergraduate degree is in Criminal Justice, I spent three years studying biology and chemistry, changing majors in my senior year. I also completed the rigorous didactic and clinical education program for New York State's highest level of prehospital care providers, becoming a paramedic in 1995. I worked as a Paramedic for six years in the City of Rochester, New York, where I diagnosed and treated thousands of patients in need of emergent medical and surgical intervention in the prehospital setting. This included everything from heart attacks, strokes, diabetic emergencies, delivering babies, pediatric emergencies, major trauma, electrocutions and critical care transports to routine non-emergency evaluations and care. I also spent two years as a Tissue Procurement Specialist and Procurement Team Leader for the Rochester Eye and Human Parts Bank, where I performed sterile, surgical tissue procurement procedures on tissue donors to recover transplantable joints and tissues for recipients across the country. During my undergraduate years, I worked in the operating room as an anesthesia technician and scrub-assist technician, and worked with Alzheimer's patients in a secured nursing facility. Finally, I also have experience in various areas of veterinary medicine and surgery with large and small animals. All of these experiences contribute to my understanding of broad medical and physiological concepts. My specialized medical training and experience positions my clients at a strategic advantage in medical negligence litigation, which is the only kind of work that I do. If you or someone you know has suffered an injury that you believe might be the result of a medical error, call me to discuss your situation.. The exclusive focus of my practice is complex medical malpractice claims for catastrophically injured plaintiffs. I am licensed to practice in Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, California, and the District of Columbia.

I am a Denver native with over 25 years of extensive legal experience in personal injruy, insurance defense, general civil litigation and administrative law. I've represented companies, boards and individuals in a wide variety of civil litigation matters regarding contract disputes, civil rights actions, premises liability, injury litigation, jury trials, construction defect, employment law issues, administrative hearings, licensing issues, professional discipline actions, malpractice law suits, tort actions and insurance claims. My past courtroom experience working for the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office, Denver City Attorney’s Office and Colorado Attorney General’s Office, provided me with the opportunity to engage in complex trial practice on a routine basis. My approach to the practice of law consists of treating each case with the time, effort and individuality it deserves and finding unique solutions to complex, multifaceted problems. In my recent past, I practiced as the general counsel for the Colorado State Board of Psychologist Examiners, Colorado State Board of Social Work Examiners, Colorado State Board of Veterinary Medicine and the Colorado Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement. I represented these boards in disciplinary proceedings, licensure issues, appeals and assisted in drafting proposed legislative modifications, board policies and fiscal impact opinions. I have successfully tried over 80 jury and court trials.

Hello, my name is Dr. Joseph Ramos. During my career as an ER physician providing expert medical testimony, I realized that I could help others even more with a career in law which led me to earn my degree from the University of Denver in 2008. I learned as a medical expert that injuries are much more about understanding the medicine than the law itself. When presenting injuries to a jury or an insurance company, it’s important to understand and then explain injuries and their complexities.  It’s a unique position to hold knowledge and experience in both law and medicine.  I am happy to share my knowledge and have done so as an invited speaker at the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association annual conference.  I was admitted to practice at the Colorado Supreme Court and was also appointed to the Colorado Medical Society’s Workers’ Compensation/Personal injury Committee and serves as the Vice Chair on that committee.  Additionally, I have provided testimony that set case precedent in Colorado on injury causation standards.. I love helping others. This care of others started at a young age when I would watch my parents assist stranded travelers in our rural central Nevada town.  I watched his dad fix tires for free at our family owned gas station, and even fill up someone’s gas tank when they didn’t have any money.  I met many people who would stay overnight in our home when the weather was too dangerous for travel.  It was commonplace to see a new face at the dinner table.. I may have grown up and left my small town, but the values my parents instilled in me have carried over to my firm at Ramos Law.  The Ramos Law philosophy is simple…to take good care of good people.  The other attorneys and I take our roles very seriously; we realize that getting clients on the road to recovery is of the utmost importance.   The team at Ramos Law works hard to achieve the very best outcome for each and every client we serve.

From mock trials and unique classes in high school to an Associate Justice in Gonzaga’s student government, Nikolas (Nik) knew he was going to be a trial attorney for as long as he can remember. He was trying to work in criminal law before the pandemic, but hiring freezes in local governments led him to a personal injury job. Nik was pleasantly surprised – "From my first client interaction, I knew this was what I was meant to do.". During law school, Nikolas worked for the Deputy Civil Chief at the US Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of New York, and worked on high-profile cases such as DACA and the Purdue Pharmaceutical MDL while there. That externship exposed and prepared him for high volumes of incredibly complex and important work. This is where he perfected the habit of paying very close attention to detail, working very efficiently, and being willing to take on things he had never done or heard of to make sure that the work assigned was completed. The externship was also highly sought–after-, which meant that you had to be willing to put in the hours and tackle assignments that you would otherwise not likely see until you were years into practice.. He second-chaired his first jury trial for the victim of a motor vehicle accident in 2021 that resulted in a plaintiff’s verdict in the 6 figures. Nik’s biggest takeaway from that trial was that being in the courtroom was where he belonged.

Chris is an experienced trial lawyer and one of the founding partners of Make Right Law. He focuses his practice on serious personal injury and wrongful death claims as well as fire damage resulting from negligently started wildfires. He is a second-generation trial lawyer who literally grew up living in his father’s law firm which was on the first floor of Make Right Law’s current Texas office.

He is passionate about music, playing guitar, attending live concerts whenever he gets the chance and spending time in front of his stereo listening to his collection of vinyl records. Chris’ motto as a trial lawyer is a rough paraphrase of a Maya Angelou poem: Rather than dwelling on accepting the things I cannot change; I prefer to change the things I cannot accept. He believes that while getting just compensation to his clients is tremendously important and sometimes life changing, the real aim of being a trial lawyer is to make things right for his clients by preventing what has happened to his clients from happening again, being a voice for his clients, helping his clients through some of the worst times of their lives, and holding those who are responsible for his clients’ injuries accountable. His desire to make it right for his clients, was the inspiration for the firm’s name, Make Right Law.
