Top best Appeals Lawyers Near me in ZIP 80202

The majority of my practice involves working for or in collaboration with several Colorado law firms that specialize in trial court work, and rely upon me to handle the appeals of their cases or the more complicated legal issues that arise in their trial work.. Although it varies to some extent from year to year, my practice is divided between civil (roughly 65%) and criminal matters, it encompasses a wide array of substantive law in both practice areas, and it is evenly divided between cases in state and federal court. For example, while I have defended personal injury verdicts for plaintiffs on appeal, I also have defended insurance companies against such claims. I have represented individual and corporate plaintiffs suing corporations for consumer fraud, security fraud and breach of contract, and I also have defended corporate defendants and individual officers and directors against claims of fraud, employment discrimination, and breach of contract. Similarly, the criminal cases I have handled range from the representation of indigent criminal defendants charged with the theft and simple assault, to the private representation of “white collar” defendants charged with complicated bank and securities fraud schemes involving tens of millions of dollars.
