Michael Larranaga graduated from the Sturm College of Law in 2020 and is licensed to practice law in Colorado. I obtained my law license at the peak of COVID. When I looked around, you could clearly see the world had changed including the legal landscape. Documents can be e-filed and cases may someday be permanently litigated online. We are moving into an era dominated by technology. Applications such as Zoom and Whatsapp allow us to interact with people across the globe with just the few clicks of a button. I opened Larranaga Law as a virtual practice with the hope that it could help to fill this growing need. I offer free 30-minute online consultations using zoom meaning you can have the best of both worlds. You can see and talk to an attorney all from the comfort of your home.. Prior to becoming a attorney, I worked in the Oil and Gas Industry for the majority of my professional career working with publicly traded companies and state agencies to ensure accurate and fair reporting. I love the industry and can’t wait to see where it goes in the future.
