I grew up in a middle class, hard-working family in Anchorage, Alaska, where I learned to camp, fish, ski, and enjoy the outdoors. I was raised to tell the truth, work hard and do your best - always. These character traits guide me to this day. I graduated in the top 10% of my class at East Anchorage High School in 1983, was a member of the National Honor Society, and was a multi year letterman in baseball, track, football, and speech and debate.. Seeking a warmer climate and a top notch education, I traveled south to Southern California to attend the Univerity of California, San Diego. In 1988, I graduated from UCSD with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a minor in Economics. I earned Departmental Honors in Political Science. I was a member and officer of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, played intercollegiate baseball and track, and participated in a variety of intramural sports. As a debate team champion in high school, I was disappointed when I learned there was no speech and debate club at UCSD. So, along with others, I started one. I was the sole student representative for the design and buildout of the UCSD Student Center, which remains a central building and student gathering place on the campus today.. After undergraduate, I attended the University of San Diego Law School and graduated in 1991 with a Juris Doctorate. I earned an American Jurisprudence Award in Trial Advocacy.

My clients come from all walks of life and backgrounds, and I pride myself on helping each and everyone of them successfully navigate the legal system.

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.
