26+ years Criminal Defense - Never a prosecutor. I have no experience putting people in cages, only keeping them out. Criminal Defense SuperLawyer - Faculty at Trial Lawyers' College for 7+ years - Title IX University Sexual Misconduct Defense Lawyer. Discovering the true story of your starts on day 1.  It starts with you and your experience. It continues as we learn about the witnesses, police response, prosecutors and society. Motives, pressures and other blinders lead to false beliefs or false accusations.  As we learn the true story, we investigate to support it, and to disprove the prosecution story.  Its basis is found in science and psychology.  The true story of your case provides the best way to win at trial.  It also allows gets to the best plea bargain, if that is your desire.  This process works.  It works to give you #honestresults.. My job is learn the facts, know the law and present it all to you so you can make good decisions.  If your decision is trial, my job is to win (attorney regulation says I cannot promise more than my sincerest effort towards that goal, so that is my promise).  This is best done by telling the true story of the case.  The Trial Lawyers College taught me how to do that. Now, I teach it to others as part of the Trial Lawyers College Faculty.  Second to winning a trial is helping a lawyer to learn how to win.. We handle many University Sexual Misconduct claims, also known as Title IX or Institutional Equity. The standard criminal defense rules are not followed and the burden of proof is 50.1%. It is highly unfair and the schools rarely follow their own rules. Despite these facts, we win at each level. While most of the case is handled at the University level, we also fight these cases in State and Federal Court. The Federal Courts very clearly see the lack of Due Process.. Plaintiff Injury work is quite enjoyable. My goals are for 1) the client to regain health, 2) someone else pays for it, 3) the client gets money to become whole. The work is challenging, and I love getting to know my clients and their friends/family.. The law is important.  After more than 26 years practicing, I know law.  I always find new bits.  Every year, the legislature changes the law and appellate courts interpret it with greater nuance.  Sometimes it helps, more often the District Attorney council lobbies to make convictions easier.  What never changes is the power of story.  A well told true story of a case will win where reliance on law will not.  As powerful as "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" sounds, jurors focused on harm and emotion will convict.  The true story solves that.  The true story challenges the prosecutor to disprove this story of innocence beyond a reasonable doubt.  The true story is one the jury sees and feels.  It does not rely upon the cold reason of logic, of law.. I love the spirit of the west and Colorado in particular, standing for what you believe in, courage, self determination. The mountains call me, and I ski, mountain bike, dirt bike, hike etc. More recently, I started surfing. Now the ocean waves call every few months.. As a youth, I learned how to eat, dance and speak with neighbors in Louisiana. I will always love my LSU Tigers football team. If you can understand Coach Orgeron, good on you. Geaux Tigahs. For law school, I traveled to Washington DC, attending Georgetown. The East Coast was a different experience, and not much like here. No matter where I go, there is nothing more beautiful than our mountains. Colorado is home. After school, I became a Colorado Public Defender and tried every type of case you can imagine. I won more than I lost. Despite my success, I felt there was more I could do in my cases. In 2010, I attended the 3 week Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. The work we did there changed my life. I remain passionate, but now I am happy as well. It changed my practice too. I am a better lawyer, and a better human.. I have believe in the individual, not corporations nor govenments.  In my time, I have seen too many injustices committed by corporations or govenments to work for them or help them.  I hope they will act for the benefit of all, but that is not their motive.  Money and power are their motives.
