My practice is limited to business and commercial litigation and trial. I do not draft contracts, offer advice on company formation or otherwise have a transactional practice. It's just litigation and trial.. Most of my cases are focused on business and commercial litigation and trial on behalf of small businesses where the damages at issue are more than $100,000. My strategy is to push the case to a resolution through settlement or trial efficiently, effectively, and ethically. Most cases that resolve favorably are the ones where the party is prepared to go to trial so my focus is on litigating the case with that end in mind. I usually represent clients for an agreed hourly or flat fee rate. While I accept some business and commercial cases on a hybrid and contingency basis, the damages must be significant and the defendant has to have assets to satisfy a settlement or judgment.. I do offer some litigation representation on a flat fixed fee including drafting demand letters and resolution of disputes without a lawsuit. I will also pursue lawsuits with damages of less than $100,000 for an agreed flat fee (although it usually needs to be at least $30,000 in damages to make economic sense).. I genuinely enjoy practicing law and the more complicated and convoluted the legal problem or the case, the more I really enjoy figuring out a strategy and a solution. However, I understand that clients aren’t quite as enamored about the legal challenges they may be facing. My goal when I work with clients is to clarify and simplify the legal issues, offer the best ways to achieve a favorable result and actually make a recommendation on how I think we should proceed. I think it’s also important to understand the limitations of litigation and when a lawsuit might not be the best option. However, if we do need to file a lawsuit, I’ve handled hundreds of litigation cases over the years including complex business disputes, multi-million dollar shareholder and breach of contract litigation and other business and commercial litigation. I have the experience to navigate a case through discovery, settlement, trial and an appeal if necessary.. If you want to learn more about me and my firm (and see a picture of my dog), my website includes information on my minimum retainer, hourly rate, experience and an online scheduling calendar to book a time to talk about your case.
I have a business background which helps me aid businesses from formation through expansion and even franchising. Most lawyers do not have the practical business experience that I have accumulated over my career. I do not just place agreements and restructure your business based off of the law, I incorporate your operating procedures and work around the hurdles you face on a daily basis so your business will run more efficiently.. I also enjoy handling personal injury cases. I have had some family members go through tragic events prior to me becoming an attorney and I could not stand the treatment they recieved from the insurance companies. I was also not pleased with the communication with our attorney! That was part of the reason I became an attorney; I feel like communicaiton is my biggest strength, you will always get an immediate response from me.. Litigation is a long and painful process. No one wants to be involved in a lawsuit, but a lot of times it is necessary to use the justice system to correct a wrong. I love being in the Courtroom and I am always willing to take your case the distance.

Born in Longmont, I grew up in Grand Junction and I think my heart still resides in Western Colorado. However, I did enjoy my college years down in Colorado Springs. My wife and I also spent three wonderful years in Washington, DC and five years in Germany, back when I was a tax accountant.. We've been living in a new development out near Buckley AFB. We've enjoyed the prairie and the incredible views of the Front Range from out there. My kids attend an APS school called Quest Academy, which I would recommend to just about anybody.. Like a lot of Dads, I spend the majority of my free time coaching kids soccer, keeping up with Cub Scouts and Robotics Club.. I enjoy working with small and medium-sized business owners. However, I have also enjoyed serving the legal needs (typically business related) of Germans, Swiss and Mexican nationals.. I try to make myself available to clients at all times while I'm awake, except Sundays. Feel free to call me on my cell:..
