Pete Thomas is a trial attorney specializing in civil and commercial litigation.  Pete has been selected as a Colorado Super Lawyer, a distinction extended to only the top 5 percent of all attorneys. Pete enjoys the highest AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale Hubbell, has attained the designation of Master Advocate with the National Institute of Trial Advocacy, and is listed as one of Colorado’s Top 100 Trial Lawyers with the National Trial Lawyer’s Association. In 2020, he was appointed to the Litigation Executive Council of the Colorado Bar Association.. Pete represents clients throughout Colorado and the United States, having litigated cases against some of the largest law firms and largest corporations in the country.  His most recent victory involved a nearly $10,000, jury verdict in a construction defect case against a large residential developer.. Pete is a former nationally ranked freestyle mogul skier and whitewater kayaker, two hobbies he still pursues in his spare time.  He also is an avid musician and plays guitar in a popular Colorado band.  He attributes much of his success as a trial lawyer to his experience on stage playing music in front of large crowds.  "Whether on stage with a guitar or on stage in the courtoom, the mindset and approach to making an audience scream with excitment or a jury cry for your client is very much the same" he explains.  "You have to engage your audience, capture their attention, and create tension and emotion."   Or in the words of one of his clients:. "Wow. The jury was mesmerized by you. The paralegal with the other firm was sobbing during your opening statement. I couldn't believe it. You were absolutely amazing."

Thanks for visiting me on this site.  I respectfully suggest that sites such as this are not the best way for potential clients to evaluate the effectiveness of any lawyer and "rankings" are extremely hard to evaluate.  Let me give you an example....you pick the highest ranked lawyer at the biggest top firm in the area for your small business counseling needs.  What do you get?  First, a bill that is so high you won't be able to continue operating your small business and second, a lawyer that despite is top ranking perhaps has little understanding of the small business environment you are operating in.  The result - killer bills and bad advice.. What people in need of legal services should do is contact several lawyers in the practice and geographical area in which they are seeking services and speak with several lawyers.  Even ask other lawyers about other lawyers or ask other clients of the lawyer how things went and if you would recommend the lawyer. I have been practicing for more than 15 years in the heart of Aspen, Colorado and have successfully represented clients world-wide in a variety of areas in both Colorado and also in New York where I am also a member of the bar.  I am very visible in Aspen and you should have good luck asking about my professionalism and character.  If you want to discuss your matter, that's simple, I will provide a free hour of consultation to see if I can help you and also for you to see if you would like to work with me.  No pressure and a perfect way for you to evaluate my services.. As far as the huge, bold red-letter disciplinary warnings, yes it is true. 10 years ago when I was pretty fresh into my practice I tried to help a client and went into business with him here in Aspen but I forgot to provide a letter to that client to seek independent advice.  I made the mistake, I admitted to it immediately and I took my punishment like a man.  Here is a link to the report from the Colorado Supreme Court.... Despite the mark on my record, I am all the better for it and much smarter about business matters and certainly much, much smarter about who I try to help in business.  The New York disciplinary matter is just reciprocal discipline for the same problem in 2003 since I maintain bar admissions in both states.  If you want to know more about it, call me anytime and I will happily explain it to you.. If you are in need of legal services by a Colorado or New York attorney who will fight tooth and nail on your behalf, who has a good background in business counseling, real estate, construction and other areas, who is approachable, friendly and does not overcharge, please give me a call; I would be happy to chat with you to see if I can help.  If I cannot, I will certainly tell you so and help you find a lawyer better suited for your needs.

Firm: The Law Office of Michele N Bass, PLLC

I have been a practicing lawyer for 31 years. My first bar admission was in 1989 in California, my second was in 1992 in Hawaii, and my third in Colorado in 1996.. I have had a very interesting litigation career spanning many subject matters, from intellectual property disputes to maritime/admiralty issues involved with defending recreational scuba diving cases. In two product liability cases involving scuba equipment, that sought ten million dollars in damages in California, complete defense verdicts were obtained in both following month-long jury trials.. I have been a passionate diver for 34 years and have been lucky enough dive all over the world. Favorites dive sites are: The Great Barrier Reef, Fiji, Galapagos Islands, Palau, Truk Lagoon, Hawaii and Indonesia. I have also been a life-long skier - and have lived in Aspen for the last 20 years.. In Colorado, I was on the legal team that unanimously won an important case in the Colorado Supreme Court. The case involved parental pre-injury liability releases for minors participating in skiing competitions. The decision knocked out the parents claims, but allowed the minors claims to go forward for negligence involved in setting a practice race course on Aspen Mountain.. Over the years I have litigated many diverse subject matters including: all aspects of   business; construction; real estate sales,development and boundary disputes; and architectural planning and execution.. I am a passionate and zealous advocate for my clients and enjoy the process of solving problems as quickly and efficiently as possible.

He has earned a strong reputation as one of the Roaring Fork Valley’s most highly regarded business and real-estate lawyers..

Because of those skills, he has also become a capable and sought-after mediator.. Regarding real estate, Lucas’ practice encompasses the full spectrum of issues clients encounter, both in Aspen and throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.
