Legal Services & Lawyers

Fighter for the underdog in wide variety of cases.

Commencing with my August 1973 employment with the District Attorney’s Office, I have since been continuously involved with the criminal judicial system. My first job was in a clerical role, and over time, my responsibilities expanded to criminal case investigation, and after matriculation to law school, assignment as a law clerk, preparing legal memoranda and briefs in criminal cases. After graduation from law school, I regularly appeared in the all levels of the judicial system, from municipal courts, county, state and federal district courts, and the Colorado Supreme Court, first as an associate of a local law firm, and continuing when I established an independent law practice in 1984. The regularity of my appearance in the court system has been appreciably enhanced with my role as an Alternate Defense Counsel contractor, representing indigent defendants since the inception of that system in 1997. Therefore I have been continuously and intensively involved with the judicial system since 1973.

Following three years practicing civil litigation in Dallas, Texas, I served as a Judge Advocate General (JAG) in the United States Air Force, with a heavy focus on criminal law. I defended numerous clients facing courts martial, including felony level charges. In recognition for my achievements as an attorney and advocate, I was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal for each of my years in the Air Force.

After my service in the Air Force, I moved to Colorado with my family to enjoy outdoor activities. I take great pride in providing effective, yet affordable representation to clients in the areas of criminal law, family law and general civil litigation.
