Firm Policies

Fourteen years in the military taught me to be on time, be thorough, pay attention to detail, and to know my stuff because others are relying on me. You can count on me to exercise these same qualities as I work on your legal matter.

Consultations: 1 hour consultations available for a reasonable fee

Why do I charge a fee for a consultation? There are a couple reasons. When I conduct an initial consultation you will be receiving legal advice. I believe my legal knowledge and advice are worth charging for. And, once we have had an initial consultation, even if you do not hire me, I am precluded from representing someone with interests adverse to yours. I believe that loss of potential business is worth charging for.

Serving Most of Colorado: I understand that many communities outside the Front Range are underserved by the legal community and that residents in rural areas frequently have difficulty finding an attorney. That’s why I make my services available to most of rural Colorado. I will come to you – the lawyer that makes house calls! I offer family law and estate planning services in the following towns and their surrounding areas: Front Range from Ft. Collins to Castle Rock, Akron, Alamosa, Aspen, Blackhawk, Burlington, Canon City, Central City, Cheyenne Wells, Cripple Creek, Delta, Eads, Eagle, Fairplay, Ft. Morgan, Georgetown, Glenwood Springs, Grand, Grand Junction, Greeley, Gunnison, Hot Sulphur Springs, Holyoke, Hugo, Julesburg, Kiowa, La Junta, Lamar, Leadville, Limon, Monte Vista, Montrose, Ordway, Parachute, Pueblo, Rifle, Salida, Springfield, Sterling, Trinidad, Vail, Walden, Walsenburg, Westcliffe, Wray, Yuma.

Fees: Legal services are charged on an hourly basis or for a fixed fee, depending on the nature of the legal matter with which I'll be assisting. I require a retainer fee for all hourly work. My hourly rate is quite competitive and reasonable. Fixed fee work is generally due ½ up front before I begin work on your matter and ½ upon completion.

Credit Cards: I accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover cards for payments.

Office Hours: Monday — Thursday 8:00 to 5:00.

Keeping You Informed: I have committed myself to keeping my clients informed of the status of their case. You can count on me to relay all relevant information to you in a very timely manner.

Limited Representation or Unbundled Legal Services: I offer a variety of unbundled legal services. Unbundled legal services means the client hires an attorney in a limited fashion as a consultant or to assist in preparing court documents and pleadings. The attorney does not enter an appearance with the court on the client's behalf and does not communicate with the opposing party's attorney. The client retains responsibility for meeting all court deadlines and requirements. This limited representation is quite frequently a low cost alternative to full legal representation. Please note, however, that unbundled legal services are not always appropriate and I may refuse to provide unbundled legal services in certain circumstances (for instance, if the case is particularly complex).
