Civil Litigation

Our experienced trial attorneys represent both businesses and individuals in a variety of civil litigation matters including insurance defense, business litigation, real estate litigation, and employment litigation. We represent insured individuals in cases involving auto insurance and homeowners' insurance disputes. We work with businesses involved in contract disputes and other general commercial litigation issues. We assist homeowners with litigation involving boundary disputes on their property.

Estate Planning and Administration

 We provide counseling for the preparation of estate plans and assistance in all aspects of trust and estate administration and litigation.  We draft simple and complex wills, and are adept and creating trusts aimed at asset protection, and preservation of wealth.  We will customize an estate plan that will help ensure that your long-term care needs are met, and that your assets go to your chosen beneficiaries.  Some of the matters we handle in our estate planning practice include:

Divorce and Family Law

Our divorce attorneys provide sensitive counsel in all matters related to divorce and family law.  Some of the family law services we offer include legal representation and advice in:

• Divorce
• Child Custody
• Visitation and Parental Rights
• Child Support
• Establishing Paternity
• Spousal Support or Alimony
• Maintenance Modifications
• Adoptions
• Legal Separations
• Prenuptial Agreements
• Orders of Protection
• Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs)

Our divorce attorneys strive for a peaceful resolution of matters related to the dissolution of a marriage, especially in matters related to the welfare of children.  Generally, it is preferred to have both parents involved in the lives of children through a joint child custody arrangement.

However, there are times when a peaceful resolution is not possible, such as in questions of property division, or when it is dangerous for one of the parents to be around the children.  When a matter needs to be litigated in the courtroom, our divorce attorneys are experienced, and have a record of achieving excellent results.

 We are experienced in representing clients charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI), and Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI), and other drunk-driving related offences.  We also represent clients in traffic violations matters, such as speeding tickets, reckless driving, or driving without a license.  We will fight to protect your rights.

We often represent college students in a variety of matters, including minor in possession (of alcohol), or disorderly conduct at the University of Northern Colorado.

Our DUI lawyers are adept at analyzing police reports to determine if police followed the proper procedure in administering roadside sobriety tests.  We can advise you on whether you have a winnable case at trial, or whether it is better to seek a plea agreement.  If you decide to go to trial, we have the experience in the courtroom to properly defend you.

Real Estate Law

We represent clients in proceedings and transactions that deal with real property, including purchase and sale of property, boundary and easement disputes, and adverse possession.
