introduction
Scott Sullan has handled many of the largest and most important construction defect cases for Colorado homeowners since 1994. In 2006 and 2007 he was selected a "Colorado Super Lawyer." This selection is based on a survey conducted by Law & Politics, and is published annually in April in a special advertising section in 5280 Magazine. The purpose of the Super Lawyers selection process is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource to assist attorneys and interested consumers in search of legal counsel. In 2007, Mr. Sullan was the only Colorado lawyer who primarily represents homeowners and homeowner associations given Chambers & Partners' highest rating, which legal publisher described him as "the absolute best on residential construction defects." In 2009 alone, Mr. Sullan was instrumental in securing over $75 million in construction defect settlements for homeowner associations.
Leading Colorado newspapers have described Mr. Sullan as "one of those truly ethical and fair-minded attorneys who bring honor to an often maligned profession" and a "nationally-prominent litigator who is the scourge of the homebuilding industry". Another newspaper headlined Mr. Sullan as: "The Legal Bane of Homebuilders."
One Denver paper observed that: "Some builders settled quickly after watching Sullan at work in 1996. During the trial, officials with Richmond Homes told Sullan they wanted to settle a separate class-action case he had filed on behalf of 12,300 Richmond homeowners. He tried Mission Viejo by day and negotiated with Richmond by night. In June 1996, Richmond agreed to pay Sullan's firm $1.9 million and to spend tens of millions more to remedy problems."
Mr. Sullan's work led to the following news headlines in 2005:
Scott Sullan was born in Evanston, Illinois 1953. He attended the University of Colorado where he graduated cum laude in 1975. He then attended law school at the University of Southern Illinois , obtaining his degree and graduating cum laude in 1979. While in law school he was a member of the Board of Editors of the Southern Illinois University Law Journal and was President of the Moot Court board. He was also a member of the National Order of Barristers and National Client Counseling Team.
After graduating from law school, Mr. Sullan clerked for the Honorable Ralph H. Coyte of the Colorado Court of Appeals. He has practiced civil litigation law in Colorado since 1979.
Mr. Sullan focuses construction and materials defect (and related insurance coverage) litigation. He has been lead counsel in eleven different class action suits against some of Colorado's major home builders and product suppliers. He was lead counsel for a 1,600-person class of homeowners in a successful class action tried in Douglas County, Colorado in 1996. He also has handled hundreds of construction defect cases involving a variety of subjects including expansive and settling soils, landslides, faulty construction materials and products, architectural and engineering design defects and improper construction. Mr. Sullan is one of Colorado's best-known lecturers regarding construction litigation, and he has co-authored with Ron Sandgrund the only books dealing exclusively with Colorado construction defect litigation, the most recent editions of which books were published in 2007. In 2009, he also co-authored with Mr. Sandgrund a chapter on a legal ethics and professional responsibility.
Mr. Sullan frequently presents continuing legal education courses to other lawyers. Mr. Sullan testifies often on behalf of homeowners before Colorado's legislature, and he has helped draft laws affecting homeowner interests. Mr. Sullan was one of the driving forces behind the Homeowners Protection Act of 2007, House Bill 1338. He met with legislators, citizens and newspaper editors to answer their questions regarding the blanket waiver of legal rights that much of the residential building industry has been putting in home purchase contracts. House Bill 1338 limits such waivers and preserves for homeowners the basic, legal rights the building industry agreed to when it lobbied for passage of the Construction Defect Action Reform Act in 2003. H.B.1338 became Colorado law on April 20, 2007..
Mr. Sullan is married with three children. All five are avid skiers.
