introduction
Tom's practice concentrates on the areas of commercial litigation, transportation, employment and civil rights litigation, and litigation-related real estate work. Tom has long appeared before the various local and regional trial and appellate courts including: the Eighth and Tenth Circuit Courts of Appeal, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, the Colorado Supreme Court, and the Colorado Court of Appeals, and nearly all state and federal agencies.
Tom also serves regularly on the National Panel of Neutrals of the American Arbitration Association, Inc. and International Centre for Dispute Resolution, Inc, where he has acted as sole arbitrator, panel arbitrator and chairperson in numerous domestic and international commercial arbitration proceedings in the areas of transportation, employment and real estate law in Colorado, New York and Texas, involving claims in excess of $15 million.
Experience
Tom has extensive experience before the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, the Interstate Commerce Commission, the United States Surface Transportation Board, the United States Board of Contract Appeals, the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Colorado Division of Civil Rights of the Department of Regulatory Agencies, the National Association of Securities Dealers and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Tom has acted as sole arbitrator, panel arbitrator and chairperson in numerous domestic and international arbitration proceedings in the areas of transportation, employment and real estate Saw in Colorado, New York and Texas, involving claims in excess of $15 million.
Significant Representations
- Representing two Texas-based dealers for a Fortune 500 satellite telecommunications provider, Tom recovered unpaid commissions and attorneys fees of approximately $1,000,000 as the result of a two week arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association in Denver.
- Tom successfully obtained a permanent injunction in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado preventing a state regulatory agency's attempt to close down a client's business model conducted under preemptive provisions of federal law. Tom also obtained a declaratory judgment holding the state agency's related enforcement proceeding to be beyond its jurisdiction. In addition to injunctive and declaratory relief directed to the state agency, Tom also secured an award of state-paid attorneys' fees and costs of over $175,000.
- Tom and one of his partners successfully challenged a will under which a mother had mistakenly provided only a life estate in valuable real estate when she had clearly indicated to third persons that she intended to leave the property to her son outright. After a thirteen-month legal challenge, Tom was able to settle the son's dispute with the personal representatives by achieving ownership of real property valued at over $2,000,000.
