introduction
Lawyer.com Member Questionnaire
Please describe a case(s) in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I represented a family who had an eleven year old child die following medical treatment in a local hospital. I reviewed thousands of pages of medical records, consulted with several surgical experts and resolved this case favorably for the family.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should be comfortable with their attorney. Clients should have an attorney who takes an interest in their case, returns phone calls promptly and keeps the client advised of all pertinent developments, favorable or unfavorable.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I will talk with the potential client to get an outline of their claim. I'll give them good advice concerning the law and the prospects of prevailing in the case. I'll determine what documents need to be reviewed and assist the client in obtaining and evaluating the claim.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
I need the date of the event, the identity of the other person or entity, a brief description of the potential case and a description of the documents that support the case.
Are you involved in your community?
I coach an adult Special Olympic basketball team. I have volunteered as a judge for the Douglas County high schools mock trial competition. I have volunteered as a judge for University of Denver law student trial competition. I have been on panels at the University of Colorado law school competition and have spoken at continuing legal education seminars through the Colorado Bar Association. I have been a member of the Board of Directors of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association.
