Steve quickly realized that he was much more interested in becoming a trial attorney, and changed the focus of his legal education. Steve eventually returned to Colorado, and after passing the Colorado Bar Exam, accepted a position as a Deputy District Attorney in the Fourth Judicial District. As a DA, Steve initially prosecuted DUI cases, serious traffic offenses, domestic violence cases, and other misdemeanors.

Finally, Steve was assigned the coveted position as a member of the Vehicular Homicide/Vehicular Assault team, where he vertically prosecuted fatal traffic accidents, DUI and reckless driving charges resulting in death and serious bodily injury, and homicides.

After leaving the DA’s Office, Steve joined a large civil litigation firm, where his practice focused on personal injury litigation. Steve joined McDowell/Rodemer, LLC as a partner in an effort to broaden the practice in civil litigation and criminal defense. After leaving McDowell/Rodemer, LLC , Steve became a sole practitioner, in an effort to maintain a smaller caseload and provide more attention to each client.

Attorney Jake Kimball is a Colorado Springs personal injury lawyer and the founder of Kimball Injury Law, LLC. His path to personal injury law began long before he entered the courtroom. At age 19, Jake was struck by a drunk driver while walking along the side of the road. The crash caused serious injuries, including long-term spinal damage, and gave him firsthand insight into the pain, uncertainty, and frustration injury victims often experience. Jake earned his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in 2002 and his Juris Doctor from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law in 2005. During law school, he served as an associate editor for the Ohio State Law Journal. He began his legal career in insurance defense, where he spent nearly a decade learning how insurance companies investigate, evaluate, and defend personal injury claims. Jake later chose to apply that experience on behalf of injured people and their families. Since transitioning to plaintiff-side representation, he has recovered millions of dollars for clients. Jake is admitted to practice in the State of Colorado, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. He is also a member of the Colorado Bar Association, El Paso County Bar Association, Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, and National Traumatic Brain Injury Association.
