ATTORNEY PERSONAL INFORMATION
 

        I was raised in a rural Iowa small town, then attended high school in West Des Moines.  Upon completion of undergrad degree in 1973, I migrated to Colorado and then again upon completion of law school in December, 1980.  I flew back to take the Iowa bar exam in January, 1981 and took the Colorado bar exam in February, 1981.  Having passed each bar, I made my permanent home in Colorado.  I'm not a native, but have lived the majority of my life in this beautiful Rocky Mountain state, and raised my daughter alone here from infancy through emancipation.  My daughter has presented me with a grandson, and I have a son in the midwest who has two beautiful daughters.
 
        When opportunity occurs, I enjoy the mountains, skiing once in a while, tennis, swimming, riding horses and puttering around in the yard or tool man fix-it projects.

CASES OUTSIDE EL PASO COUNTY
GEOGRAPHIC DISTANCE
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

 
Colorado is a big state
ease of internet access, email & toll free phone doesn't change that fact
 

Attorney is very willing to travel outside the Colorado Springs area to present or defend a case, but please be aware travel time, mileage and expense would apply.  If you are out of state or unfamiliar with Colorado geography, refer to the map to determine where Colorado Springs is located in relation to the county of your court case or hearing.

If travel is necessary, a trust deposit would be required to cover anticipated travel time, mileage & expenses.  If it is not economically justifiable to retain my services with travel, please contact counsel in the locale of your case.
