Attorney Policies
Litigant Pro Se - Attempt to Prepare Defense of Own Traffic or Criminal Case

1.  Adequate Time.  If sufficient time exists to adequately prepare your case and if prospective client approves this attorney's fees and costs structure, attorney will likely accept defense representation.  This shall not constitute an offer of representation; attorney and prospective client retain discretion through first consultation.

2.  Insufficient Time.  If you've waited until the eleventh hour and there is not sufficient time to adequately prepare your case or defense before a contested court proceeding, please do not call.  I decline.

3.  Limited Assistance.  Please do not call requesting instruction, directions, legal theory, forms completion or limited document drafting, partial representation, or an explanation of applicable law to assist you in preparation or defense of your own case.  I decline.

Attorney Policies
Representation by Previous Attorney

1.  Current Attorney.  Until an order has entered withdrawing representation by an attorney, an ethical rule violation exists if counsel knowingly speaks to another attorney's client without current attorney's consent.  This ethical rule governs all attorneys.  Please do not call until after you have terminated representation by a former attorney.  After other counsel's withdrawal it may take significant effort for the the new attorney to "catch up."  Please be aware fees and costs will be associated with procuring the court file and coming up to speed in the case.

2.  Adequate Time.  If prospective client terminates employment of the former attorney, if sufficient time exists to adequately prepare your traffic or criminal case, and if prospective client approves this attorney's fees and costs structure, attorney will likely accept representation.  This shall not constitute an offer of representation; attorney and prospective client retain discretion through first consultation.

3.  Insufficient Time.  If you've waited until the eleventh hour and there is not sufficient time to adequately prepare your case or defense before a contested court proceeding, please do not call.  I decline.

4.  Second Opinion.  I will not arm chair quarterback another attorney's case preparation, trial tactics or theory of the case.  Please do not call for a second opinion or an opinion regarding the competence of preparation or defense in your current traffic or criminal case.  I decline.

 
 
POST SENTENCING MATTERS
PROBATION REVOCATION  *  PAROLE VIOLATION
DEFERRED SENTENCE REVOCATION  *  APPEALS

Post Sentencing.  I do not accept post sentencing matters in any criminal, DUI or traffic case unless I provided representation during the case in chief at the trial court level and am familiar with the facts, testimony and exhibits received into evidence, meritorious issues & rulings. That's been my policy for years.  Please do not call or inquire regarding post sentencing matters if you are not a former client. 

Alternatives
FIND A LAWYER

This includes plea to domestic violence or other criminal charge, DUI, DEAC or DWAI charge or other traffic charge and probation, deferred sentence, parole or incarceration or revocation proceedings based upon alleged failure to comply.

 

Exceptions.  If the underlying criminal case qualifies, refer to sealing criminal records.  I accept meritorious sealing cases regardless of whether or not you are a former client.  NOTICE: alcohol related traffic offenses, other traffic offenses or traffic infractions are a specifically excluded in the sealing statute and can not be sealed.  If relevant, I also accept meritorious collateral attack cases.

 
 
 

ATTORNEY TRADE AREA & TRAVEL
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.

        NOTICE: It is the policy of the presiding judge in Palmer Lake Municipal Court not to accept negotiated plea settlements.  If your ticket in in this court, counsel must prepare for trial; trial fees and costs would be quoted.

        Municipal courts do not have the availability of e-Filing as do state district courts, however some of the local area smaller municipal courts have now come into the 21st century by accepting pleadings and filings via email and payment of fines and costs via bank on-line bill pay regarding traffic infractions and minor traffic offenses.  Depending upon court policy regarding entry of plea via email and e-payment subsequent to negotiation without the necessity of physical appearance, travel time & mileage may possibly be avoided.  Not all courts permit this.
