Litigation

BATTLES IN
COURT OR ARBITRATION

Whether you are dragged into Court by someone else or you have no option but to start a lawsuit or arbitration to enforce your rights, we have the track record and experience to help maximize your chance of success.

EXPERIENCED. RELENTLESS. CREATIVE.

The Firm does not seek to be a bully or attack dog. We take a more surgical, methodical approach to litigation. Our experience informs which tactics and strategies have the best chance of being fruitful. We will give our opponents every opportunity to behave honorably and cooperate, but we stand ready to methodically expose and overcome improper behavior if they are not. We enjoy carefully scrutinizing the facts and law surrounding our cases and finding creative or unexpected solutions for our clients.

ATTENTIVE TO THE CLIENT’S BUDGET AND EXPECTED VALUE

Most of the time, the only relief a Court can give litigants is a money judgment. This means that, at each step of your dispute, it is critical to understand the relationship between the costs and attorney fees you are expending and the potential value of a successful case. Large lawsuits in Colorado are expensive. Around 2022, a litigant might expect to pay $50,000.00 or more for even a simple lawsuit all the way to trial, and more complicated cases might cost two or three times that much or more. Those attorney fees might not be recoverable, and if they are, Courts have great discretion to limit the fees awarded after a successful lawsuit. The firm strives to be mindful of these costs and make sure the client is able to make informed decisions about where to spend their money to get the best chance of a good result.

EFFECTIVE TRIAL ADVOCATES

If a trial or arbitration hearing is necessary, the Firm has the experience and tenacity needed to present your case effectively. The firm’s litigators seek to connect with the jury or judge and present a simple but clear understanding of your case, going beyond the tropes or of rules of thumb used by less thoughtful trial counsel.

DETAILED APPELLATE COUNSEL

The Firm is not simply a courtroom brawler. It distinguishes itself with powerful and effective legal briefing. As such, it is fully capable of helping with complicated appellate issues that may arise after trial, and to defend your judgment afterwards.

TENACIOUS COLLECTION WORK

The case is not over when a judgment enters. In many cases, it has only just begun. After receiving a judgment, the winning party now must seek to collect the debt. If the debtor still is not willing to cooperate reasonably, then the Firm can bring to bear its great experience in the collections process through garnishments, writs of attachment, domesticating the judgment in other states, and other court processes. The firm also has experience and knowledge in bankruptcy, for both creditors and debtors, so you will understand your options even when a bankruptcy looms.
