Fort Collins Civil Litigation Attorney

Civil Litigation

• Advice to help avoid litigation
  
• Principled representation in money claims
  
• Practical advice and representation

I work with small business owners to advise them of steps to take to avoid litigation, or to make their position in litigation more secure. Too many small business owners, especially in the construction trades, fail to have clear contracts or payment deadlines with parties they do work for. In Colorado, a party bringing a business debt claim usually cannot recover attorney fees unless such a recovery is provided for in a written contract.

The firm handles selected civil claims for individuals, where I see a legitimate basis for the claim and sufficient money damages to warrant the expense of an attorney. I also handle defense of claims made against individuals, whether a claim for money or for other relief, such as a claim against a client for a statutory no-contact order which can have significant ramifications for the client. My firm has handled complex auto insurance claim issues, and simple disputes between neighbors. At times, the best advice is to show clients why they really do not want to pursue litigation.

Among the areas in which I represent individuals and businesses are:

• Breach of Contract or contract review
  
• Business Litigation
  
• Child Welfare, Dependency and Neglect
  
• Personal Injury (selected cases)
  
• Defense of claims against individuals

Types of cases not accepted:

Sorry, but I do not handle the following types of legal matters:

• divorce, dissolution of marriage
• filing of bankruptcies (I do represent some creditors in bankruptcy matters)
• immigration
• patents, trademarks, copyright
• preparation of wills or trusts
• taxes
• worker’s compensation
