Law Firm Overview

Our Commitment To You...

The cornerstone of our successful practice is our commitment to providing high quality legal services in a personalized, prompt, and professional manner.

Roger will personally work one-on-one with you and will take all the time necessary to: inform you about the important aspects of your case, explain how the law affects your case, and advise you about the potential outcomes of negotiation and litigation. Our goal is to make sure you have all the information and advice you need to make crucial decisions about the direction of your case. We will work closely with you to both inform and advise, but ultimately we always allow you to make the decision to settle or proceed to trial. We want to help you make the best choice for you .

In addition to providing you with Roger's personal attention, your case will get the benefit of our lengthy experience and our dedication to helping clients like you. We will thoroughly examine your case to identify the most important issues, and then carefully prepare and present those facts and arguments in support of your meritorious claims.

Our Clients.....

Our clients are those (almost exclusively individuals and families) who have been harmed by someone else's serious fault or negligence. While most of our clients are Colorado residents, we have had the privilege of representing clients from all around the country. We have also represented many international clients, from both Europe and South America, as well as a very large number of families and individuals who speak primarily Spanish. We have assistants and attorneys who help us in representing our many Spanish-speaking clients.

Where we practice....

Over the years, we have had the pleasure of traveling all around the State of Colorado, litigating cases on the West Slope in places like Grand Junction, Craig, Steamboat, Rifle, Glenwood, Gunnison, Montrose, Cortez, Durango and many others. We have handled cases on the Eastern Plains, in places like Fort Morgan, Sterling, Yuma, Wray, Burlington, Limon, and others.

Of course most of our cases are along the Front Range, from Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Greeley, and Boulder down to Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Canon City.

Additionally, we have been called upon to represent a number of seriously injured clients in cases in Wyoming and Western Nebraska, and Roger enjoys traveling and practicing in those neighboring states.
