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 have been a single parent since 1992 and
continue raising
my teenage child alone. I understand divorce and single parenting issues
first hand.
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
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Geographic Distance - Travel
Time, Mileage and Expense
Colorado is a big
state. Ease of internet access, email and 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. |
