MID-LITIGATION REPRESENTATION alternatives and find a lawyer links provided as a courtesy Attorney Policies Litigant Pro Se - Driver's Attempt to Prepare Own Defense at License Hearing 1.  Adequate Time.  If sufficient time exists to adequately prepare your driver's license defense and if prospective client approves this attorney's fees and costs structure, attorney will likely accept license 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 defense before a DOR license suspension or revocation hearing, please do not call.  I decline.

Alternatives FIND A LAWYER 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.  DOR hearings are set quickly - continuance requests on the basis of driver delay in retaining counsel are routinely denied.  Please be aware that after other counsel's withdrawal it may be difficult for a new attorney to prepare your defense in time for hearing.  Please also be aware fees and costs will be associated with procuring DMV files or court files 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 license defense, 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 defense before a driver's license hearing, please do not call.  I decline. Alternatives FIND A LAWYER 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 driver's license adverse action proceedings.  I decline.

APPEAL TO DISTRICT COURT Attorney Policy former clients are naturally welcome to call anytime regarding any legal matter Appeal.  I do not accept DOR license suspension or revocation appeals to the district court unless I provided representation at the DOR hearing and am familiar with the facts, testimony and exhibits received into evidence at hearing and meritorious issues for appeal.  That's been my policy for years.  Please do not call or inquire regarding DOR appellate matters if you are not a former client.

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 license 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.
