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. |
