We can help.

Everyone should have a basic estate plan to deal with their property, decisions concerning their health care, and their minor children.

We also handle probate cases, whether the deceased individual left a Will or not.
Colorado children have to attend school, by law. They can attend a public school, a private school, or a home school. Homeschooling is a good way for you to spend time with your children and insure they are taught the content and values you want them taught. You have a right to teach your child at home, but you must obey the state laws on homeschooling. We can help you comply with the various means of setting up a home school. Unfortunately, sometimes school district authorities or Social Services attempt to interfere with your right to teach your child at home. We are experienced in defending your right to home school your child. We act as local counsel for the Home School Legal Defense Association, also known as HSLDA.
If you have signed a contract or lease, you have important rights. We review contracts and leases for our clients and advise them about their rights. It is also important to have an attorney review contracts and leases before you sign them. This way you will know what you are signing and can be sure that you will be signing an agreement that will protect your rights and provide the benefits you are seeking. We have reviewed contracts and leases for numerous clients and helped them negotiate changes to accomplish their goals. If you believe the other party to a contract or lease is not living up to its obligations, we can help you with enforcing your contract rights by bringing a lawsuit for breach of contract. If you have been sued for violating or breaching a contract or lease, we can help you defend your position.
