My entire career has been devoted to helping people with legal problems.I know the criminal justice system inside and out, and use my skills to get my clients out of it!Helping injured people get fair compensation for their injuries has always been part of my practice.
Aside from being a highly respected trial and appellate attorney, successfully litigating criminal, personal injury, and wrongful death cases from the lowliest of municipal courts to the United States Supreme Court, and earning accolades such as being selected a Colorado Super Lawyer, being awarded the highest possible Martindale Hubbell rating for the past 30+ years, and being selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America, I am a husband, father, and good friend. I have varied experiences which help me in both my personal and professional lives, including 2 years driving a taxi cab in Denver at night, flipping burgers at Griff's, running a golf course, successfully completing two Hawaiian Ironman competitions, qualifying and running the Boston Marathon in under 3 hours, and becoming a knowledgeable wine guy and ameteur oenologist in my spare time. I enjoy endurance athletics, particularly mountain biking on difficult trails, reading, going to the theater, and movies, but nothiong as much as representing my clients in court: that is where I am most comfortable and feel fulfilled.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Scott Robinson is a highly effective attorney. Over many years of practicing law I have been opposing counsel on numerous cases with Scott. What makes him effective is his ability to present an argument in a disarming and compassionate way that causes the recipient to listen and entertain his view on the issues in the case. Scott possesses the most important trait for a lawyer: credibility.
