Whether she is handling your defense or advocating for your rights in a family court, Care listens as much as she talks in order to develop a clear understanding of each client’s unique circumstances, short- and long-term objectives.
Care was appointed as a county court judge in Boulder in 1995 and served in that capacity for fifteen years. Before that she was a traffic magistrate for one year and a deputy district attorney for seven years.
As a judge, Care presided over hundreds of hearings and jury trials. Her cases included DUIs, traffic offenses, misdemeanors and felony preliminary hearings.
