I grew up in Denver with my family who remain in the Denver area. My interests are mainly arts related; I am a fan of the local opera company, High Desert Opera, and the local music.
I graduated from Regis University in 2004, receiving a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Finance and a minor in Business Administration. During my undergraduate period, I maintained full time employment with a large food distribution company based in the Denver area.
In December 2007, I graduated early from the University of Tulsa College of Law, receiving my Juris Doctorate degree. I explored the legal field widely while in law school, working as a research assistant to one of my professors regarding cultural property, studying abroad in both Ireland and Argentina, and interning with private employers and the Tulsa County Public Defender's Office. I was also the social chair for the local chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity.
I moved to Grand Junction in 2008 after a period of interning for the Colorado State Public Defender's Office. Prior to joining Younge & Hockensmith as an associate, I maintained a small practice with a friend from law school in Grand Junction focusing mainly on family law issues.

Excellent experience with Rich!
We contacted Rich regarding a quitclaim deed we were having trouble with. He was professional, knowledgeable and so warm. Really has a heart of gold to match his experience and expertise.

Helped me beyond expectations
I was put in a bind due to an auto accident, and some very finicky laws leading to the offending party deciding I was at fault. Mr. Lane helped a young, mostly law ignorant guy like me figure out a way to not only protect myself and my license from two big named insurance companies coming after me, b...

Super guy, especially for administrative and economic matters
I am a paying client. Richard is very clear about explaining legal issues and attaching likelihood to your opponent's responses. He is appropriately outraged at times, and will stop at nothing (including calling cabinet secretaries) to make the case. AVVO does not "approve" of my reviews, let's se...
"I worked for Rich and can speak to his dedication to his work. Rich is a zealous advocate with a immense knowledge of Colorado law."
"Mr. Lane is a very effective advocate for his clients. I'm impressed with his professional demeanor and his legal ability. I strongly recommend him as counsel for whatever legal matter you're needing him for."
"Mr. Lane has consistently been able to allow clients to have a full appreciation of their case and has also thought outside of the box in several instances to achieve a desired outcome."
"Mr. Lane maintains a diverse skill set that will always benefit his clients, irrespective of the practice area. As a DDA in Grand Junction, I encountered Mr. Lane on the occasional criminal matter and he stood out as an always zealous and prepared advocate. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Rich's work. I have found him to be incredibly knowledgeable as to matters of the law and capable of effectively implementing that knowledge to the benefit of his clients. The other thing I really appreciate about Rich is his candor with clients to help them effectively judge their situation. I endorse this attorney."
