PERSONAL INFORMATION |
| |
|
I was raised in a rural Iowa small town, then attended high school in West
Des Moines. Upon completion of undergrad degree in 1973, I migrated
to Colorado and then again upon completion of law school in December,
1980. I flew back to take the Iowa bar exam in January, 1981 and
took the Colorado bar exam in February, 1981. Having passed each
bar, I made my permanent home in Colorado. I'm not a native, but
have lived the majority of my life in this beautiful Rocky Mountain state,
and raised my daughter alone here from infancy through emancipation.
When opportunity
occurs, I enjoy the mountains, skiing once in a while, tennis,
swimming, riding horses and puttering around in the yard or tool man
fix-it projects. |

TRADE AREA & TRAVEL
OUTSIDE EL PASO COUNTY
GEOGRAPHIC
DISTANCE
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Colorado is a big state.
Easy communication access via
internet, 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
from out of state or are 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. |
|
|
|
|
Southern Colorado Area |
|
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. |
