Expertise: Postconviction Litigation/Appeals
Paralegal Services/Legal Research/Brief and Motions drafting in civil and criminal matters
If your firm or Practice is in need of support, I have 3 decades of experience to offer and am available in the Downtown area. Centered in the MoreLaw Suites, near the courthouses, I offer the following services:
Specialty Services: Post-conviction and appellate litigation. I was the law librarian/legal assistant for pro-se defendants for over a decade and perfected hundreds of appeals and post-conviction motions. I also worked for Colorado Alternate Defense Counsel as a Post-conviction and Appellate Specialist for many years and was successful in many cases, returning over 450 years in sentence reductions or vacated convictions. I also have 16 published opinions, including:
* Bullard v. DOC, 949 P.2d 999 (Colo.1997) (Writ of Mandamus directed to DOC to release Bobby Bullard).
* Craig v. People, 986 P.2d 951 (Colo. 1999) (Enforced plea agreement under contract law, challenging mandatory parole extension of sentence in breach of contractually binding plea agreement).
* Shipley v. People, 45 P.3d 1277 (Colo. 2002)(Set precedent that Special Offenders were eligible for alternative types of sentences. 25 year prison term converted to five years probation on remand).
* Allen v. Reed, 427 F.3d 767 (10th Cir. 2005) (Employed Apprendi v. New Jersey to invalidate Coloradoā€™s aggravated sentencing scheme).
* Specialized in obtaining relief for breaches of plea agreements under contract law, employing Santobello v. New York, 404 U.S. 257, 92 S. Ct. 495, 30 L. Ed. 2d 427 (1971) and its progeny. Succinct case analysis and diagnosis of whether a breach exists and, if so, the preferable remedy.

I am also experienced in the areas of:
* Legal Research
* Brief and Motions preparation
* Case Analysis
* Investigations
* Pretrial Strategy
* Family Law
* Divorce
* Custody
* Support modification
* Civil Rights
After over a quarter of a century in the trenches, I have developed the ability to review a record and then diagnose a case and crystallize the meritorious issues quickly. I am task oriented and take directions well. I meet deadlines and love to research. Give me a legal question and I'll find your answer and prepare a draft of the memorandum, motion or brief. My specialty is case analysis for appellate and post-conviction clients. I can review an entire record, whether plea or trial, and ferret out the salient and meritorious issues. I am never afraid to say "I don't know"¯ because I do know how to find the answer: MooreLaw.com, Westlaw, Lexis Nexus, OSCN.net, and Google. I am also very experienced in pretrial strategies where we can assist a client before any damage can be done, eliminating the need for any appeal or post-conviction litigation altogether. Most of all, perhaps, I care. I care about what I do. I care about people and have found purpose in assisting people. If you could use another attorney at the expense of a paralegal, please give me an opportunity to prove my worth.
