Dan is one of the only attorneys on the Western Slope that will sue the government and/or governmental actors such as law enforcement for civil rights violations.
As a civil rights attorney, Dan represents clients from Grand Junction and Montrose down to the Four Corners who have experienced violations such as infringements on free speech, violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), denial of medical care in custody, excessive force, and wrongful death.
Several years ago, Dan sued the City of Delta and its police chief over a $1,500 car that was seized and sold despite the owner providing proof of ownership. Dan studied this area of law, brought a claim, and successfully advocated on her behalf. Today, he handles civil rights cases ranging from wrongful death to unlawful search and seizure throughout Southwestern Colorado.
Dan obtained a favorable settlement on behalf of a young deaf man held in a local county jail for over a year without any institutional accommodations that would have assisted him in communicating with jail staff. While not Dan’s primary area of practice, civil rights cases continue to be a passion of his.
If you or a loved one believes your rights have been violated by law enforcement, Dan will listen carefully. He will evaluate your case thoroughly. Unlike most attorneys in Western and Southwestern Colorado, he is willing to take action. Dan will guide you through every step to secure justice.
Dan was extremely helpful throughout my case and I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice with their case he is extremely professional made things quick, easy, and painless .
