Dan is one of the few attorneys on the Western Slope willing to take on the government or law enforcement for civil rights violations.
As a civil rights attorney, Dan represents clients throughout Southwestern Colorado, including Grand Junction, Montrose, and the Four Corners region, 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 who was held in a local county jail for over a year without any institutional accommodations to help him communicate with jail staff. While civil rights cases are not his primary area of practice, they remain a passion of his.
If you or a loved one believes your rights have been violated by law enforcement, Dan will listen carefully and evaluate your case thoroughly. Unlike most attorneys in Western and Southwestern Colorado, he is willing to take action and 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 .
