About

I have been a practicing lawyer for 31 years. My first bar admission was in 1989 in California, my second was in 1992 in Hawaii, and my third in Colorado in 1996.  I have had a very interesting litigation career spanning many subject matters, from intellectual property disputes to maritime/admiralty issues involved with defending recreational scuba diving cases. In two product liability cases involving scuba equipment, that sought ten million dollars in damages in California, complete defense verdicts were obtained in both following month-long jury trials. I have been a passionate diver for 34 years and have been lucky enough dive all over the world. Favorites dive sites are: The Great Barrier Reef, Fiji, Galapagos Islands, Palau, Truk Lagoon, Hawaii and Indonesia. I have also been a life-long skier - and have lived in Aspen for the last 20 years. In Colorado, I was on the legal team that unanimously won an important case in the Colorado Supreme Court. The case involved parental pre-injury liability releases for minors participating in skiing competitions. The decision knocked out the parents claims, but allowed the minors claims to go forward for negligence involved in setting a practice race course on Aspen Mountain. Over the years I have litigated many diverse subject matters including: all aspects of   business; construction; real estate sales,development and boundary disputes; and architectural planning and execution. I am a passionate and zealous advocate for my clients and enjoy the process of solving problems as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Michele was great to work with. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but also very professional and hard-working. Michele was supportive throughout the whole process and made a point to ensure we were all on the same page each step of the way. She really listened to our stories and genuinely wanted to help! Michele's negotiations led to a fantastic settlement offer and I would highly recommend using her for legal representation.

Michele was very compassionate and worked to get us what we deserved. She worked through some tough issues and was willing to talk me through the whole process when I was uncertain of understanding the details of our case.
