About

I grew up in Denver with my family who remain in the Denver area.  My interests are mainly arts related; I am a fan of the local opera company, High Desert Opera, and the local music. I graduated from Regis University in 2004, receiving a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Finance and a minor in Business Administration. During my undergraduate period, I maintained full time employment with a large food distribution company based in the Denver area. In December 2007, I graduated early from the University of Tulsa College of Law, receiving my Juris Doctorate degree.  I explored the legal field widely while in law school, working as a research assistant to one of my professors regarding cultural property, studying abroad in both Ireland and Argentina, and interning with private employers and the Tulsa County Public Defender's Office.  I was also the social chair for the local chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity. I moved to Grand Junction in 2008 after a period of interning for the Colorado State Public Defender's Office. Prior to joining Younge & Hockensmith as an associate, I maintained a small practice with a friend from law school in Grand Junction focusing mainly on family law issues.

Richard was very professional, and put my mind at ease. After 32 years of marriage, now faced with divorce. Needless to say many concerns, and emotions. I have just started this journey with Richard, but all the faith in the world that he will see the best outcome for me. Thank you Richard.

I was put in a bind due to an auto accident, and some very finicky laws leading to the offending party deciding I was at fault. Mr. Lane helped a young, mostly law ignorant guy like me figure out a way to not only protect myself and my license from two big named insurance companies coming after me, but also allowed some fighting back to be done. While in the end we dropped our offense due to the end result not being worth the time, emotional investment, and cost it still left me with solid future defense in case I am pursued again. So Mr. Lane has spared me a massive debt in my early 20s, and for that he has my eternal gratitude.

My mother passed away suddenly and we were at a loss as to how to proceed to close her small estate. We (luckily) chose Richard for some legal advice. He very kindly squeezed us into his schedule for a Q & A, since we had all come from out of state and needed to take care of the necessities before returning home. He met with our family and clearly explained what needed to be done, helped us with the paperwork and answered all our questions. We were so very impressed! I would highly recommend him without reservation.

When I called Mr. Lane with our legal matter he was very interested and helpful, also quick to get us in his office to give us peace of mind. He was very knowledgeable on all questions my husband and I asked him about. He walked us though step by step of what we needed to do on our part. I would recommend him to ANYONE, he knows his sh*t and will give you the honest truth and won't hold back on doing what is best for you and your situation. I will keep him in mind if there was ever a time to need his services again. His work was truly appreciated from my husband and I.

I am a paying client. Richard is very clear about explaining legal issues and attaching likelihood to your opponent's responses. He is appropriately outraged at times, and will stop at nothing (including calling cabinet secretaries) to make the case. AVVO does not "approve" of my reviews, let's see if this one gets past.

Richard Lane was knowledgeable beyond my expectations, very professional and efficient. He was a pleasure to work with, as was his staff. He didn't waste my time, but got everything done that was needed. He showed me ways of keeping as much money in my pockets as possible. He was genuinely interested in helping me with my situation. Basically he is a no BS guy who knows how to get things done and has been doing it long enough to know what to spend time and money on and what will not be needed. Thank you Richard! YOU Rock! Sincerely, D J T If you would like a personal reference I would be happy to talk with you. Please contact Richard for my phone number.

I am fortunate that I don't believe I will have to hire an attorney for the issue in question. However, Richard was extremely considerate and thoughtful in his responses to a few questions when I contacted him to summarize my situation. My 'review' isn't official - but I absolutely would recommend to anyone to call him first if the type of attorney they need fits his practice and I would do so myself. Thanks, Richard, for your ear and ideas.

Did not listen to hear why I was there. Had my situation resolved without knowing facts. Frustrating.
