Legal Help for People Doing Good Works
Doing good works can be costly. But there's no reason legal fees need to drag down an aspiring vision.
Organizing and running a nonprofit is every bit as difficult as any for profit business. Arguably it can be even harder between fundraising and answering to a higher cause. Whether helping kids in need or creating an advocacy organization to engage political constituencies or banding together an industry trade association, even volunteer-led nonprofits can quickly become full-time "jobs."
​

Experience & Expertise
Over the course of my legal career, I've worked with more than 100 nonprofit organizations at every stage from startup to winding down. My clients have included many of Colorado's top trade associations, political organizations, and charitable foundations.
