Pretty Good Privacy

After my schooling had been occasionally interrupted by work (as a construction laborer, among other things) and military service (mostly in Korea), I graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver in 1977 with degrees in sociology and psychology and in 1980 from the University of Denver Law School.

After a clerkship with a Denver District Court judge, I joined the Colorado State Public Defender and went to work in the Salida office for three years. I then transferred to the Boulder Public Defender office for two years, whereupon I opened a solo law practice in Boulder, where I remain.

While I take the occasional civil case for one compelling reason or another, the majority of my clients are the innocent accused -- persons who have been or may be accused by the government of having committed a crime. Computer-related cases are of special interest to me.

I have never been a prosecutor, represented an insurance company, or committed any really serious crimes against humanity, although animals and small children regard me with suspicion.
