He began at the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh, came west for 700+ civil and criminal investigations with the City & County of Denver, prosecuted as a Deputy District Attorney in Colorado's 12th Judicial District, and has practiced privately for twenty-plus years — most recently as Senior Managing Attorney of a Longmont firm — before founding The Longmont Law Firm.
