Jason became interested in the law during his years attending university. As he spent time working with state legislators in passing laws at the state congressional level, Jason realized how criminal cases could impact a person even before the law is signed. In law school, Jason took an interest in criminal law reform by working with at-risk adults and trying to reform State bail statutes with better mental health considerations.

Despite his passion for written law, Jason realized that making academic and political arguments in front of the state congress isn’t what he wanted from his career. Jason realized that the best manner of reform and helping his community comes from helping clients improve their lives. So Jason made a commitment early in his career to fight for justice, in negotiating, litigating, and going to trial on cases across Colorado and being the voice of the unheard and abused. When Jason brought that philosophy to the leading criminal defense firm in Colorado, it was an instant connection. We wanted one of the very very best, and we are proud to say we got him.
