I am the immediate past Chair of the Boulder Criminal Defense Bar (having served in that position for eight years) a chapter of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, and am now serving my second term on the Board of Directors, Colorado Criminal Defense Bar. I serve on the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar Technology Committee. I am a twice past chair of the Juvenile Law Committee, Boulder Bar Assoc. I took a leave of absence from my regular column in THE RAP SHEET (The Colorado Criminal Defense Bar magazine), so that I could co-edit the criminal law articles for the Coloradbo Bar Association monthly magazine, The Colorado Lawyer. I was elected to the Executive Council of the Coloardo Bar Association Criminal Law Committee, and am currently the Chair of that council. I have been published in the Colorado Lawyer several times. (Sorry for all of the "I"s. It does make it easier to tell you who I am professionally). I served five years on the Board of Directors of the Boulder County Bar Association, and served on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Municipal Judges Assoc. I teach numerous continuing legal education courses to other lawyers throughout the state and nationally, as well as having been an occasional guest lecturer at New Mexico Highlands University, and at the the Boulder County Department of Social Services, sexual abuse team. I am a guest lecturer at the Denver University School of Law. I have acted as a Special County Attorney for Boulder County numerous times when the regular staff of attorneys was unavailable for periodic "retreats." I am a mentor to newer attorneys throughout the State Of Colorado, (spending about 4 hours a week advising other criminal defense attorneys) and retired as a director after many years service on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. I have been accepted as a lifetime member of the National Register of Who's Who, and Who's Who in American Law has had me listed. I was privileged to be named Volunteer of the Year by Boulder Action for Soviet Jewry (1995). I also served on the V.A.L.E. board (Victim and Law Enforcement) for its first three years, including a year as president. I served as a presiding judge for the 16 ^th Annual Colorado Mock Trial Competition. I am an overachiever, and Fox TV has had me as an attorney on one of their court TV show, Power of Attorney. I had four episodes aired during 2001. The show was cancelled as a result of the 9/11 attacks.

Education: Juris Doctor, Rutgers University Law School, 1975. Bachelor of General Studies, (majors in physics, math, psychology, English, and accounting), cum laude, from Ohio University, 1972.

Personal: I have been married for over 19 years, and have a very wide range of interests. I perceive myself as a "Renaissance man" with skills in the fine arts, music, sciences, literature, and also with "hands on" types of work. In my home shop, I work with wood, metal, and plastic, with projects ranging from handling knives, to turning accessories for spinning wheels, to building table top battle robots (1st place in 1993, 3rd place in 1994 Critter Crunch, "Nifty Critter" ribbon, 1996). A watercolor of mine took a third place ribbon in the 1995 Lafayette Art Show. Lately, I have re-focused on photography, enjoying the new digital medium. I was one of the creators of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar website, at http://www.ccdb.org and was webmaster at http://www.crimelynx.com (until the student surpassed the teacher and took over). I have played guitar for 40 years, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it .

Fees: Please ask me ANY questions about fees. I accept checks, cash, and major credit cards. Fees are generally paid completely in advance, on an engagement (minimum) fee basis, or on an hourly fee paid from a retainer (or a combination of these). My hourly rate is generally $400 per hour, (or less, for traffic cases, and some of the less serious charges. Rates may be as low as $250 per hour) depending on the severity and complexity of the problem.
