What Our Clients Say

Colorado Legal Counsel advised me on a default judgment I obtained and the appropriate time periods for contesting same. As Mr. Schunk advised and predicted, after garnishment, the defaulting business debtor sought to vacate the judgment, which was mistakenly reversed by the Court but then later reinstated as a result of the correct application of law as argued and presented by Colorado Legal Counsel. This was an incredible win and legal result and attributable to Colorado Legal Counsel's early legal advice on how and when to proceed.
