    Will Contest

    In the Matter of the Estate of Mark M. King, Colorado Court of Appeals Case 2018CA541

    We represented the personal representative of Mark M. King’s estate in a lawsuit filed by Mr. King’s second wife. After Mr. King and his second wife had been married for less than ten months, he died, and she received $4,462,806.00 from a life insurance policy, Mr. King’s retirement plan, and joint bank accounts. Even though she had just become a millionaire and had only been married to Mr. King for a short time, the second wife claimed that she, not Mr. King’s children, was entitled to the majority of the assets in Mr. King’s estate. After trial, the judge denied the second wife’s claim, and she appealed. In a precedent-setting case, the Colorado Court of Appeals agreed with our client that the second wife was not entitled to receive any additional assets.

    Noe Gamez-Ruiz was charged with Criminally Negligent Homicide, Careless Driving Causing Death and Failure to Yield the Right-of-way to Stationary Emergency Vehicle after the semi-tractor-trailer he was driving on I-25 struck and killed Colorado State Trooper Cody Donohue. We represented Noe in two trials that ended in mistrials because the prosecution failed to disclose exculpatory evidence. To sanction the prosecution, the judge dismissed the Criminally Negligent Homicide charge. The prosecution appealed. On appeal, the Colorado Court of Appeals agreed with our argument that the judge properly dismissed the Criminally Negligent Homicide charge as a sanction for the prosecution’s discovery violations.

We represented the City of Glendale in pursuing a declaratory judgment for the unlawful exercise of jurisdiction over a home rule municipality.

We appealed the dismissal. The appellate court agreed with our office, and determined that our client did have the right to bring its claim, reversing the dismissal and sending the case back to the trial court and allowing our client’s claim to move forward.

    Court of Appeals

    People v. Gallegos, Colorado Court of Appeals, Case 23COA47: We represented a criminal defendant in a felony murder trial in Arapahoe County who was found guilty by the jury and was sentenced to a life sentence with the Department of Corrections. We appealed the guilty verdict, arguing that the trial court committed reversable error by refusing to instruct the jury on the affirmative defense to felony murder. The appellate court agreed with our office, and determined that the trial court’s failure to instruct the jury on the affirmative defense, as we argued at trial, was improper, reversing the felony murder conviction and sending the case back to the trial court for a new trial on that charge.
