Professional Summary
Stephen earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1986. After graduation, he played professional hockey in Europe and then worked as a stockbroker in Boulder, Colorado. In 1992, Stephen obtained his law degree from the University of Denver College of Law, where he was a member of the Student Law Office. During law school, Stephen was a clerk for the Honorable Martin P. Miller, former Arapahoe County District Court Judge and Arapahoe County District Attorney.

Early in his career, Stephen's practice was divided evenly between criminal defense and civil litigation. His criminal practice gave him extensive, first-chair, jury trial experience which translated well to his civil practice. Since 2000, Stephen's practice has focused primarily on commercial litigation, although he remains an active member of the criminal defense bar.

Currently
Steve’s practice focuses primarily on commercial litigation in the areas of secured lending, foreclosure, bankruptcy (creditor representation), construction, mechanic’s liens, real estate and landlord/tenant matters. Steve is a competitor, and his philosophy is that a client’s rights should always be aggressively pursued. He is experienced enough to know, however, that a client is not well served when the cost of victory exceeds the benefit, or when an adverse consequence might have been avoided by a more objective, reasoned and pragmatic approach to a problem. In the end, Steve’s goal is for every client to receive zealous, professional representation and a just result.
