Denver, CO asked in Civil Litigation, Civil Rights, Constitutional Law and Contracts for Colorado

Q: Looking for a Civil Attorney. Left leg amputated. Not get a fair trial exculpatory evidence held from the jury.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: It looks like you are seeking an attorney for what appears to be an appeal matter. Do not wait to be contacted by attorney. That isn't the way this board works. It is for posting legal questions. You can seek out attorneys, but you can't sit and wait to be contacted by one based on a post.

Seek the advice of a Colorado attorney without delay (preferable tomorrow morning). You describe what appears to be a very serious matter (amputation), and although it is posted under contracts, it isn't clear if it involves personal injury, medical error, workplace accident, or other casualty. If a Colorado attorney determines you have the grounds for an appeal (keep in mind that in general in virtually all jurisdictions, the grounds for appeals can be narrow, they can be costly, and they often need to be filed very quickly - in the order of days) you can determine your next step. If this court outcome is something in which you were represented by counsel, they might be in the best position to quickly advise you whether the exclusion of evidence was improper or legitimately based on inadmissibility issues.

You should speak with a Colorado attorney without delay in any case to determine what steps you need to take to preserve your rights if you are contemplating an appeal.
