Problems As My Own

Creditor Law

An entity to whom an obligation is owed because it has given something of value in exchange. This can take the form of “secured debt,” which is debt backed by a mortgage, pledge of collateral, or other lien or debt for which the creditor has the right to pursue specific pledged property upon default. Examples include home mortgages and auto loans (replevin). Other debts may be considered “unsecured” if no collateral has attached. These take the form of collections and typically involve garnishments.

Local Counsel

Some businesses are located outside of Colorado. Other businesses hire an attorney outside of Colorado. Both of these result in the need for “local counsel.” The attorney then seeks out Colorado counsel to represent the business as needed. Douglas D. Koktavy, P.C. frequently
serves as local counsel for national businesses and out-of-state law firms in cases that have a Colorado connection. You can trust us to protect your reputation, to provide the highest level of service to your clients, and to handle your business litigation and transaction cases with competence and integrity.

If your law firm has clients who need proven and reliable legal representation in Colorado, our lawyers can provide assistance for a single case or form a long-term relationship for their ongoing needs. Contact us to discuss your situation.

Commercial Litigation

A commercial dispute results when one or more of these parties is a business entity such as a partnership or a corporation.

Commercial litigation and other types of civil litigation typically proceed in the same way. The Plaintiff retains an attorney, both sides conduct factual investigations, attorneys on both sides research applicable law, engage in settlement negotiations, the Plaintiff’s attorney files the lawsuit, both sides conduct discovery, participate in motion practice, go before a judge or jury to try the case, file motions post-trial, and whatever else may be required depending on the specific case.
