Welcome to my website

I spent seven years as a deputy district attorney in Boulder County, Colorado, working on every type of criminal case including: complex drug forfeitures, DUI/DWAI, Vehicular Homicide, Assault, Traffic, Domestic Violence, Weapons, Homicide, Theft, Sex crimes, Drug Sale and Possession. Since 1990 I’ve been the president and founder of the law firm of Lawrence S. Mertes, P.C., focusing my practice in the following areas:

Record Sealing and Restraining Orders
Administrative hearings including: professional license issues, motor vehicle license suspensions and student conduct matters

Personal Injury
Trucking accidents
Bus accidents
Motorcycle and Car accidents

Wrongful Death
Loss of a loved one from the negligence

Insurance Law
Denied claims, coverage issues
and insurance disputes.
For your criminal or traffic case:

A free initial consultation is offered, since the advice you need should be tailored to your specific situation. Preparing a thorough and thoughtful defense to an investigation or criminal charge requires preparation, investigation and an ability to marshal the law and facts in the most favorable fashion possible.

When your case is handled by our firm you will be receiving the attention you deserve from a lawyer who has successfully handled cases in criminal and civil courts in Boulder, Jefferson, Weld, Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas and El Paso Counties, as well as federal courts in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.

For your automobile/truck accident, personal injury, wrongful death or insurance claim:

A free initial consultation is offered ~ so I can begin to understand how your accident or loss has affected the quality of your life, your health and your peace of mind.

You need a lawyer who deals with insurance companies every day.
You want a lawyer who understands that you’d like to be the way you were before somebody’s negligence left you endless visits with doctors, crippling pain, a loss of enjoyment of your life and a stack of medical bills, or simply a big hole in your life.
You want your lawyer to realize that an accident can rob you or a loved one of your right to earn a wage, support your family, pay your bills, or get and keep a promotion.

My firm will fight for you if an accident has left you with a brain that doesn’t work quite right, a limb that doesn’t do what it should do, a wheel chair instead of good functional legs, or any other problem that you didn’t have before.

I will be thorough in my preparation of your claim, versed in the law, creative and able to persuasively argue the facts of your case.
I will try cases that need to be tried, not just look for a settlement.
