Litigation
Steamboat Lawyers Group, PLLC provides experienced, high quality, professional and ethical representation and advice in a wide range of civil litigation and mediation areas for individuals and businesses. Our senior counsel, Kent Campbell, has nearly 35 years' experience as a litigator, trial lawyer, and defense attorney, gained primarily on the northern front range of Colorado from where he, his wife Trisha, and their cocker spaniel Lucy have relocated to Steamboat Springs, and in the Denver metro area. Although we provide aggressive litigation representation when necessary, we also seek to resolve disputes as economically and efficiently as possible, often using alternative dispute resolution methods including mediation and arbitration. Of course, some cases must proceed to trial. When that occurs, you will have a highly experienced and skilled litigator with a proven record of successful verdicts, judgments, settlements and appellate decisions in state and federal courts in your corner. And you will receive the small town, friendly and compassionate advice of trusted legal counselors guiding your litigation-related decisions and strategy.Kent is at ease and effective in the courtroom on account of his many years of experience trying cases before a wide variety of Colorado judges and juries in towns and cities small and large. Venue rules sometimes require local cases be tried in locations other than Steamboat Springs and Routt County. Rest assured that Kent is as experienced trying cases in large metropolitan courtrooms as he is in smaller communities. You will receive the same skill, effort, determination, resources and persuasive advocacy wherever your litigation needs require that he appear on your behalf.

In addition to being admitted in all state and federal courts in Colorado, Kent is also admitted to practice before the United States Courts of Appeals for the Eighth and Tenth Circuits and the United States Supreme Court. Kent is highly experienced not only in trying cases but also in handling state and federal appeals. He is available to handle the appeals which often follow trial court verdicts and judgments should the need arise.
Litigation is governed by highly complex rules of procedure and evidence which Kent has mastered through exceptional academic performance in law school, continuing education and lengthy practical experience. Litigation is often time-consuming and emotionally draining for clients. Kent will help shoulder those burdens as you and he together navigate the modern litigation minefield.
