John is also a graduate of the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.  While at DU, John was a Staff Editor for the Water Law Review, a member of the Natural Resources and Environmental Law Society, and a Staff Writer for The Writ, the law school newspaper.  Most of the time during law school, however, John could be found debating the subtleties of the Rule against Perpetuities with Mr. Hake.

Prior to co-founding H&L, John worked for the law firms of Schlueter, Mahoney & Ross and Pryor Johnson Carney Karr Nixon, both in Denver, Colorado, specializing in construction and small business litigation and transactions, as well as insurance defense work.  Upon developing his own book of business, John became a sole practitioner in 2008, in addition to practicing real estate and commercial law with Tueller & Associates in Telluride, Colorado.

When not superbly acting as your attorney, John can usually be found somewhere in the mountains, dabbling in any variety of outdoor activity.
