Assisting You With Your Legal Needs

At the Law Offices of J.A. Bopp, we help businesses and individuals throughout southwest Colorado work through the legal system to achieve their goals. To discuss your legal matter with an experienced attorney, call us at 970-259-0661 or contact us online.

We provide our clients with personal service and dedicated representation in a variety of legal areas.

Business and Corporate Law

If you are starting a new business or tending to a current one, or if you have plans to buy or sell a business, our firm can assist you. We are experienced in many areas of business law, including:

• Business formation issues (profit, non-profit and special-purpose entities)
• Selling or purchasing a business or its assets
• Shareholder, partner and interest-owner issues (e.g., buy-sell agreements)
• Re-structuring or re-organizing your business (e.g., adding an owner, selling an interest, or converting from one type of entity to another.)

Whether it is your primary income source or an investment, business matters are important, and often central, to your way-of-life. We are here to advise you on the best course of action in every step of your business law matter.

Real Estate

Our firm represents property owners and those having an interest in property with a range of legal matters, including:

• The lease, purchase or sale of residential and commercial real estate
• Development issues and owner's associations
• Easement, title or boundary issues and disputes
• Representation of commercial and residential landlords with tenant issues or disputes

Because real estate is often the largest asset you hold, we offer a variety of services to help protect your interests. 

Estate Planning and Administration

If you need to establish a plan for the future of your estate, or if you need assistance in administering the estate of a recently departed loved one, we can help you in every step of the process, including:

• Drafting your will, trust, advance medical directive, guardianship, or power-of-attorney
• Planning for special needs, asset protection, or wealth succession
• Probate of a will, administering a trust, or contesting a will or trust

We appreciate the value of protecting your estate and take pride in helping to properly direct your assets to loved ones. Alternatively, if you have recently lost a loved one, we can serve you with trusted and caring legal assistance in your time of need.

Creditor Representation

Our firm represents creditors seeking payment from their debtors. We routinely handle:

• Debtor defaults under agreements, contracts, promissory notes or other payment obligations
• Obtaining judgments to impose payment on a debt
• Perfecting liens, issuing garnishments, or foreclosing on real property to enforce payment of a judgment

In every step of the process, we will work to help you receive your due payment from those who owe you money.

Since not every business, real estate, estate, or debtor matter has a simplistic and swift solution, we can also represent you in mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
