The County Attorney also handles other legal issues for the County, including when people claim the County is responsible for accidents or injuries.

The attorneys from this office go to court and other legal meetings on behalf of the County.  They handle many types of legal issues for the County, like disagreements over land use, employment and contracts.  All attorneys are licensed to work in all Colorado courts, plus some attorneys are licensed to work in Federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
