E. Alexander "Zandy" DeSalvo has been providing representaion in plaintiffs, personal injury/wrongful death and in criminal defense matters for complex and small cases for over 40 years. Having family roots in Colorado for over 120 years has helped him witness, first hand, the growth and cultural distinctions that exist between our urban centers and vast rural areas. Having a keen understanding of the diversity of our state has aided client representation since no case is the same and no jurisdiction is the same. As an attorney you owe it to your client to know the turf you are competing on.
The field of law is always changing, and counsel must effectively adapt to best serve the client’s interests. The goal is not to loose sight of the client’s objectives no matter what obstacles may affect the client’s case. These considerations lead to practical and innovative solutions Mr. DeSalvo brings depending on the individual needs of the case.
In the plaintiff’s personal injury arena, staying on top of the medicine pertinent to the client’s case is vital. The ability to understand and relate the medico-legal concepts during settlement negotiations or litigation is of critical importance and I strive to do this in every case large or small.
Just as vital as understanding the liability and damage component of a personal injury case, is helping the client to cope with the insurance and medical provider issues applicable to their case. In an environment where insurance companies seem to control our daily lives, clients need a lawyer unafraid to challenge these companies to achieve maximum recovery for the client. This requires a keen understanding of what duties are owed by insurance carriers in third party and first party actions.In administrative law matters, an attorney's quick response can prove helpful in mitigating common errors made by licencees and professionals from blossoming into full fledged enforcemnet actions. However, in this event clients need agressive counsel to advance their interests should the matter ever come to hearing.
In the criminal defense arena, my attention is focused on the interplay between the factual, procedural, and legal aspects of the citizen-police contact. The facts in any case are contolling and must be developed to give the client a fighting chance. I want the client to participate directly from the start. Every client is the most important player on the defense team, and not a spectator who simply defers to his counsel because "he’s the lawyer."
It is a client’s cooperation and his or her ability to assist counsel, that matters. Client assistance no matter how small, is what helps make or break cases. This trust and cooperation borne of the attorney-client privilege, is what leads to favorable results in criminal cases.
