EXPERIENCE |
Mr. Lonnquist is Special
Counsel to The Tipton Law Firm and first clerked for the
Colorado Supreme Court, and then joined a mid-sized Denver law
firm for five years before being recruited to the legal staff of
a Fortune 200 company. After two years, he relocated to
Washington, D.C. to serve as the company’s registered lobbyist
and head of its public policy arm, a position he held for ten
years. After a year in New York as general counsel for a
merchant banking firm, he returned to Colorado and has practiced
law here uninterruptedly since 1990.
Mr. Lonnquist has worked
overseas for a major New York bank, managed legal projects
employing up to 100 outside litigation attorneys, represented
clients on national radio and television programs, and has
recruited and managed a first tier cadre of lobbyists,
complementing their efforts with a team of pollsters, economic
researchers, public relations specialists, lawyers, and
legislative and communications strategists.
With a practice focused in
business law, contracts, litigation, mediation, and negotiation,
his clientele derives primarily from referrals of his clients
and from other attorneys. He takes a personal interest in the
client’s broader interests which may be affected by the legal
matter of immediate concern to the client. His counsel tends
toward the practical, not the theoretical, and is designed to
serve the client beyond current concerns.
Mr. Lonnquist’s litigation practice is primarily
Colorado state court based, though he is admitted to and has
appeared before the U. S. District Court in Colorado, the U. S.
Bankruptcy Court, and the 10th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Mr. Lonnquist received his Juris Doctor degree,
with distinction, from the University of Nebraska College of
Law, and has current membership in the Federal Bar Association,
the Colorado Bar Association, the Arapahoe County Bar
Association, and the American Association for Justice. He serves
on the Board of Directors of the Cherry Creek Chamber of
Commerce. |
