Got a speeding ticket in Denver for 25-39 mph over. Need to appear in court. Have a clean record. Should I get a lawyer?
Asked in Denver, CO | February 13, 2026I was driving 83 in a 55 and am scheduled for traffic court on March 19th. I'm 22 and have no prior offenses. Is it likely that my penalty will be automatically reduced from a misdemeanor to an infraction and fewer points? What is typical in this situation? If I get a lawyer, might it get reduced even more and avoid the need for a court appearance?

How do I get a non-probate from state that I am the administrator of my own estate after wife died?
Asked in Loveland, CO | January 21, 2026I need advice and solutions to two items:
1. My wife died a few months ago and I need to get her medical records in 3 hospitals. Not sure on the process but I guess I have to prove I am an administrator of my own estate plus death certificate per Colorado law. My wife and I did not do an official Will, since all assets are joint in home property, bank accounts, vehicles and investments and insurance had their own designation in all cases to me as beneficiary which all have been completed. Need help getting Administrator/representative status from the state I guess to get records. I have death certificates left over.
2. Since I am now alone I will need a will or trust created on all assets for my daughter, but this is secondary to the medical records needed right away.

Auto insurance provider not thoroughly investigating my accident. It wasn't my fault. How do I proceed?
Asked in Denver, CO | February 17, 2026I was rear-ended after backing out of an alley. I was no longer in reverse gear. Insurance absolutely refuses to pull EDR to help determine fault. I obtained video surveillance footage and zoomed in on the other driver 7 seconds before the collision. He was turning right while looking down at his phone, which he was holding in his right hand between his chest and the steering wheel. In the vid, it is clear he never hit his brakes; he didn't use his brakes until after I did, when the collision happened. He didn't swerve or flinch when he saw me enter the road. As if he didn't see me because he wasn't looking out his windshield, he was looking at his phone. The impact broke my rear impact bar, which cannot happen from a low-speed T-bone collision. He hit me after I had backed into the street at an angle. when he hit me, his momentum kept in the forward motion across my rear bumper turning my vehicle to be perpendicular with the sidewalk and parallel with the alley which made it look like i had T boned him while backing out of the alley. I had already shifted out of reverse and was looking ahead of my vehicle when the impact occurred.
