Protecting Your Dog's Life

Dogs that are accused of biting humans are sometimes labeled as vicious and dangerous with little thought being paid to the circumstances that led to the incident. Dogs are taken from their owners and locked up. They face the possibility of being euthanized.

I am attorney Madeline Lia Duncan. I represent pet owners in the Denver and Bolder area who are charged with having a vicious or dangerous dog. As a dog owner myself, I understand the deep affection people share with their pets. Your dog should not suffer because someone else may have been acting carelessly. Contact me to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case.

Factors to Consider

Several factors should be considered pertaining to the alleged biting:

• Where did the incident take place? (on your property or in public)
• Did the person injured ignore warnings?
• Did the injured person provoke the dog?
• Does the animal have a history of violent actions?

Dogs rarely act maliciously when unprovoked.

Taking Action

These cases generally end up in municipal or county court. In some cases I attempt to work out a deal with prosecutors in which dogs are returned to their owners as long as both the owner and dog attend some form of training. These agreements often include other reasonable accommodations including making the dog wear a muzzle. Sometimes these cases do go to trial.

Having open communication with my clients is the foundation on my practice. In my nearly two decades of practicing law, I have learned how to efficiently obtain results for my clients. I offer excellent legal representation at discounted rates.
