Land-use attorneys

Folkestad Fazekas Barrick & Patoile

Folkestad Fazekas Barrick Patoile & James, P.C. is a Castle Rock, Colorado law firm founded in 1972. It is a general practice firm whose real property work covers land use, commercial real estate, conservation easements, special districts, mechanic's liens, oil and gas, HOA matters, rental property owners, foreclosure, and real property tax appeals.

Alongside the property practice the firm handles business and corporate law, contracts and agreements, construction litigation, employment law for Colorado employers, civil litigation, bankruptcy, estate planning and probate, family law, personal injury, and criminal defense, including matters involving ranches, equine facilities, barns, game preserves, and gun clubs. Most matters start with a free initial telephone call from an attorney, and an attorney is usually reachable after hours and on weekends through the firm's main number.

The firm grew out of a Castle Rock practice started in 1972, adding partners in 2004 and again in 2017 as the name expanded. Its attorneys appear in local, state, and federal courts across the Front Range, including Douglas, Elbert, Arapahoe, Denver, Adams, Jefferson, El Paso, Boulder, Larimer, Weld, Park, Teller, Summit, Eagle, Pitkin, Gilpin, and Lincoln counties, from an office at 18 South Wilcox Street in Castle Rock.

Rates and fee arrangements are not published. Because the practice is broad rather than land-use only, ask which attorney would carry an entitlement or zoning matter before engaging.
