The Animal Law Center provides an array of legal services for animal owners and guardians. We are the only dedicated strictly to animal law practice in Colorado and are one of the few firms through the United States that practices animal-related law on a full time basis. The Animal Law Center aims to advance the legal status of animals in alignment with mainstream American views. By working closely with the judicial, legislative, and animal welfare communities, the ALC strives to achieve legal recognition that animals are sentient beings, deserving of protection. The ALC also endeavors to strengthen the legal recognition that destruction of the bond between an animal and his/her guardian is often cause of severe emotional pain and suffering. As the law stands in many states, a pet is worth only its market value and a person is no more liable for causing your emotional suffering by killing your companion animal than he is by cutting the power cord to your television. ALC has changed this in many Colorado cases to have animals recognized as members of the family having intrinsic value to their family.

The Animal Law Center handles any type of legal action, whether it is transactional or litigation, that affects the rights, standing and/or welfare of an animal or its human counterpart. Animal law encompasses all traditional legal practices including, but not limited to, contracts, torts, product liability, malpractice, livestock and equine law, family law, estate planning, landlord-tenant, property, disability law, and constitutional law. Because there is very little pro-animal legal precedent in existence, each case handled by the ALC offers an opportunity to change the legal future for animals across the United States.
