Question 1

What types of cases does Kosloski Law take?

Accepted Answer

We focus on Colorado civil rights litigation: excessive force, wrongful arrest, unlawful searches and seizures, jail medical neglect, and related claims against police, sheriffs, jails, and other government actors. If you are not sure whether your situation fits, reach out — we will tell you honestly.

Question 2

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

Accepted Answer

We take civil rights cases on a contingency fee, meaning you pay nothing up front and we only get paid if we recover money for you. Initial consultations are free. Costs and fees are explained in writing before you sign anything.

Question 3

How long do civil rights cases take?

Accepted Answer

Most civil rights cases take one to three years from start to finish, sometimes longer if they go to trial or appeal. We move cases as efficiently as the courts and the other side allow, and we keep you informed at every stage.

Question 4

Is there a deadline to file a civil rights claim in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and it is shorter than people often think. Most federal civil rights claims (Section 1983) in Colorado must be filed within two years of the incident, and some state-law claims have even tighter deadlines. The sooner you talk to a lawyer, the more options you have.

Question 5

What if I am not sure I have a case?

Accepted Answer

Reach out anyway. Many of the strongest cases we have taken started with someone who was not sure whether what happened to them was actually unlawful. A short conversation costs nothing and helps you understand your options.

Question 6

Do most cases go to trial?

Accepted Answer

Most civil rights cases resolve before trial, but we prepare every case as if it will be tried. That trial-first approach is what gets the other side to take cases — and our clients — seriously.
