Can anyone recommend a lawyer in Colorado? I am willing to pay for advice/representation regarding a tenant/landlord dispute.
Background: I am a DOD civilian employee "living" in Colorado (movers will be loading the truck tomorrow) but was recently ORDERED back to the East Coast (my position was converted to EE and I refused to leave the ARNG so I'm being reassigned.) I signed a 48 month lease (we didn't want to move again) in July but only spent 8 months in CO. I did give 30 days notice after I received hard copy orders from the USG.
My landlord sent a formal letter requesting payment of a $37,400 penalty for breaking the lease and this amount includes $10,000 for utilities.
It appears to me that he believes that he's entitled to 40 months of unpaid rent and wants part of that amount.
Any leads on good attorneys would be most helpful.
