Equine Law
Mark Cohen and his family live in Nederland, Colorado, a mountain town eighteen miles west of Boulder that is home to many horse enthusiasts. Mr. Cohen advises equine professionals concerning the liability of those engaged in equine activities. He is thoroughly familiar with the Colorado statutes governing equine activities. As an equine lawyer he drafts and reviews boarding agreements, sales contracts, liability waivers, and statutory warning notices. He advises clients concerning agistor's liens and prepares related documents. He is experienced in preparing and foreclosing agistor's liens and in defending such foreclosure actions. He also has experience in replevin and prejudgment attachment actions involving horses.
In one case he successfully defended the operator of a stable in a civil suit arising out of the death of a horse. In another he successfully represented the purchaser of a horse in a civil suit (replevin) brought by the seller after the transaction had been completed in which the seller claimed there had been a misunderstanding as to which horse had been sold; the trial court awarded attorney’s fees to the firm’s client in that case, and the entire decision was affirmed on appeal. In still another case, when a client's do-it-yourself agistor's lien was declared invalid Mr. Cohen filed a civil action against the horse owners for unjust enrichment and obtained a verdict for his client in that action.
