Mark E. Ringer
Education
Mark grew up on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, moving to Colorado Springs in his early teen years. Mark was inspired to practice law at a small community college on Colorado's Western Slope, where a professor described the far-reaching impact one small nuance could have on the outcome of a legal case. From there, he attended the University of Colorado, over time receiving an undergraduate degree, law degree, and graduate certificate in juvenile and family law while taking time before law school to serve as a police officer and deputy sheriff in western Kansas. Always on the lookout for knowledge useful to his clients, Mark participates in the IRS’s annual filing season program and holds an inactive Colorado real estate broker license.
Mark got to work practicing while still in law school, representing parents and children in dependency and neglect proceedings and taking criminal cases to trial at a district attorney’s office. Today, Mark guides clients through tranquil and turbulent times alike in situations involving litigation, corporate and business issues, divorce and child care, real estate, criminal charges, and other legal matters. Mark recognizes how important the details of each case are, and is dedicated to making every nuance work in favor of his clients.
Personal
Mark volunteers his free time as a reserve police officer for a northern Colorado law enforcement agency and as a unit commander and corporate legal officer in the Civil Air Patrol. He also enjoys exploring Colorado with his wife and two children.
