What Judges Have Said About Attorney Steve Kaufman
“I think it was a very difficult case … and you did an excellent job of representing your client and convincing the Court of Appeals that Judge Martinez was incorrect in his – in his analysis.”
“it’s a very well thought out and specific and detailed analysis proffered by Mr. Kaufman on behalf of the Geigers”
“I strongly agree with the sentiments about C.R.C.P. 68 which are expressed by Stephen Kaufman in the attached article which appeared in the January issue of Trial Talk, and I think that the Civil Rules Committee should do something to re-draft the rule in such a way as to put some teeth into it – for both parties in a lawsuit. … I think that most, if not all, of the judges in the state would agree that making some changes in Rule 68 along the lines proposed by Mr. Kaufman would assist the parties in settlement negotiations, and would certainly help expedite the resolution of cases.”

Steve Kaufman has done a remarkable job, not only with respect to the content of the material he provides but the fact that his research forms the basis of an entire issue of the magazine. You and Steve are to be commended: he for the scholarship, research and work it took to put the articles together and you for the wisdom demonstrated in allowing it.”
