Lane Cohen
OARC records him as not in private practice and not carrying professional liability insurance — both fields read NO — while he practises at a Lakewood personal injury firm. He is one of two of these fourteen whose record reads that way. We print what the register says and do not explain it away.
The bar record
We read Lane Cohen in the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel attorney search — an independent office of the Colorado Supreme Court, and the state’s actual regulator. Every row below is OARC’s.
We were not given this record. We went and got it. The entry supplied to us for this listing came from licensedlawyer.org, which is not the regulator — and which returns 403 Forbidden to us, so we could not load it to check anything on it. So we searched the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel ourselves and built this listing from what it holds. On three of our fourteen Denver listings the directory and the regulator name different employers; on one the directory publishes an entirely different person’s biography. Every Verified tag on this page is OARC’s. Nothing from the directory carries one.
Colorado is the only register that tells you where its own knowledge stops. Eleven other registers on this site answer the discipline question in some fashion — Texas prints a sentence, Washington refuses to, Pennsylvania does not ask. Colorado answers and then bounds the answer in the same breath: “…no public disciplinary history on file for this attorney within the state of Colorado.” Nine words that tell you exactly what the register does not know. It also publishes two fields nobody else does — whether the lawyer is in private practice, and whether they carry professional liability insurance — and two of our fourteen read NO to both. A register that asks a question can produce an answer you did not expect. Eleven others could not have produced it at all.
What the record shows
OARC records Is in Private Practice: NO and Carries Professional Liability Insurance: NO against his name, at Mintz Law Firm LLC in Lakewood. He and Kari Jones Dulin are the only two of fourteen whose records read that way; the other twelve read Yes to both.Verified
We do not know why, and we are not going to guess. These are fields the lawyer completes at registration, and there are ordinary explanations — a stale filing, a coverage held at firm rather than individual level, a definition of “private practice” that does not fit. What we can tell you is that eleven other registers on this site do not ask the question at all, and Colorado does.Verified
His biography says he has practised personal injury and workers’ compensation since 1988, after the University of Dayton School of Law, and worked in Ohio for many years before moving to Colorado. OARC covers 2004 onward — twenty-two of his claimed thirty-eight years. The Ohio register is a different regulator and we have not searched it.Verified
The firm’s rideshare page devotes a section to out-of-state visitors and one to ski patrol reporting after resort accidents. In sixteen cities we have not read another rideshare page that contemplates a ski resort.Verified
