A Message To Our Clients About Reaching Out To Our Team
As all of our clients are aware, the eviction process in Colorado (and in each County therein) has changed significantly over the last few years and, as a result of all these changes, our methods for communicating with our clients have evolved.
As such, we wanted to provide our clients with a quick guide on our new communication processes, so you can be sure you’re directing all your communications (eviction-related and otherwise) to the right place. This will help us serve you better.
Also, please note that when you email us with a new eviction case, situation, or other question, it will assist us to only send the message once to the appropriate party. Sending a particular message to multiple recipients at the Firm, sending a message several times, and/or CCing several different email addresses can lead to confusion, duplicative work, and delays in helping respond to you. If you reach out, we assure you that someone will follow up with you as soon as we are able to help.
NEW EVICTIONS: DEMANDS FOR RENT (EXISTING CLIENTS)
If you are an existing client and have a new Demand for Rent to file, please email your demand to ONE of the team members below. They will follow up as soon as your cases are processed.
You can currently reach our Evictions team at asta@thslawfirm.com, cynthia@thslawfirm.com, nessa@thslawfirm.com, or sarah@thslawfirm.com.
If you have not filed a case with our Firm since June 2021 or earlier: Due to significant changes in the law, you will be required to schedule a pre-eviction Consultation with one of our attorneys to review your case, leasing document, and the Evictions Process generally prior to filing. Please contact our Situations Department (situations@thslawfirm.com) if you would like to schedule a consultation.

Typically, a client/community will develop a rapport with one member of our team. If there’s a person on the Evictions team that you’ve communicated with before about your cases, it’s usually best to keep working with that team member as you submit new eviction cases since they will be most familiar with the particular nuances of your company/community.
Communication Regarding the Receipt of Your Demand
Based on changes to the law enacted in 2021, we almost never process eviction cases the same day we receive Demands from clients. Generally, Demands are processed within 3 to 4 business days of receipt. This will not get shorter in the future because of how the changes to the law (and those instituted by the Courts) affect our ability to process and file your case.
You will receive an email from one of the Eviction Department staff members as soon as your Demand is processed, and you’ll receive another email with a Confirmation Report once the case is actually filed. This is your confirmation that we received your Demand, and you should receive this email within 3 to 4 business days from the time we receive your Demand.
Email and fax are very reliable. If you emailed or faxed us your Demands, we almost certainly received them. We respectfully request that you do not follow up regarding your Demand for at least 5 business days from the date you sent them.
Further, please do not email multiple people at the Firm about your Demands (or anything else). Emailing additional staff, attorneys, or departments about any issue only causes further delays. Following this protocol is the single biggest thing you can do to help us streamline communications with all of our clients, because it eliminates a huge volume of unnecessary emails.
Finally, if following up about a faxed Demand please send your follow-up emails only to braden@thslawfirm.com.

Since the beginning of 2020 the eviction case process does not, and never will, progress as quickly as it did before. Both the Colorado laws and the county court filing procedures have changed significantly. Our staff is following up with the courts about your cases EVERY DAY and will update the Client Portal in real-time as soon as they have confirmation from the court that your judgment has entered. This process varies by county and can take between 3 to 15 days from the appearance date for a judgment to enter. If you do not see an update to your case on the Client Portal, it means we have not received any changes or updates from the court.
The Client Portal on THSLawFirm.com is always the best place to get up-to-date information about your eviction cases, and the best place to send us your updates as cases progress (e.g. notifying us a resident has paid or moved). The Client Portal provides our clients with up-to-the-minute information from our case database, so you can always rely on our site for the most current status of every case.
NEW SITUATIONS
If you have a new Situation to send to our team, you have two options:
#1 Client Portal: To submit a Situation on the Client Portal, (1) log into the website, (2) click the “Client Portal” link at the top of the screen, (3) click the “Click Here to View Your Cases” link, (4) click “+ New Situation”, and (5) complete the form.
