Over 30 Years of Experience in the Courtroom
Shortly after law school, Care began working as a deputy district attorney in Boulder. In that role, she handled hundreds of misdemeanor crimes, juvenile offenses, and low-level felony crimes. That background and experience led to her appointment by the governor as a county court judge in Boulder in 1995 and she served in that capacity for fifteen years.
As a judge, Care presided over hundreds of hearings and jury trials. Her criminal docket included DUIs, traffic offenses, misdemeanors, bond hearings and felony preliminary hearings. Her civil cases included protection order cases, landlord/tenant cases, and other civil disputes. In one year serving as a magistrate, Care presided over primarily traffic and misdemeanor cases but also rotated as a domestic relations magistrate presiding over family law disputes.
Care's private practice includes both criminal and family law cases. She handles DUIs, misdemeanor, juvenile and felony cases, protection order cases, CU student conduct hearings, and a plethora of traffic offenses. In domestic relations cases (divorce), Care handles cases from the initial filing to any post-decree matters.
Care received her J.D. degree from the University of Georgia School of Law. She received her B.A. in sociology from Miami University of Ohio.
Care has lived in Boulder for over thirty years. She and her family like to run, ski, hike, cycle and travel. Care and her daughter both volunteer for a local charity organization.
