Services for Mental Health Professionals

Mental health professionals have turned to us for years looking for answers to their legal problems. Our firm has successfully resolved issues of coaching standards in Colorado and how they apply to mental health practitioners. In February 2012, our firm successfully argued for and obtained a reversal from the Court of Appeals against the State of Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) and the State Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. This is the only time in DORA’s more than 30 year history where it was compelled by the courts to issue a reversal as a result of our law firm’s actions. Despite this, we do not maintain an adversarial relationship with DORA, but work with them to resolve a variety of issues. It is through creative partnerships like this, and innovative corporate structures (like our Master Services Organization), that we are able to offer solutions to mental health professionals that fully address their needs. Our comprehensive services include:

  • Legal representation — Robert A. Lees & Associates advises you on such important matters as DORA regulatory law, grievance defense, dispute resolution, business issues, asset protection and risk management for child-centered practices.
  • Record Breaking Defense – Robert A. Lees & Associates was the first law firm to win an appeals action against the State of Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) and the State Board of Licensed Professional Counselor Examiners.
  • Professional consultation — Our law firm supports mental health professionals through business, consultation and training services.
  • Education — We offer extensive training options to improve your skills, build your business and stay ahead of Colorado licensure requirements.

What you will find at Robert A. Lees & Associates is a law firm that is on the cutting edge of the mental health field. Our team takes pride in being on the front lines of the regulatory world. We study and understand the rules, laws, regulations, and policies so that we can provide you with superior protection. We are approved by almost all the major insurance panels, which allows us to defend you in any action brought against you.

We are not just a defensive measure, however. We want you to succeed. We want to see your practice grow and develop. We can consult with you and offer you proven strategies that will set your practice on a trajectory for growth.
