Fred Baumann (right)of Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons and a former Legal Aid Foundation Chair received an award for his longstanding individual commitment to Legal Aid.
Dedicated in memory of
Donald W. HoaglandAugust 16, 1921 – May 5, 2012
Mission StatementThe Legal Aid Foundation of Colorado
promotes equal access to justice by raising funds to provide civil legal services for low-
income people in the state of Colorado.
Over the course of the last twelve months, the lives of thousands of Coloradans have been changed. Some are finally free from physical abuse or financial exploitation. Others no longer face the threat of homelessness. Still others now have access to desperately needed medical care or disability benefits.
All, thanks to you, are in a better position to resume healthy, productive lives because they received the legal assistance they needed at a critical moment. Which brings us back to the subject of heroes.
This year alone, notwithstanding a still-anemic economic recovery and shifting sands in the legal profession, you contributed a total of $1.4 million to Legal Aid. You’re the heroes of our story.
Your gifts mean that fewer Coloradans are unfairly denied the rights, remedies, and protections afforded by the law.
Your gifts mean that fewer legal problems for some of us become social problems for all of us.
Your gifts breathe life into our pledge of “justice for all,” and protect the rule of law, upon which our nation’s health and prosperity depends.
Thank you for being our heroes. Thank you for your continued support.
Celebrating Your SupportThank you to all who gathered on September 15, 2011, at the Carriage House of the Governor’s Mansion to celebrate 30 years of outstanding support for Legal Aid from the Colorado legal community.
“Whatever the theater may be that you choose to perform in be aware of what you could do and what is at stake. Join the hopeful and walk on by the others. Make a difference. And enjoy yourselves.”
— Don Hoagland, July 20, 1990
Every good story has a hero. And ours is no exception.
Don was a longtime partner at the
Denver law firm of Davis Graham
& Stubbs. He worked tirelessly
throughout his legal career to improve
access to civil justice in Colorado. He
was the founding Chair, as well as
a lifelong and legacy supporter of
the Legal Aid Foundation. He also
championed pro bono service as an
opportunity to serve your community,
but also a responsibility of the
profession and a means of developing
better lawyers.

“I have always committed myself to the cause of those who are less fortunate.”
— Dorothy Hervey, who has been a legal aid paralegal for 43 years.
Your donation to the Legal Aid Foundation supports Colorado Legal Services (CLS), which is
the only agency in the state that provides free civil legal services to indigent clients in every
Colorado county.
Priority is given to addressing legal issues that threaten the basic necessities of a decent life,
including at least minimally adequate income, food, shelter, utilities and medical care, freedom
from domestic violence and abuse, and the protection of individual rights of the elderly and those
who are physically and mentally disabled.
With few exceptions, those served live at or below 125% of the federal poverty guidelines. The
most recent Census Bureau survey indicates that there are now more than 880,000 Coloradans
who are income-eligible for legal aid.
In 2011, Colorado Legal Services directly served 11,534 low-income clients, but it stretched its
limited resources with technology, pro se materials, self help programs, clinics, and pro bono
programs to provide assistance to many more.

assistance continues to grow, while CLS has experienced funding cuts of over $2.5 million
in the last three years. By way of example:

The CLS website provides basic legal
information online for anyone who has
access to a computer. The website had
over 94,000 unique visitors in 2011.

Online “LiveChat” services are provided
every Wednesday by CLS staff and
volunteer lawyers for veterans, service
members, and their families.
The CLS website allows self represented

The Legal Aid Foundation enjoys strong institutional support from Colorado law firms. A shining
example of that is Otten Johnson Robinson Neff + Ragonetti, where the commitment to equal
justice runs all the way from the firm’s leadership to it summer associates.
Otten Johnson is one of the Foundation’s longstanding Leadership Firms, contributing every
year at, and frequently above, our target giving level. This year the firm was also one of the
underwriters of our Incentive Fund, which matched new donations dollar for dollar. In addition
to its strong financial support, Otten Johnson has provided outstanding leadership over the years
at every level of our organization, from the Board of Trustees to our Campaign Committees. All
this is to say nothing about the financial support we receive from individual lawyers at the firm,
including the firm’s associates, who have consistently achieved 100% participation in our annual
Associates Campaign.
“Providing necessary legal assistance to those who would otherwise be unable to obtain it has always been a central tenant of Otten Johnson’s philosophy. The Firm considers its annual contribution to the Legal Aid Foundation to be a key piece of granting such assistance — the Foundation’s mission and the Firm’s goals are perfectly aligned.”
— Jim Johnson, Otten Johnson Managing Partner
Clockwise from top left: Jim Johnson, Otten Johnson Managing Partner; Bill Neff, Partner and former LAF Trustee; Alix Wengert-Lasalle, Summer Associate; Brad Schacht, Partner and current LAF Trustee; Dimitri Adloff, Associate and LAF Associates Campaign Representative; and Julie Gifford, Partner and LAF Law Firm Campaign Committee Member.
“After working in the student clinic last year, I truly understand the sheer volume of underrepresented, and legal aid is on the front line of serving that vulnerable population. You can count on my support in the years to come.”
— Alix Wengert-Lasalle, Otten Johnson Summer Associate
and 3L at Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver
Special ThanksThank you to the 225 law firms that contributed to this year’s Campaign. A special thank you to the 120 law firms that contributed at the leadership level of $350 per Colorado lawyer in the firm.
