ABLAO LAW LLC TERESA ABLAO ATTORNEY AT LAW <br /> June 20, 2016 <br /> City of Louisville <br /> Attn: Meredyth Muth <br /> 745 Main Street <br /> Louisville, CO 80027 <br /> MeredythM@LouisvilleCO.gov <br /> Dear Ms. Muth: <br /> I was excited to the City's posting for the Municipal Judge position. I believe I am uniquely <br /> qualified to apply for the position and would serve the City well. I have been practicing law <br /> since 1988. I have been a prosecutor in District Court, County Court and Municipal Court and in <br /> my private practice, have been appointed as alternate defense counsel in various municipal courts <br /> in northern Colorado. I am currently working full-time as an assistant city attorney for the city of <br /> Loveland. My duties include legal advisor for police, fire,code enforcement, risk management <br /> (claims and litigation), municipal court and liquor authority prosecution, and drafting ordinances <br /> for city council. I also hold part-time positions with a number of municipalities as presiding <br /> judge (Wellington and Hudson), associate/relief judge (Fort Collins, Greeley and Windsor), and <br /> hearing officer for neighborhood services(Commerce City, Greeley and Fort Collins). I <br /> currently sit as the local liquor licensing authority for the town of Windsor and serve as the <br /> liquor and marijuana licensing authority for Commerce City. To keep abreast of changes and <br /> trends in municipal law I regularly attend conferences and seminars. I recently attended the <br /> Spring 2016 Colorado Municipal Judges' Association conference. <br /> I believe I am fair, even-handed and able to make consistent decisions based on facts and the <br /> law. I understand the necessity of allowing people the opportunity to present their side of an <br /> issue and the importance of making a good and complete record in the event of an appeal. <br /> I have attached my application for your consideration. I hope to bring my experience and skills <br /> to continue providing quality service to the citizens of Louisville. I look forward to hearing from <br /> you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Teresa"Tree"Ablao <br /> 2061 Shavano Pl., Loveland, CO 80538 (970) 420-2049 Treeab@gmail.com <br />
