About Mac Hester
.jpg)
I am a lawyer in Fort Collins, Colorado and Of Counsel to Ring & Associates, P.C., a plaintiff's personal injury, workers compensation, Social Security Disability, and business litigation firm. I practice primarily in Northern Colorado: Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Wellington, Greeley, Brighton, Boulder, Louisville, Longmont, Estes Park, Thornton, Wheat Ridge, Northglenn, Aurora, Arvada, and Denver.
I grew up on a farm in South Carolina, graduated from Clemson University (played football there too), earned my law degree from the University of South Carolina in 1986, and practiced in South Carolina for three years. I moved to Colorado in 1989.
I moved to Colorado so I could rock climb every day. After several months of climbing, I went back to lawyering. I still climb occasionally.
Teaching and writing have been big parts of my life. I taught law at CSU for several years as an adjunct instructor and I have published academic articles, legal practice articles, and climbing stories. I am the co-editor of the Auto Litigation section of Trial Talk magazine published by the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association.
I do presentations at Continuing Legal Education seminars. My teaching emphases are Colorado injury law, power, persuasion, strategy, and storytelling.
I have tried personal injury, divorce, and commercial cases in South Carolina and Colorado. I have handled appeals to the South Carolina and to the Colorado Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court.
My mission is to make the world a better place for people in need of legal services. I do this directly by serving my clients well and indirectly by helping other lawyers serve their clients well.
