Tim Fox and Amy Robertson founded Fox & Robertson in 1996, combining their many years of litigation experience and their passion for civil rights. They started the firm out of their apartment, determined to devote their careers to civil rights and to wear suits to work as rarely as possible. When their filing system exceeded the size of their dining room table, they moved to a small office in downtown Denver. Since that time, the practice has grown steadily. In early 2000, the firm moved to larger quarters in an historic downtown building so old the windows actually open to the outside air.
About the Attorneys and Staff
Tim Fox received his law degree from Stanford Law School in 1991, where he was a member of the Stanford Law Review and president of his graduating class. After law school, he worked at the Washington, D.C. firm of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering where he met and married fellow-associate Amy Robertson. Later, after moving to Denver, Tim worked for Davis, Graham & Stubbs. In both firms, Tim worked on large- and small-scale litigation matters, including libel, personal injury, and complex commercial cases. Tim was profiled in the Denver Post in 1998 and was a contributor to Colorado Employment Law. He has spoken often on the ADA and employment discrimination. In 1986, Tim was injured playing rugby and has used a wheelchair for mobility since then.
Amy Robertson received her law degree from Yale Law School in 1988. At Yale, Amy was the Executive Editor of the Yale Journal of International Law and represented the school in the 1987 Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. She lived in Taiwan between college and law school and still speaks conversational Mandarin Chinese. Following law school, Amy clerked for the Hon. Richard L. Williams of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Prior to forming Fox & Robertson, Amy worked in the litigation departments of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering and Rothgerber, Appel, Powers & Johnson. In both firms, Amy worked on a variety of large and small matters, including securities, communications and complex commercial cases. While at Fox & Robertson, she has been a frequent speaker on the ADA and Fair Housing Act.
Tim and Amy were named "SuperLawyers" by 5280 Magazine in 2007, and Amy was named one of the ten most powerful lawyers in Denver in 2006 by the Denver Business Journal. After extensive research, they have concluded that, technically speaking, this plus $3.00 will buy them a cup of coffee.
Ashley Boothby is Fox & Robertson’s paralegal. She graduated summa cum laude from Scripps College in May of 2007, with a dual major in Political Science and American Studies. As a college student, she alternated between studying and civil rights activism, and spent a night in the Los Angeles South Central jail after being arrested in an act of civil disobedience to support hotel workers, who were fighting for a living wage. She was also an intern for The Newshour with Jim Lehrer and volunteered with Los Angeles Neighborhood Legal Services. Ashley is a proud Colorado native. We were very impressed with all of her accomplishments, so we were relieved that she satisfied the one ironclad prerequisite for employment at F&R: rabid Avalanche fandom.
Darryl Collins is Fox & Robertson's receptionist and office manager. Darryl is a current law student at the University of Denver. Darryl grew up in New York City and attended college in Buffalo, New York. Following college, Darryl was deployed overseas with the United States Army from 2003 - 2004 and 2005 - 2006. He spent the summer of 2007 as an intern for the Judge Advocate General in Buffalo, NY. F&R is especially glad to have someone in the office who has thought about torts within the past ten years.
