Hugh Boles
Attorney at Law

A native of Durango, Hugh Boles attended the University of Colorado at Boulder where he received his Bachelor’s degree in International Affairs with an emphasis on Latin America. After graduating from CU, Mr. Boles enrolled at Drake University Law School, in Des Moines, Iowa, where he earned his Juris Doctorate and received certificates in Constitutional law, Public Service, Litigation, and Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Mr. Boles takes immense pride in practicing law in his hometown and surrounding communities and has been practicing in the La Plata, Montezuma, and Archuleta County Courts since 2011. Throughout his time practicing law, Mr. Boles has primarily focused his practice on the areas of Domestic Relations, Estate Planning, and Civil Litigation. Prior to founding the Law Office of Cox and Boles, L.L.C., Mr. Boles was an associate attorney with the Bopp Reynolds Law Group from 2015-2017, and The Law Firm of Lisa Ward from 2011-2015. Mr. Boles further worked for the Durango law firm of Casey & Casey, LLC during the summer of 2009, specializing in Insurance Defense; and for the La Plata County District Attorney’s office in the summer of 2010 as a student attorney, prosecuting felony and misdemeanor criminal offenses. Throughout these varied experiences, Mr. Boles has obtained knowledge of the particular issues that must be carefully addressed and considered in trial practice, as well as the patience and foresight to utilize alternative dispute resolution to obtain amicable solutions when very emotionally taxing litigation is unnecessary.
