Jon R. Schumacher

Jon grew up in Edina, Minnesota before heading off to Ft. Collins, Colorado to obtain his B.S. degree at Colorado State University in 1990. Jon returned to the Midwest for law school and received his J.D. at the University of North Dakota in 1994. Following graduation from law school, Jon moved to Denver to take the bar examination and was thereafter admitted to the Colorado Bar.

Initially, Jon worked for a small personal injury firm in Denver before starting his own practice with two other lawyers in 1997. After several years in a busy trial practice, Jon moved to the Gunnison Valley in 2003 to attempt to integrate fishing into his daily life. He is still working toward this goal.

Jon’s practice focuses on civil litigation, personal injury, real estate/HOA representation, construction defect litigation, and criminal defense. He has actively litigated cases and done numerous jury trials in the Denver metro area and in the Gunnison Valley. Jon is a member of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, the Colorado Bar Association, and the 7th Judicial District Bar Association.

Jon has been actively involved in nonprofit work since moving to the Gunnison Valley in 2003. He is a proud supporter of mentoring and the Arts. Jon was formerly President of both the Board of Directors of Gunnison Country Mentors and the Gunnison Council for the Arts. In addition to non-profit work, Jon is a reserve board member for the Gunnison Bank and Trust and on the board of the Dos Rios Golf Club.

Jon loves spending time with his two kids. He also enjoys golfing, fishing, camping, and hockey.

Born and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, Michael obtained a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Vermont and went on to attend the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law where he received his law degree in 2006. Michael’s main areas of legal practice focus on real estate, HOA law, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, business entity representation, construction and development, and local government law. Michael’s local government experience includes his service as the County Attorney for Hinsdale County, Colorado (2011 – present) and Mineral County, Colorado (2025-present). In addition, Michael represents dozens of homeowners’ associations and other business entities throughout the Gunnison Valley.

Michael has represented Hinsdale County in property tax matters and has appeared before the Colorado Supreme Court, where he prevailed in HDH Partnership, et al. v.
