Title of form
Each service below is a documented stage in the life of a request. You can ask us to carry a file from end to end, or pick up one you have already started and are stuck with. Every engagement ends in writing: a request that can be answered, a receipt, a log entry or a plain-language note.
Form S-01 · Drafting
Requests written to be answerable: the records described, the period covered, the format asked for and the statutory reference cited. A vague request invites a vague refusal; a precise one is hard to bounce back.
Form S-02 · Filing
Submitted to the correct custodian through the channel that office actually monitors, with proof of delivery kept. Filing starts the statutory clock, so the date and channel are recorded in the file.
Form S-03 · Tracking
The response clock recorded for every request, with reminders before a custodian goes quiet. You always know which day the agency is on, and which day its answer became late.
Form S-04 · Escalation
What a denial or a non-response allows you to do next, and what that route usually requires, explained in plain language. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice; where an attorney is needed, we say so.
Form S-05 · Review
A plain-language review of what was withheld and which exemption was cited, line by line, so you can decide whether to push back. We report what the agency says; we do not interpret it as lawyers would.
Form S-06 · Research
Where an agency publishes a log of past requests, we search it to see whether someone has already asked for what you want, and what they received. It often saves everyone a second round.
Drafting, filing, waiting, reading what arrives. There is no mystery to it, which is exactly why it works.
Colorado public records and federal FOIA, with other state open records laws taken on request. If the custodian is in another state, we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people to ask it.
Journalists, researchers, advocacy groups, small businesses and residents who want to see what their government holds. The right to a public record does not depend on who is asking, and neither does our work.
Standing note: Open Records Request is not a law firm and gives no legal advice. Nothing in this schedule creates an attorney-client relationship.
