Nelson Boyle serves as Senior Counsel at Singleton Schreiber's Denver, Colorado office, where his practice spans civil rights, personal injury, insurance recovery and bad faith, class actions, mass torts, sexual assault and human trafficking, wrongful death, trucking accidents, and motions, writs, and appeals. A Colorado native, Mr. Boyle brings nearly 20 years of litigation experience fighting for plaintiffs in Colorado's state and federal trial and appellate courts.

Mr. Boyle is widely recognized for his appellate acumen, having handled matters as both merits and amicus curiae counsel that have resulted in published opinions addressing insurance bad faith, the Colorado Governmental Immunity and Premises Liability Acts, pleading standards, and other significant legal issues. His appellate work has spanned an exceptionally broad range of matters, including personal injury, civil rights, premises liability, child sexual abuse, medical and legal malpractice, class actions, and criminal appeals. Mr. Boyle has also served as a trusted resource for trial counsel, assisting with civil discovery, motions practice, jury trial preparation, and the preservation of appellate issues, including drafting targeted trial briefs and advocating for fair and accurate jury instructions.

Mr. Boyle earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, a Master of Arts in American History from New Mexico State University, and a Bachelor of Arts from Temple University. He is admitted to practice before the Colorado Supreme Court, the Colorado Court of Appeals, Colorado trial courts, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, the United States Tenth and Eighth Circuit Courts of Appeals, the United States Court of Federal Claims, and the United States Supreme Court.

Mr. Boyle's commitment to the legal community extends well beyond the courtroom. The Colorado Trial Lawyers Association (CTLA) honored him with its 2012 New Trial Lawyer of the Year award and its 2016 Outstanding Service to CTLA award, recognizing his dedication to consumer and plaintiff advocacy and his leadership within the organization. He currently serves as a Trustee for the Colorado Legal Aid Foundation, as Chair Emeritus of CTLA's Amicus Curiae Committee, and as a volunteer member on the Amicus Curiae Committees of CTLA, the American Association for Justice (AAJ), and the Colorado Bar Association (CBA). He has previously served as a Commissioner and Chair of Colorado's Second Judicial District Judicial Performance Commission, on the CTLA Board, as an AAJ Governor, and on AAJ's New Trial Lawyers Board. He has also been recognized by Best Lawyers in America, Colorado Super Lawyers, Avvo, and Marquis Who's Who.

Outside the office, Mr. Boyle keeps active by skiing, hiking, traveling, and camping with his family. He and his wife have backpacked in the Grand Canyon, including a single-day rim-to-rim traverse, ascended Yosemite's Half Dome, and have set their sights on completing the Colorado, Arizona, Northern Colorado, and Santa Fe to Taos trails in segments over the coming years.
