DENVER â The courts have decided twice that a Colorado tow company had stepped over the line, but the agency responsible for regulating tow companies saw it differently.
Earlier this year, a Denver judge ruled that Dene Attaway s car was illegally towed from her apartment complex, and an appeals court judge upheld the decision this month. I am so happy, so relieved, Attaway said. Justice was served, and I appreciate you guys stepping in.
Attaway got her car back, and is now hoping she can get the money a judge ruled she is owed.
