How Rampart Injury Lawyers Turns Defense Motions Into Settlement Leverage with Supio & Westlaw Advantage

Rampart Injury Lawyers is a two-attorney operation with deep roots in Colorado. Todd Travis has practiced for 34 years; his son Jordan joined the firm straight out of law school six years ago. From offices in Englewood and Castle Rock, they handle auto, trucking, and motorcycle collisions alongside insurance bad faith claims—and they routinely sit across the table from defense teams with far more resources to throw at a case.

That mismatch shows up most in motions practice. When defense counsel files a Rule 702 motion to strike an expert, or builds a case theory on cherry-picked medical records, answering it the traditional way means days of legal research and drafting. And in Colorado's uneven tort landscape, where federal courts skew defense-oriented, and state outcomes depend on the county and the judge, every unanswered argument compounds.

The economics cut the same way. Insurers have little incentive to resolve cases when their counsel can keep billing.

Todd was previously reluctant to connect his legal research tools to anything. That changed at SupioSphere 2026, where a session at the learning lab showed him how Westlaw Advantage could work synergistically with Supio. The firm moved forward with the integration and put it straight to work on live disputes.

The first test was a defense Rule 702 motion to strike the firm's expert. Todd ran the motion through Supio, which used Westlaw Deep Research to do what would normally take days of research: it surfaced arguments and counterarguments, anticipated the defense's replies, and audited the case law the defense had cited—catching several cases where opposing counsel had over-reached or misapplied the holding.

"It highlighted arguments and counterarguments that were fantastic, with responses to counter the counterarguments as well. It reviewed the case law citations defense counsel included and pointed out several cases where they over-reached or misapplied the holding. Powerful stuff."

The integration also upgraded something Todd had spent three decades building: a research notebook of case law on improper deposition conduct. He loaded it into Supio, which cross-referenced it against Westlaw Deep Research reports—catching typos, fixing transposed citation numbers, and adding binding Colorado and 10th Circuit authority on every topic. Since returning from SupioSphere, Todd and Jordan have been feeding the firm's past work product and best practices into their knowledge base, so Supio can draft letters, motions, responses, and replies straight from the firm's own templates. The result, in Todd's words, isn't just a good first draft but a "GREAT first draft" that sounds like the firm wrote it.

The clearest proof came on a case stuck at a $19,000 initial offer. The client was adamant she didn't want to go to trial, so Todd asked Supio for tactical and strategic suggestions as if he were brainstorming with a senior litigation attorney. Supio returned suggestions, some of which were out-of-the-box.

"I used those suggestions on Tuesday, and today (Thursday) the case just settled. Settlement at the $75,000 level absolutely would not have happened without Supio," said Todd Travis. "Monetarily, it wasn't a big case, but the client is very pleased with the result; we saved a lot of additional costs and time and we have Supio to thank for that."

The gains extend well beyond any single case. The firm is settling more cases at policy limits than at any point in Todd's 34-year career and carrying less active litigation than ever because red-flag work happens upfront, patching holes in causation and treatment gaps before the defense can poke them. Detail work that once took four or five days now takes minutes, with more depth, and the hours returned have a value no individual metric covers.

"Supio has given Jordan more time to spend with his two young children and me more time to spend with my wife, which has an incalculable value."
