And though you will (hopefully) enjoy our company, we ensure a positive work-life balance with plenty of free time to spend with families, pets, hobbies, or simply in the Colorado mountains.

We have beautiful downtown offices with mountain views just 2 blocks from the courthouse, but are tech-savvy with all apps and client data in the cloud, so are comfortable working in the office or at home, and offer a hybrid office/home option.
