01 — About DenverFirm
Not a mill. A mission.
Denver roots, national firepower.
Founded in 1998 on 17th Street, DenverFirm.net grew from two litigators to 34 attorneys serving all of Colorado. We combine boutique attention with big-firm muscle.
We live where you work — Capitol Hill to Cherry Creek, Boulder to DTC.
Denver is booming — and legal risk grows with it. Construction defects on new builds, I-25 pileups, startup equity fights, HOA battles, oil & gas leases. Our attorneys have argued in Denver District Court, Colorado Court of Appeals, 10th Circuit and before the Colorado Supreme Court.

Generally 3 years for auto accidents, 2 years for other injury, 6 years for written contracts. Don't wait — evidence on I-70 cameras disappears in days.
