My firm offers innovative legal services plans to small and growing Colorado businesses that feature affordable, fixed monthly fees for business transactions, employee issues, contracts, and other legal services needed to solve day-to-day problems. Our LegalPlans can be tailored to your needs. We also provide traditional legal services, including litigation, significant business transactions, and tax representation at competitive hourly rates and fixed fees. Over my 30+year career, I have represented hundreds of small businesses and their owners on business, customer, employee, tax, and real estate matters and in business and real estate litigation.
I earned my law degree, practiced law at a large Washington, D.C. firm, then joined a federal banking agency as a trial attorney and assistant general counsel. My early years as a Washington, D.C. lawyer gave me an insider's view of bank regulatory compliance and administrative agency litigation and introduced me to antitrust, oil and gas price control, banking, and real estate litigation, which I later was able to use to advantage in representing business clients. When I moved to Colorado, I returned to private practice at "downtown" law firms. Since 1994, I have enjoyed my own law practices in the south metro Denver area.

I first went to Underhill & Underhill, P.C. for help with an IRS tax problem several years ago. Joanne Underhill was knowledgeable about the IRS and my options and she went "above and beyond" to resolve my issue in a way I could afford. The firm was very fair on its pricing. I was completely satis...
