About Jeffrey
Biography
As an estate planning and probate attorney in Colorado, I help individuals and families plan the future so they can enjoy the present. By using various types of tools, I am able to help you live a better life today, allowing you to stop worrying about tomorrow. I can help with all of the following:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Guardianships
- Powers of attorney
- Living wills and more
I grew up in Iowa where I attended the University of Iowa as a Business/Marketing major and also obtained a certificate in Entrepreneurship. I am a Hawkeye, through and through. After undergrad, I went to law school in Minnesota at Hamline Law, graduated, and moved out to Thornton, Colorado.
In my spare time, I like to get out into the beautiful outdoors that Colorado has to offer. I ski, snowboard, hike and love to go camping and backpacking. I also love cheering on the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. I attend the Immaculate Heart of Mary church in Northglenn and have a deep appreciation for people of all faiths.

That there are people that you can trust in the legal system.
Mr. Althouse has made all the conference easy to understand and as a second language person and someone who doesn’t understand law, layers or legal documents, he became a trusted person. I would like to say THANK YOU for all your care. May God bless you and care for you as you have care for me
