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:
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.

Best attorney client experience ever
We can't rate Jeff high enough. He was extremely patient in explaining how the entire estate planning works. We went in thinking we needed a trust but after Jeff quizzed us on our current situation/s he recommended a less expensive solution that met all our needs.
The kind words mean a lot! It was great working with you. Stay safe out there!
