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.

He hit it out of the ballpark again!!
Jeff has helped us a few times with our wills and this week he once again assured us that we don't need to fret about Probate as he explained it so well. His attention to detail is incredible!! I would encourage anyone to contact him first about any legal need and I'll bet you'll look no further!! ...
