About David
Biography
I specialize in legal planning for Colorado families, including wills and trusts, probate and estate administration, asset protection, llc formation, and residential real estate law. I am a Colorado native (since the age of 4 anyway). I am a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder School of Law. In my free time, I like to spend time in the outdoors skiing, fly fishing, biking and hiking with my wife, two children and dog.
