Jean has been practicing law since 1983 and enjoys the challenge and especially the people involved in each case – both her clients and opposing counsel. She entered the legal profession to help others and solve problems. Jean’s ideals, while often tested, remain the same: helping individuals in their businesses, big and small, and in their personal lives, communicate better and solve legal issues in creative ways. Sometimes solutions are found by going to Court or Arbitration, but more often, deals are made and creative legal solutions are constructed in a way that brings closure, resolution and satisfaction.
Jean enjoys singing, piano, hiking, golfing, swimming, skiing, reading and yoga. She is a certified lay speaker in the United Methodist Church. She and Rich have two children, Allan (a C.U. graduate) and Sierra (Purdue University Graduate). They are both active in music, mission and outreach through Green Mountain United Methodist Church, pro bono legal services for Denver Urban Ministries as well as Metro Volunteer Lawyers. Jean is also a co-garden leader for the Cedarhill Community Garden, part of the Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) garden network. She is on the board for the American Society of Professional Estimators and an Adjunct Professor at Red Rocks Community College teaching business law and real estate.
