Over his more than three decades of practice, David Japha has earned a reputation for resolving difficult and complex matters, sometimes being the second or third lawyer to take on a case. David has tried many criminal and civil cases to conclusion and argued numerous appeals, post-conviction cases and cases involving mental health issues. He also currently represents clients in federal and state administrative matters, including ongoing matters before the Consumer Products Safety Commission. David got his start in litigation before leaving the University of Denver College of Law, where he tried his first DUI case in state court through a program called the student law office. He also negotiated settlements and argued his first administrative appeal before the Social Security Administration in the winter of 1984, before his law school graduation in May of that year. Soon after starting out, David shared office space with his current partners, Don Jacobson and Daniel Levin at Ptarmigan Place. There he learned law office management hanging out his shingle and doing evictions, collections and court-appointed federal criminal cases. And, it was there, in federal court, that David truly cut his teeth in criminal defense litigation, culminating in his appointment to the Criminal Justice Act committee (which oversaw the appointment of conflict counsel in federal court) by then-Chief Judge Richard Matsch. Over 30 years of practice has given David the opportunity to be involved in some amazing cases, including taking depositions in Katmandu, Nepal in a complex criminal case in 1991; representing a witness in the trial of Timothy McVeigh (where David was also a credentialed reporter for the Intermountain Jewish News); handling criminal matters in Nebraska, Kansas and California and appearing in Washington State.

Meet Carolyn Duncan Committed to addressing the most pressing concerns of our clients, I recognized the need to concentrate my focus on the estate planning strategies. Helping people through their most complex and often emotional decisions, I bring together thoughtful strategic planning, extensive knowledge of the latest legal thinking and economic policies and the foresight I’ve developed in over two decades of practice. I understand the emotional toll major life decisions can take. When my husband of 17 years fell ill and passed away, I was left wrestling with many wrenching decisions and complex legal hurdles. And when my mother was diagnosed with dementia and needed to be moved into an assisted living facility, the decisions, and legal ramifications were huge—as were the potential costs. These difficult experiences have shaped my approach to estate planning and family law, and they powerfully reaffirmed my commitment to helping my clients through their complex legal challenges. Whatever your unique situation may be, I am dedicated to sharing my knowledgeable and trusted voice as a fiercely advocates for your interests. My approach is deeply human, designed to amicably resolve disagreements as a first option, reducing the stress and mitigating many emotional triggers that death, business dissolution, or other shift in family or financial dynamics can release. By planning strategically and helping to eliminate the unknown, I offer peace of mind, ensuring protections for your family and the knowledge that your legacy is being preserved according to your wishes.
