Firm Overview
Experience
With over a combined century of practicing law predominantly in the Denver metropolitan area, the Wolf Slatkin & Madison attorneys have accumulated a wealth of experience in real estate, construction, corporate, trial, appellate and attorney ethics law.
Firm clients have included major area developers, investors, construction industry contractors, subcontractors, design professionals and a large variety of business organizations.
From start-ups to established businesses, the Wolf Slatkin & Madison attorneys have provided competent legal services to hundreds of satisfied clients. Their trial experiences range from a sterile bull case to decades of litigation over a Mexican Land Grant involving a 75-acre ranch in south central Colorado. Many of the area’s major construction industry members, investors, landlords and entrepreneurs have had their legal issues satisfactorily resolved by Wolf Slatkin & Madison attorneys.
Wolf Slatkin & Madison attorneys have “written the book” on Colorado mechanic’s lien and construction law. In one of their most recent cases they were successful, on behalf of an owner, to defeat a $300,000-plus mechanic’s lien of a subcontractor and had the court even determine that if that subcontractor’s lien had been valid, it came behind a bank’s deed of trust on the commercial property involved. In that case we were additionally able to have the subcontractors pay the owner’s attorney fees because of an excessive mechanic’s lien.
The firm lawyers have handled multi-million dollar land sales, development, financing and leasing transactions. In those cases, firm attorneys have utilized not only their transactional experience, but also their experiences in courtrooms and arbitrations with a view toward understanding, in their transactional work, how judges, juries or arbitrators might react to the language of the legal documents that they negotiate and draft.
Throughout the history of the firm, Wolf Slatkin & Madison attorneys have endeavored to represent their clients’ best interests in achieving their expectations as economically as reasonably possible. The firm takes great pride in the number of satisfied clients that its attorneys have represented for many years and in successive generations.
