Douglas R. Griess, Esq.

Mr. Griess graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in 2003 and immediately moved to Denver, Colorado with his family, to be near extended family, and to begin his legal practice as a civil litigator under the tutelage of Robert M.

Industries in which he has specific experience include insurance, web based business, construction, real estate development, independent contractors, and creative professionals.

But more than this, Mr. Griess makes the effort to establish a profound relationship with clients which is centered on integrity, responsiveness, and insight. Mr. Griess strives to match his quality of services with quality of relationship.  Mr. Griess’s vision is to build others up with wisdom and integrity.
