Paul Gertz practiced law for 30 years in Texas before bringing his vast and successful experience to Western Colorado. Why did he do this? He wanted to practice law where experience counts and serve people who don't normally have access to lawyers with nationally recognized skills.

As an active member of his community, husband, father and grandfather, he realizes the importance of community values and wants to practice law where it will provide the most benefit. Residents in Western Colorado get hurt or cheated just like anywhere else, but now they have a Glenwood Springs Attorney tough enough to take on the big guys and win at their game.

Some of the highlights of Paul's successful career are:

AV rated by Martindale Hubbell Legal Directory
Selected as Texas Super Lawyer in the Civil Trial field by Texas Monthly Magazine, based on an Attorney Peer Survey

American Jurisprudence Award in Water Law

Board Certified Specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law for over 20 years until 2007

Trial of over 100 Cases to a Jury Verdict. Handled a large docket of diverse Trial and Appellate Cases for 32 Years, including:
Auto Accident, Medical Malpractice, Premises Liability, Products Liability, Wrongful Death, False Arrest, Defamation, Employment Law, Workers Compensation, Pharmaceutical Litigation, Construction Litigation, Contract Disputes ,Commercial Litigation, Antitrust, Class Actions, Land Litigation, Eminent Domain, Administrative Law, Injunctions ,Equitable Remedies, Business Disputes, Arbitrations and other Civil and Personal Injury cases.
