Attorney Profile for the Law Offices of Paul Gertz, P.C.
Paul Gertz - Principal
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 lawyer tough enough to take on the big guys and win at their game.
