Evan S. Lipstein has practiced law in the Denver area since 1974.

With a professional degree in architecture, three decades in the courts, and six years of experience as a planning commissioner, Evan's background is especially valuable to clients with legal issues involving construction, real estate and land use issues.

Plus, Evan also has significant experience in employment, personal injury, and professional liability cases. He regularly serves as an arbitrator and as a "special master"appointed by the courts, which has given him an even broader perspective of the types of issues there are--and how they can be resolved.

Evan also regularly attends legal seminars to keep him on the cutting edge of legal practices.
