OUR PEOPLE, OUR GREATEST ASSET
Our diverse, experienced attorneys and supporting staff have remained at the heart of our business for over 80 years. Together, they form a close-knit team that’s driven by their passion for the law and making a difference in their clients’ lives and the surrounding community.
UPHOLDING A TRADITION OF SOPHISTICATION AND INSIGHT
Throughout the years, our people have developed their own brand of legal service that distinguishes them from all other law firms in the Rocky Mountain region. Every day we strive to uphold the values and principles our firm was founded on in the 1920s, while increasing our level of innovation and sophistication with every passing year. That knowledge and history, coupled with the deep insight we have of our clients’ unique needs, is how Ireland Stapleton continually sets itself apart from competitors.
Each Ireland Stapleton attorney has one goal: serving the client’s need. We practice law because it is a passion and a calling. We like our clients—some who have been with us for decades—and we respect their desires, values, and goals. We are a team and we work together because we like one another and we enjoy our work.
