A consummate professional who delivers exceptional results

After a complex and contentious dispute with a former business partner over a commercial property development, our company was in need of a litigator with deep, substantive experience. Alan Sweetbaum was recommended to us, and from our first consultation, it was clear we were in the hands of a master. His 42 years of practice, particularly his focus on real estate and commercial litigation, provided a strategic depth that was immediately reassuring. He didn't just react to the opposing counsel's moves; he anticipated them and built a formidable case grounded in meticulous preparation. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Litigation - Real Estate was evident in every aspect of his work. Alan and his team at Sweetbaum Miller PC managed the case with a perfect blend of aggressive advocacy and pragmatic counsel, always keeping our business objectives at the forefront. The resolution he achieved was beyond our expectations, protecting our assets and allowing us to move forward. His professionalism, from his clear communication to his unwavering dedication, made an incredibly stressful situation manageable. For any serious legal matter in Denver, Alan D. Sweetbaum is the attorney you want on your side.
