Construction Law Representation

Coombe, Curry, Rich & Jarvis specializes in construction defect litigation and has been one of Colorado’s best construction law firms since its founding in 1984. Over the last three decades CCRJ (formerly known as Markusson, Green & Jarvis) has achieved significant and successful results in Colorado defending developers, general contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, product manufacturers, and other civil litigants in both trials and arbitrations. CCRJ has successfully defended construction professionals with potential exposure of high seven figures to low four figures, and every client receives the same CCRJ dedication to excellence in legal representation.

Outside of the courtroom, CCRJ can help you build solutions to the problems affecting your commercial, industrial or public development projects. From initial contract negotiation and bid preparation to project close-out and dispute resolution, CCRJ’s Construction Practice Group has handled every aspect of large-scale construction projects for businesses in Colorado. Our broad experience comes from our hands-on approach to managing both the business and legal challenges our clients face every day. We understand the sophisticated dynamics of the construction industry, and we deliver insightful, real-world solutions to our clients.

Areas of Expertise: 

Coombe Curry Rich & Jarvis is one of Colorado’s finest civil litigation firms. Complex construction defect litigation cases are often referred to our law firm by insurance carrier clients, and we are approved counsel or panel counsel for most large insurance companies. While specializing in Colorado, our practice area extends beyond state lines to Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, New York, and Wyoming. Our attorneys have also argued cases before numerous U.S. District Courts and U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal, as well as in the United States Court of Federal Claims.

The attorneys at CCRJ possess technical expertise about construction defects, including mold, foundation movement, building envelope, fenestrations, roofing, and grading and drainage issues. We are also knowledgeable about recent developments in Colorado law that affect construction defect litigation including the Colorado Construction Defect Reform Act (CDARA), the Homeowner Protection Act (HPA), and recent Colorado appellate court decisions. Our clients include real estate developers, builders, general contractors, subcontractors, construction product manufacturers, construction professionals, and their insurers in complex construction defect litigation. The cases we have successfully defended range from straight forward single family home claims to complicated litigation involving multibuilding condominiums and commercial properties.

By retaining an experienced CCRJ attorney to negotiate your construction contracts, you will prevent unnecessary stress, save time and money, protect you and your company from litigation pitfalls, and feel confident you have negotiated the most beneficial deal. We draft contracts for a wide variety of clients, including contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers.

A breached contract can cause havoc on your work-site. When it is in your best interest to solve a construction dispute outside the courtroom, our skilled attorneys can guide negotiations toward win-win solutions, often preserving business relationships and avoiding expenses and uncertainty associated with litigation. CCRJ has an excellent reputation with Colorado’s mediators and arbiters and can quickly and efficiently lead a case towards resolution.

"When our family faced issues of parenting time distribution and child support allocation, Jill Curry stepped in to help. Not only did she provide excellent legal counsel, she also brought real life wisdom in helping us embrace realistic expectations. And then, she fought for our child, advocating that his needs be heard and addressed - and won a judgment on his behalf. We are abundantly grateful."

She has given me peace of mind during incredible difficult times, because she clearly understands the law and uses it to make a strong defense. While court can be emotional, she keeps to the facts. She has provided me with good advice, informing me of all my options. I appreciate having her on my side."

"Our construction firm has been working with Dan Coombe since 2015. We’ve retained him on helping us resolve numerous consumer disputes and helping us run our day to day operations. He helped us implement our new employment contract which has probably saved us thousands of dollars already. Dan and his team always go above and beyond what you would expect any other lawyer to do. Whether it’s just sending out a letter on our behalf or taking something to trial, he puts forth 100% on everything we’ve ever asked of him. It’s been refreshing to work with an attorney of Dan’s caliber and we look forward to working with him for years to come."
