Four Keating Wagner Attorneys Win 5280 Awards for 2023

Keating Wagner Polidori Free is proud to announce that four of our award-winning attorneys have been selected as 5280’s Top Lawyers for 2023.

About 5280 Magazine’s Top Lawyers List

5280 Magazine’s annual Denver’s Top Lawyers List recognizes attorneys that are the best in the region. For their ninth annual Top Lawyers 2023 list, 5280 Magazine considered thousands of licensed attorneys for this distinction. Still, they recognized just over 500 attorneys in 50 legal specialties with input from the Colorado Bar Association (CBA), local attorneys, and area law firms. Their selection process includes reviewing peer ballots from other licensed peer attorneys, followed by interviews, and independent research, which includes many phone calls and hours of mining the internet for cases and legal work that stood out.

5280 Magazine reaches out to over 17,700 licensed attorneys actively registered with the Colorado Supreme Court’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel and local bar associations to ensure they receive a robust response to the peer-reviewed ballot. At the time of recognition, all attorneys listed are in good standing with the State of Colorado. It’s also important to note that The Top Lawyers list is unaffected by which attorneys advertise with 5280.
