Geoff Anderson has been solving legal problems since 1986. That year he began his practice at Katch, Anderson and Wasserman where, among many other duties, he acted as a bankruptcy trustee for Chapter 7 cases. He also worked on bankruptcy matters on behalf of both debtors and creditors. Another significant practice area at that time was foreclosures. In 1988, he returned to Burns and Figa, where he had clerked during law school, and has been here ever since.
Mr. Anderson has represented clients throughout the State of Colorado in a wide array of issues including real estate and commercial matters. Litigation matters have included construction defect and mechanics lien litigation, real estate title issues, title insurance matters, mined land reclamation issues, and enforcement of security interests, among others. Mr. Anderson also represents buyers, sellers and lenders in real estate transactions, sometimes in conjunction with the environmental department at Burns, Figa and Will.
A particular area of emphasis in Mr. Andersons practice is road and access law. With the changing land use patterns in Colorado brought about by growth and an interest by many people to buy mountain properties, disputes over access across both public and private properties have become quite common. Mr. Anderson has litigated many of these cases in Federal Court in Denver as well as in state courts throughout Colorado. He has also lectured on road law in continuing legal education courses.
Mr. Anderson is admitted to practice in the state courts in the State of Colorado, U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition to litigating and trying cases in state court and Federal Court, Mr. Anderson has handled appeals before the Colorado Supreme Court, the Colorado Court of Appeals and the Tenth Circuit. He also has extensive experience with arbitration and mediation as well as representing clients against a wide variety of governmental agencies, both in court and in administrative proceedings.
Mr. Anderson moved to Colorado when he was two years old and grew up in Fort Collins. He moved to Denver in 1982 to attend law school and currently resides in Littleton with his wife and two children. He is a volunteer at public radio station KUVO, 89.3 FM where he is an announcer on a jazz shift from 7 to 10 pm Tuesdays.
