SGR, LLC (Senter Goldfarb & Rice, LLC)

In 1974, the founding partners set out to build a better law firm focused exclusively on the defense of civil claims and lawsuits that was dedicated and responsive to client needs, problem solving, efficiency and excellent results. Based on these ideals, SGR, LLC has been providing defense litigation services to the Colorado legal community since 1974.



Our civil litigation defense only practice emphasizes services to civil defendants, insured civil defendants, insurance carriers and self-insured entities and persons. The hallmarks of our practice are successful results, efficiency of effort and cost effectiveness. As a mid-size firm, we offer the resources and size necessary to respond to substantial, complex litigation while retaining the personal, responsible client contact associated with smaller firms.
