What Coombe Curry Rich & Jarvis does

Coombe Curry Rich & Jarvis (CCRJ) is a Denver-based, full-service civil law firm organized as a general partnership, operating from 2000 S Colorado Blvd, Tower 2, Suite 1050. Founded in 2014 as a continuation of Markusson, Green & Jarvis (established 1984), the firm employs 13 attorneys and 6 support staff, with partners including Daniel Robert Coombe, Jill A. Curry-Jahn, Gregg Rich, Anne K. McMichael, and Robb Schroer. Its practice spans seven core areas: Appellate Law, Business Law, Insurance Defense, Family Law, Estate Planning, Probate, and Construction Law, serving both business and individual clients across Colorado and admitted to practice in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Texas, New York, and federal courts including the U.S. Supreme Court.

The firm generates revenue through traditional hourly and fee-based legal services with three retention models: full representation using a team approach to control costs, unbundled services with reduced retainers for self-directed clients, and reduced-rate initial consultations. CCRJ is approved or panel counsel for seven named major insurance carriers, including Nationwide, Travelers, Hanover, AIG, PURE, ProSight, and Atain, and serves construction industry clients (subcontractors, home builders, roofers) through deep technical expertise in construction defect litigation, Colorado's CDARA statute, and the Homeowners Protection Act. The go-to-market motion is relationship-driven: face-to-face service, peer referrals, community involvement (Colorado Roofers Association, Colorado Home Builders Association), and earned-media credibility through Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, and Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent ratings.

Technology is limited to standard legal practice management and case management tools; no proprietary technology platform, API, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Distribution occurs through direct client engagement, insurance carrier panel relationships, and professional referral networks, with the firm explicitly describing its motion as sales-led and community-led. The firm is privately held with no parent company, institutional investors, external funding, or public disclosures of financial performance.
