Jay Cranmer

As a litigator serving clients in complex civil litigation for more than two decades and a part-time judge, I’ve learned that effective representation requires careful preparation and a mindful approach to clients and tribunals. Having first-chaired and presided over eighty trials, I understand the strain litigation places on clients and the court system. In the process of advocating for my clients, my goal is to be helpful and simplify the issues for judges and other decision-makers. I believe this approach is fundamental to creating a relationship of trust and winning outcomes.

Like Colin and Emily, I share the belief that open client-centered relationships, innovation, and efficiency are imperative. The trademarks of my legal practice and client relationships have always been to be approachable and to translate the complexities of the law into understandable and straight-forward business-oriented solutions. I am thrilled to join Ascent because the firm credo matches my practice and style perfectly – a law firm that truly listens to clients and prides itself on being their trusted business partners.

When not working for our clients, odds are good you’ll find me with my ever-present silver lab Lucy, probably hiking, skiing or otherwise exploring the mountains. I’ve also been spotted (quite regularly) cheering for my Denver Broncos and Kansas Jayhawks. More recently, I’ve found myself traveling the world in search of unique food, concerts, and new experiences.
