January 17, 2018 - Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is pleased to announce 29 of its attorneys were selected by  *5280 Magazine*for its list of Denver's Top Lawyers 2018. In its fourth year,  *5280 *publishes the annual list with selections based on votes from fellow attorneys in the seven-county Denver metro area across 50 specific practices. The survey went live in May and more than 16,000 licensed lawyers in Denver and the surrounding suburbs were invited to participate based on registration data with the Colorado Supreme Court’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. The magazine also sought input from local bar associations for peer-reviewed ballots. The following 29 attorneys at the firm were chosen based on survey responses and follow-up reporting from the magazine:
