Best Lawyers-designated “metro areas” in this publication. In order to collect feedback on firm and attorney work within specific regions, Best Lawyers curates “metro areas.” For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions—metro areas—to help us collect as much feedback and data for specific individuals, firms, and practice areas as possible. We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.

ince 2004, Jennifer Arnett has devoted her career to adequately guiding and representing her clients through complex legal issues, primarily focusing her practice area on matters of insurance law. In 2021, Arnett acted as one of several founding members of Arnett Litigation, LLC and currently works at the Boulder-based firm. Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2020, Arnett is currently being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Insurance Law in Boulder for 2024. Of her legal career and recent recognition, Arnett stated: “Receiving the ‘Lawyer of the Year’ designation is such an honor. I suspect that a contributing factor was a pair of decisions that were issued in cases I recently won last year. Those decisions have helped develop Colorado’s particular approach to insurance coverage for construction defect matters.” “Insurance coverage work provides an intellectual challenge that I very much enjoy. Each policy plus endorsements is like a complex puzzle. In addition, every day is different. No matter how well I think I might know a particular type of insurance policy, each new matter brings a different angle and changes the way the coverage puzzle is put together. There can be a disconnect between what insurance policies provide and what the expectations are of insureds and their brokers. Bridging this gap in a way that protects both the insurer and the insured can prove challenging.” With 20 years of legal experience under her belt, Arnett primarily focuses her efforts toward construction defect matters, the outdoor recreation industry and insurance coverage, as previously stated. Additionally, Arnett has also dedicated some professional time to educating, previously serving as a Lecturer-in-Law at her alma mater, Columbia Law School. “In my opinion, all good attorneys have to be well prepared and produce excellent work and legal materials. That should go without saying. A quoteon-quote ‘great’ attorney also knows how to listen to the client, but also how to provide solid advice to the client. With respect to listening, what is the client’s concern, and what is the desired result? With respect to providing advice, a great attorney has to be able to do this honestly, even if the client doesn’t hear what he or she wants to hear. What are the pros of your case, and what are the cons? How can the cons either be overcome, or how can we work with those to achieve the desired result? What are the risks of different courses of action? In the end, a great attorney is one who the client knows will be well prepared, will produce excellent work and who the client can trust to give solid advice, good or bad.”

The Immeasurable Impact of Advocacy Burg Simpson founder Michael S. Burg discusses how the firm’s results transcend the courtroom to improve safety and life for consumers and professionals nationwide. By Justin Smulison

urg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, PC is driven by a passionate belief in the law and the impact it can make when properly applied. Formed in 1976 in Denver, Colorado, Burg Simpson has since expanded to 62 lawyers and 200 staff in seven offices spanning six states. This national presence has uniquely positioned the firm at the forefront of civil law in the U.S. and has earned Burg Simpson a reputation for unparalleled advocacy in all areas of catastrophic injury and wrongful death. This includes class actions, product liability, construction defects, birth injuries and medical malpractice, as well as personal injury and commercial litigation. The trial law firm has secured more than $2 billion over its 45-year history, and with several far-reaching cases in progress, it will continue its tradition of excellence in 2024. “We are proud to be lead and co-counsel in major nationwide trials and actions,” said founder Michael S. Burg. “Our mission is to achieve high-value results that will further protect the public and also maintain the integrity of the legal profession.” Ohio Trail Derailment – Class Action Burg Simpson’s Ohio office has been crucial for those affected by the freight train derailment that occurred on February 3, 2023. In that accident, 38 Norfolk Southern train cars transporting hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. Several cars burned for more than two days, and the release of various chemicals and pollutants into the air and ground forced nearby residents to evacuate. A class action was filed by residents against Norfolk Southern, and a federal judge appointed firm shareholder Seth A. Katz as a co-lead attorney for the dozens of law firms and several hundred plaintiffs for that action. In addition to seeking maximum compensation for physical and real damages, Katz and his team are monitoring

the long-term health of the affected residents since cancers and similar fatal diseases can take years to detect and be traced back to the derailment. “The public can be preyed on by lawyers who don’t have the capability to handle cases of great complexity,” said Burg, who has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® annually since 2007 for Mass Tort Litigation / Class Action - Plaintiffs, and who received the Colorado Trial Lawyer Association’s Norman Kripke Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022. “Injured victims and their families need real trial lawyers who can make a difference and who are willing to take cases to trial and to fight for the rights of their clients.” Body Broker Case The “Body Broker Case” was an example of Burg Simpson’s ability to fight over the long haul for clients at the intersection of science, ethics and the law. In November 2019, the firm secured $58.5 million in compensatory and punitive damages for families who had donated the bodies of their deceased loved ones to Steve Gore and the companies he worked for, including Biological Resource Center (BRC) and Platinum Training, LLC. “The jury verdict was one of the largest civil verdicts in Arizona history and shuttered the defendant company,” Burg said. “The case also put a spotlight on the importance of treating donated bodies with dignity and respect.” After the initial jury verdict, the trial court ruled that the punitive damages award was constitutionally excessive, reducing it to $8.5 million (for a total of $17 million). But the Burg Simpson trial team appealed on behalf of the Donor families, and ultimately, the court ruled in favor of the Donor Families and ordered the trial court to reinstate the original judgment of $58.5 million. Burg Simpson is now litigating a bad faith case in federal court against BRC’s
insurance company to further ensure justice is served. Construction Defect Burg Simpson’s Florida office opened in 2020 to ser ve as a beacon for consumer a d vo c a c y, p a r t i c u l a r l y i n t h e a re a o f construction defects. COVID-19 caused an interruption in many construction projects. Once they resumed, they were often hurried to completion, so the work was inefficient and, in many cases, dangerous. The firm now handles some of the largest condominium defect claims in Florida on behalf of owners and homeowner associations. “ There is s t ill some at tempt to limi t construction defect claims in the state as developers try to insulate themselves from liability,” Burg noted. “Many of the entities selling these properties and homes have no assets, so we must first pierce the corporate veil in order to hold the right parties accountable.” Taking On Terrorism Burg Simpson is also honored to be part of a consortium of law firms representing 3,500 Iraqi War veterans and Gold Star families in a civil lawsuit against seven EU banks. Filed under the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), the suit requests damages, charging that the banks are responsible for various shootings and roadside bombings because they processed Iranian money that paid for the attacks between 2003 and 2011. The banks previously admitted wrongdoing and agreed to $3.2 billion in payouts to the U.S. government in exchange for delayed prosecution for violating sanctions against Iran and other countries. But Burg noted that veterans and their families are still enduring the physical and emotional harm suffered from the attacks, which are only being intensified by tie-ups in court. “We are proud to fight for our veterans,” Burg said. “As we inch toward a fair resolution, we need

Colorado Attorney General Calls For Cannabis Reclassification
O
n January 12, 2024, Colorado State Attorney General Phil Weiser, in addition to a steadily growing list of attorney generals from a dozen other states, sent a letter to the federal government requesting that cannabis be reduced from a Schedule I narcotic to a Schedule III controlled substance. The letter, which was directly addressed to U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Administrator Anne Milgram, was quick to highlight a greater need for regulatory uniformity in regard to the highly profitable drug nationwide. Additionally, the letter went on to express that with a greater sense of legal oversight, states would finally be allowed to introduce legal cannabis businesses and begin accumulating revenue from consumers’ sales tax. The revenue in question could go on to be utilized for any number of public sector needs, from improved health and safety measures and educational funding to further research into the drug’s societal, financial and biological impact. On the flip side, the group also adamantly stated that this legislative change in cannabis’ legal status would effectively eliminate the drug’s unlawful and unmonitored consumption. “A state-regulated cannabis industry better protects consumers than the illicit marijuana market or the unregulated intoxicating hemp-derived marketplace. It is critical to acknowledge that use of cannabis, especially among youth, still incurs health and safety risks. Our regulatory regimes have sought to balance the mandate to create as safe a framework as possible with the reality of these risks. Juxtaposed against the dangers of the illicit

market and unregulated hemp-derived cannabinoids, moreover, we believe that there is a public health and safety mandate to protect the state-regulated industry by rescheduling cannabis to schedule III,” the letter explains, as originally reported by the New York Times. According to the Colorado Department of Revenue, since legalization was enacted in 2014, the cannabis industry has generated roughly $15 billion in regulated recreational sales. Those sales, which would peak in 2021, brought in more than $2.6 billion in consumer sales tax over the same period of time. “Colorado is committed to protecting the integrity of its first-in-the-nation regulated cannabis market. We recognize that there are health and safety risks raised by the use of cannabis, and we must continue to take them seriously and address them. We also are confident that a well-regulated market for cannabis products best protects consumers, and this action of rescheduling cannabis will better enable the market to function,” stated Weiser in a recent press release posted on the Colorado Attorney General’s website. As of right now, attorneys general from California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Rhode Island have all openly endorsed Weiser’s efforts toward a reduction in cannabis’ current substance category. That said, the DEA who currently defines a Schedule I narcotic as those “with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse,” has yet to release any statement at this time.

Family Law: Arbitration and Mediation
“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
