Gerard Deffenbaugh

At Colorado Trusts & Taxes, I understand that life’s transitions can be daunting, especially when it comes to navigating complex legal matters surrounding death and taxes. I have a passion for simplifying tough legal concepts, and I am dedicated to providing accessible guidance and support to individuals and families across Colorado. Outside of work, I’m an outdoor enthusiast who cherishes time spent with my wife Rachel, two young boys, and friends. Whether I’m exploring the wilderness, experimenting in the kitchen, or delving into the pages of science fiction and fantasy novels, I bring a diverse perspective and genuine empathy to my practice. Drawing on over a decade of legal experience, I specialize in estate planning, probate, trust administration, trusts in divorce, and tax law. What sets me apart is my commitment to honesty, attention, and unwavering support during life’s most challenging moments. I recognize the emotional toll that these situations can take, and strive to provide clarity and peace of mind to my clients every step of the way. With my background at both a large national law firm and a boutique law firm, I offer the expertise of a seasoned attorney with the personalized attention of a small firm.
