About Kim Newton

Kim focuses her practice on both civil litigation and family law. She works closely with Duncan and Chris Griffiths in several fields, such as real estate disputes, insurance bad faith, construction defects, commercial litigation, and other business torts. Kim enjoys problem-solving, writing, and using creative strategies to help clients overcome their legal challenges, no matter how complicated. Her clients have included individuals, homeowners, companies, business owners, and community associations. Regardless of the case, Kim prioritizes each client’s needs and approaches each task with an open mind.

Kim also has considerable experience working on both civil litigation and complex family law appeals. For example, Kim was instrumental in a case involving residential real property and Colorado’s spurious lien statute. On top of obtaining a favorable result for the client, the Colorado Court of Appeals selected the outcome for publication. More recently, Kim helped a client recover hundreds of thousands of dollars in prejudgment interest after a trial court erroneously denied such relief.

Before joining the firm, Kim worked as a law professor’s teaching assistant to help law students improve their legal writing skills. She also gained experience in litigation while serving as a student attorney in a consumer dispute clinic. Her law school even selected her to compete in an annual negotiation competition hosted by the American Bar Association.

Finally, Kim’s ability to overcome legal obstacles primarily stems from her athletics background. She has run marathons, worked as a ski instructor, and even a contestant on American Ninja Warrior Season 7. Outside of work, Kim enjoys skiing, traveling, running with her dog, and spending time with friends and family.

“Every client deserves an attorney who is committed to excellence every step of the way.”

-Kim Newton

Reviews

I was extremely lucky to be represented by Kim Newton. Besides being a smart attorney who is very knowledgeable and resourceful, Kim is an amazing person whose supportive communication gave me a huge confidence in myself while going through a very stressful time. Kim always took her time to thoroughly research the details of my case and respond to opposing counsel in direct and undoubted way. She was always ready to discuss any questions I had regarding my case. The outcome of my case was very satisfying and it is all thanks to Kim’s efforts and her professional skills. I would highly recommend Kim Newton as an outstanding attorney.

Former Client - January 2024, Google Review

Kim was a human first, lawyer second. She was empathetic to my situation, and laid out everything in terms that I could understand.”

Former Client – August 2020, Yelp Review

Even after everything was said and done, she checked up on me, wishing me well. I truly wish I could describe how phenomenal Kim is, but I can’t even begin to scratch the surface.
