Our Story
BHGR was founded in November 2001, when George Berg, David Hill, Rick Greenleaf, and Giovanni Ruscitti set out to build something different. Working from a small office in downtown Boulder, Colorado, they shared a clear vision: deliver the kind of sophisticated legal counsel typically found only at the largest national and international firms, but in a way that was more efficient, more cost-effective, and far more personal.
From the beginning, relationships were at the heart of everything. The founders built a culture in which clients felt genuinely known and valued, a relaxed but professional environment where people came first, and legal strategy followed. That all-hands-on-deck approach, ingrained from the firm’s earliest days, remains one of BHGR’s defining characteristics.
The firm opened it’s with the four founding partners, an associate, a paralegal, and a legal assistant. As clients’ needs evolved, so did BHGR. What began as a boutique practice focused on construction, real estate, and water law grew steadily, adding criminal law, public entity, and estate planning attorneys, then corporate and intellectual property lawyers, always in direct response to the needs of the people and businesses BHGR serves.
Today, BHGR has grown into a full-service firm with offices across Colorado, Wyoming, and California, nearly sixty attorneys, and a national reputation for high-quality legal services at competitive rates. Through every stage of growth, the firm has remained committed to its founders’ original vision: a firm where clients are partners, relationships are lasting, and exceptional legal work is always the standard.
