About Clear Creek Law
Serving Colorado individuals, families, and business owners with clear, practical legal solutions in Estate Planning, Business Law, and Real Estate Support.
Our Story and Commitment

Transition and Rebrand
In 2024, Huber, Hassell & Associates became Clear Creek Law after founding partner Tom Huber—a longtime friend and law school classmate of Joel Hassell—retired. While Tom will be missed, Joel remains committed to the firm’s legacy of personal service and practical legal guidance.
Clear Creek Law reflects our Colorado roots and our commitment to clarity, integrity, and real-world solutions. We believe legal planning should empower you. Whether protecting your family, growing your business, or managing real estate, we’re here to help you make confident decisions.
Joel Hassell
Shareholder
Clear Creek Law was started by Joel Hassell to give people and businesses across Colorado down-to-earth legal help in plain English. Joel combines his legal training with many years of leadership in business and technology to help clients understand their options and make smart decisions.
Before becoming a lawyer, Joel spent decades working as a tech executive, entrepreneur, and even won an Emmy Award for his work. He led teams in industries like telecom, advertising, and software, earning a reputation for solving problems, explaining things clearly, and getting real results. Now, he brings that same approach to the legal work he does for his clients.
When you work with Clear Creek Law, you work directly with Joel. He brings years of experience, a strong connection to the local community, and a real focus on keeping things simple and clear. Whether you’re planning for your future, running a business, or dealing with property, Joel’s goal is always the same: to make the law work for you in a clear, helpful, and practical way.
