Joel Hassell is a Colorado attorney who helps individuals, families, businesses, and fiduciaries navigate legal issues with practical advice and clear communication. A Colorado native, Joel graduated from high school and law school in Colorado. Although his early career took him to other parts of the country, he returned home in 1989 and has spent decades serving Colorado clients and communities.

Today, Joel’s practice focuses on estate planning, probate and trust administration, business law, real estate, and related litigation. From the firm’s office in Golden, he represents clients throughout the Denver metropolitan area, the Front Range, and Colorado’s mountain communities. He also assists out-of-state clients with Colorado legal matters, including ancillary probate and trust administration involving Colorado property.

Before entering the practice of law, Joel built a successful career as a technology executive and entrepreneur, leading organizations in telecommunications, software, and advertising. His business experience, combined with his legal training, gives him a practical perspective that clients value when making important personal and business decisions.

Joel remains actively involved in Colorado’s legal community through his work with the Colorado Bar Association and Colorado Bar Association CLE, where he has devoted significant time to advancing legal education, technology, and the future of legal practice. He believes the best legal counsel combines sound judgment, practical experience, and the ability to explain complex issues in a way clients can understand.
