Why We Love Colorado: A Valentine’s Day Letter from Flanagan Law
Every February, Colorado reminds us why we chose to call this place home.
Maybe its the way a winter sunrise paints the Front Range in shades of pink and gold that no photograph ever quite captures. Maybe its the stranger who helped push your car out of a snowbank last Tuesday and waved off your thanks like it was nothing. Or maybe its the simple fact that you can stand in your driveway on a cold February morning, coffee in hand, and see mountains that people travel thousands of miles just to glimpse.
We love this state. And today feels like a good day to say so.
The People Make the Place
Colorado’s landscape gets all the attention. The postcard views, the ski resorts, the endless trail systems. But if you’ve lived here long enough, you know the real magic is the people.
Its the volunteer firefighters in Castle Rock who show up at three in the morning when the temperature is nine degrees. Its the teachers in Commerce City who spend their own money on classroom supplies because they care more about their students than their paychecks. Its the nurses at Denver Health who hold a stranger’s hand during the worst moment of their life and somehow still find words that help.
We see these people every day in our work. Not just as clients, but as neighbors. As fellow Coloradans who got up this morning and drove the same icy roads we did, dropped their kids off at the same schools, and grabbed coffee at the same local shops that know their order by heart.
A State Worth Protecting
Colorado has changed a lot in recent years. Growth has brought new faces, new businesses, new energy. It has also brought more traffic, more construction, and roads that sometimes struggle to keep up with the demands we place on them.
But through all of it, something essential about this place has remained. People here still stop to help. They still wave at neighbors. They still believe that doing the right thing matters even when nobody is watching.
That spirit is something worth protecting. Not just on Valentine’s Day, but every single day of the year.
Why This Matters to Us
At Flanagan Law, we didn’t just set up an office in Colorado. We built our lives here. Our kids go to school here. We shop at the same grocery stores, sit in the same traffic, and cheer for the same teams.
When someone walks through our door after an accident, they’re not a case number. They’re a neighbor. They’re the person who coaches little league in Thornton, or the woman who runs the food bank in Lakewood, or the college student biking to class in Boulder who got hit by a driver who wasn’t paying attention.
We fight for those people because they’re our people. Colorado’s people.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Colorado
Today we just want to say thank you. Thank you for the mountain views and the morning commutes that somehow feel worth it when the sun hits the Flatirons just right. Thank you for holding doors open, shoveling your neighbor’s sidewalk, and pulling over when you see someone stranded on the side of I-25 in a snowstorm.
Thank you for being the kind of state where people still care about each other.
From our family to yours, Happy Valentine’s Day.
And if you ever need us, we’re right here. We always will be.
