TRUHLAR and TRUHLAR, L.L.P.
2012 Newsletter
Doris and Bob both are listed in the 2012 Super Lawyers publication, Doris for the third time and Bob for the sixth. The Super Lawyers listing in Denver comes out every year in 5280 Magazine and also in a special publication for attorneys. Selections are made by voting of practicing lawyers. Truhlar and Truhlar also was chosen as one of the best employment firms in Colorado by the publication Best Lawyers in America, in which Bob has been listed for 17 years in a row. He also is president of the Colorado Plaintiff Employment Lawyers Association ("PELA"), the fourth year he's served in that capacity, and is an adjunct professor at the University of Denver College of Law ("DU").
Doris recently taught on the subject of ethics in family law, and also served on a panel (with two judges) at the annual Family Law Institute. She continues to serve on the Colorado Women's Bar Association Board, and remains a member of the 18th Judicial District Nominating Commission (for selection of judges).
Attorney Mary Jo Lowrey kept herself busy during 2011 working on briefs in the two appeals pending before the Colorado Court of Appeals stemming from the jury trial we won last summer. She did, however, find time to travel to Bourges, France to become a godmother to her half-French second cousin and visit with her French cousin-in-laws. When she returned from her trip she attended the PELA annual retreat where she was elected to a second term as Secretary. She recently purchased her first house.
Paralegal Carol Zumwalt recently was the Matron of Honor at the wedding of her younger brother, Glen, who married his fiancé, Siera! Glen is in the U.S. Navy and has been stationed in Pensacola, Florida for the past year to complete his training. Siera is relocating to Pensacola to be with Glen. Carol's daughter Taylor, who is almost three years old, was the Flower Girl at the wedding and did an incredible job of scattering flower petals down the aisle.
Emily Ploch, employment paralegal and receptionist, the friendly face at the front desk, went on her first family vacation in a long time when she flew to Orlando, where she met her parents and two of her five brothers. They went to Sea World and the Kennedy Space Center, both of which Emily thought were incredible. There also was plenty of relaxing by the pool. Emily also went home for Christmas with her sister, who also lives in Denver. They visited their parents and brothers in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Law Clerk Amanda Walck is a second-year DU student who was an extern for us this past summer and then was hired as a paid clerk. She works for Bob and Mary Jo and our employment clients.
Jacob Allen, a second-year law student at DU, was an extern this past summer and also has stayed with the firm as a paid clerk. He primarily works for Doris on domestic cases, but from time to time helps Mary Jo and Bob on their cases as well. Jacob has also been working as a student attorney in DU's Civil Litigation Clinic, where he's had the opportunity to work on employment, housing, and domestic cases. Over the winter break Jacob is traveled to sunny south Florida for ten days to get some much needed rest and relaxation after the stress of finals.
