Serving the water and land needs of Colorado for 48 years.

Even before statehood, the territory of Colorado adopted the "prior appropriations doctrine" to allocate and administer this vital resource. The doctrine calls for the delivery of water to the most senior water users before juniors get a single drop, thus the maxim "first in time, first in right." In times of water scarcity the rule can have harsh impacts on the unprepared.

Porzak Law, LLC specializes in water law, a practice involving the acquisition and adjudication of water rights, protecting water rights, real estate, land use and environmental matters.
