About Gideon
Gideon Irving represents clients in insurance coverage disputes, personal injury cases, and civil rights matters. He approaches every case with the understanding that legal issues can affect all aspects of a person’s life, and he sees his clients as more than just their legal challenges.
Gideon is equally effective in the courtroom and behind the desk drafting persuasive briefs. He has secured victories at every stage of litigation, including through strategic motions and jury trial wins in state and federal courts. Most recently at trial, he obtained a seven-figure civil rights judgment for clients who were unlawfully detained. He has also helped clients recover seven-figure settlements for wrongfully denied insurance claims.
Before practicing law, Gideon followed an unconventional path, from working in shelters for homeless youth to teaching as an Outward Bound instructor and working as a ski patroller. These experiences shaped his dedication to helping people and his curiosity for understanding complex challenges.
Gideon earned his law degree from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, where he founded the DU Law Outdoor Club, served as vice president of the Student Bar Association, and graduated in the top 6% of his class. Before joining Levin Sitcoff, he clerked for Chief Judge Michael A. Martinez in the Denver District Court and Judge Joseph G. Rosania, Jr. in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado.
