About Gideon
Gideon Irving’s practice focuses on representing plaintiffs in insurance disputes, personal injury litigation, and civil rights cases. He understands how a legal problem can affect every area of a person’s life, and he cares about seeing his clients as so much more than just the legal issues they bring into his office.
Gideon equally enjoys writing briefs and advocating in the courtroom, and he’s achieved notable successes in both arenas. At trial, he’s prevailed in state and federal courts, including by winning contract disputes, defeating opposing parties’ counterclaims, and, most recently, obtaining a 7-figure civil rights judgment for clients who were unlawfully detained by the government. Through his writing, he’s secured 7-figure settlements for wrongfully denied insurance benefits, prevented insurance companies from dismissing lawsuits filed against them, and altered the course of pending litigation by winning crucial motions, such as motions for summary judgment, the striking of expert testimony, and sanctions for spoliation of evidence.
While growing up in Denver, Gideon always cared about helping people but never planned to become a lawyer. After attending college at the University of Colorado, he first worked in shelters for homeless youth, and then as an Outward Bound instructor and ski patroller. Becoming an attorney has allowed him to combine his inquisitive, nerdy side with his passion for helping people in crisis.
Gideon attended law school at 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.
Prior to joining Levin Sitcoff, he served as a judicial law clerk to Chief Judge Michael A. Martinez in the Denver District Court and then to Judge Joseph G. Rosania, Jr. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado.
Outside of work, you will find Gideon skiing or rock climbing, reading fiction, or attempting to play the piano.
