Jodie Gilbert

We are so lucky to have Jodie Gilbert come on as a Partner. She brings her compassion, kindness and expertise to our estate planning practice.

Jodie specializes in helping her clients understand how to take care of the the things that matter most to them, for now and later in life. Starting with comfortable and supportive conversations all the way to a final result, the goal is for every client to walk away knowing that they have a plan that reflects their priorities.

Jodie Gilbert is a graduate of Oberlin College (2002) and the University of Colorado Law School (2011). She is admitted to the Colorado and Alaska state bars.

Jodie is co-Chair for the Colorado Bar Association’s Guardianship Bill of Rights Subcommittee, and serves on the Board of Directors for Imagine!, Boulder County’s single point of entry into local, state, and federally funded programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Jodie has been working with clients in Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, Broomfield, and Northern Colorado since 2011. Originally from Connecticut, she spent time in Alaska, Ohio, and Palmyra Atoll before settling in Colorado in 2006. Today she enjoys keeping up with her two exuberant little boys, traveling, and reading whenever possible.

I was headed into major surgery with two little kids, a husband and a business that depended on me. I needed to know that my kids would be taken care of and that my husband wouldn’t have to be the one making all the difficult decisions when it came to a living will. Jodie worked with me and really listened to what I needed to set up to make sure my kids were taken care of in case something happened. She made the process easy and answered all my questions as we went through the process. She has given me a little peace of mind and did it with so much kindness and caring.

Jodie Gilbert was so helpful in putting together my Special Needs Trust and Living Will. She was very patient in listening to all my questions and then very clearly explaining how to go about getting them resolved. This was all done in a very caring and timely manner. I am so thankful for all the time and expertise that she put into these legal documents. I would highly recommend Jodie for help in any legal matters.

Wendi really took the time to answer all of our questions with a mix of humor and seriousness, and diligently followed up.  She is on it, and emotionally open to the emotional part of the process. Wendi makes you feel incredibly comfortable during all stages of what can seem like a daunting process.  I really trust her, and feel so much more prepared for my future and my children’s futures after going through this work. She provides a great gift to her clients.

We had been researching lawyers for years to do our estate plan. We feel we learned more from our first 20 minutes with Wendi than we did in an hour with any of the others. Wendi was really patient with all of our questions and explained everything so well. We have already recommended her to several of our friends.

We loved working with Temkin Law. We not only gained a better understanding of estates and trusts, but of ourselves as well. We can rest easy knowing that our ‘stuff’ is in order for our child. Doing the Legacy Interview was absolutely priceless. We so enjoyed getting to know Wendi.

Wendi made the process of estate planning, which I was reluctant to do, easy and actually fun.

~ Mitchel Rossman, M.D. ~


Wendi made a time-consuming process much easier to complete through her check-lists, templates, and clear instructions for every task. The binder she put together for us is so thorough and makes something overwhelmingly complicated possible to understand and follow. If I need to remember anything about what we did, I know it is in the binder!

This truly was the best experience with an attorney ever. Ms. Temkin shines brightly with her highly capable communication skill. She also brings a level of comfort that is authentic and unlike previous attorney contacts. Her personable communication style coupled with her strong knowledge base quickly streamlines the experience into a straight forward efficient session.
