Ron Hellbusch is a partner in the Denver office of Lewis Brisbois and a member of the Asbestos Litigation, Products Liability, Toxic Tort & Environmental Litigation, and PFAS Litigation Practices.

Mr. Hellbusch has represented his clients in hundreds of asbestos cases in state and federal courts in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming for over 20 years. He has extensive experience deposing parties, experts, and other witnesses and diligently strives to remove clients from litigation by obtaining voluntary dismissals. When voluntary dismissals cannot be obtained, he has significant experience asserting a range of defenses to achieve his clients’ goals, including drafting and arguing dispositive motions. With Mr. Hellbusch's 20 years of experience, and with resources collected over that period, he is also able to find alternative causes for plaintiff's injury and to reduce the value of the plaintiff's case against his clients.

Recently, Mr. Hellbusch also successfully defended a client in a per- and polyfluoroalkyl (“PFAS”) class action and related individual cases filed in federal court in Colorado involving alleged ground water contamination, property damage, and personal injuries allegedly caused by fire-fighting foam.
