Steamboat, CO Attorneys - The Law Office of Ralph A. Cantafio P.C.

Jay M. Cranmer, Esq.

I first moved to Steamboat in 1995 following my first year in college. For the next three years, I enjoyed Steamboat, the community, and local activities before returning to school and graduating from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor's degree in economics and enrolling in law school at the University of Denver. During three years in law school, I was an active member of the Denver University Law Review and excelled at legal writing and trial practice.

Following graduation from DU Law School, I returned to Steamboat where I was employed as a Deputy District Attorney in Craig and Steamboat Springs. During my time at the D.A.'s office, I was responsible for prosecuting every misdemeanor, DUI and traffic case in Routt County while gaining valuable trial experience in all types of cases. In 2007, I moved into private practice at the Law Office of Ralph A. Cantafio, P.C., where I specialize in criminal/DUI defense, divorce and family law.

I live in Steamboat with my two dogs, Ajax and Belle, and continue to enjoy all the Yampa Valley has to offer.

Ralph A. Cantafio, Esq. "What is title insurance?"

Title insurance protects your title to property by claims that occur after you close. Prior to closing, the buyer will contact a title company. The title company issues a title commitment. That commitment will identify the property and state what the policy will insure and - just as importantly - the exclusions (things the title company will not insure). It is these exclusions/exceptions to title which require close scrutiny prior to closing. At closing, the title company will issue your title insurance and should anyone make a claim as to the property you own, your title insurance company will defend that claim.
