Today’s Guests:
On this episode of Water Talk, Paul Dowding, Owner of Water Pro’s Paul the Waterman shares some insights on what is going on at water treatment plants, and then explains his concerns on the quality of our drinking water. Water treatment plants use a variety of chemicals, including disinfectants like chlorine and chloramine, coagulants such as alum and ferric chloride to clump particles together, and pH adjusters like sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid to control acidity. Other common chemicals include activated carbon to remove impurities and scale and corrosion inhibitors like phosphates to protect pipes. The big question is how are these chemical effecting our health and the quality of our drinking water. Unregulated contaminants are not tested. There is no exact number for all unregulated contaminants, as the number is constantly evolving, but at least 160 contaminants lack legal limits in U.S. tap water, and over 97 million people have been exposed to some unregulated contaminants.

Thursday 10/16/25: Legal Talk with Attorney Kevin Flesch & Your Legacy Your Way with Estate Planning Attorney Carolyn Duncan-Duncan Legal

Today’s Guests:
Attorney Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law and Host Scott Whatley talk about the key differences between criminal and civil trials. Kevin explains what defines a “trial” and why most cases are resolved before reaching that stage—often due to cost, risk, and strategy. He distinguishes between jury and bench trials, outlining how attorneys decide which is best based on emotion, complexity, and client preference. Kevin details the unique features of criminal trials, including the high burden of proof (“beyond a reasonable doubt”) and the role of plea bargaining. He contrasts this with civil trials, where the standard is “preponderance of the evidence” and outcomes focus on liability and damages rather than guilt. The conversation closes with practical advice: understand your rights, trust your legal counsel, and carefully weigh the pros and cons of trial versus settlement. Kevin Flesch and their attorneys represent personal injury victims and people accused of criminal acts throughout the Denver area. It’s always a free consultation at Flesch Law. Call Kevin today at 303-806-8886 or visit the website at www.fleschlawfirm.com. Got a legal question? You can now TEXT the Flesch Law Line 24/7 with your legal question: 720-201-8585.

Then it’s Your Legacy Your Way, with Estate Planning Attorney Carolyn Duncan. Today Carolyn outlines the biggest estate-planning mistakes and how to avoid them. Common errors: no plan, failing to update after marriage, divorce, or births, mismatched beneficiary designations, overlooking incapacity planning, DIY documents that don’t meet Colorado law, poor asset titling, ignoring taxes, and keeping plans secret. Her fixes: create a will or trust tailored to your family, add medical powers of attorney and a living will, review beneficiaries and titles on accounts, coordinate assets with the plan, address taxes with professional guidance, tell fiduciaries where documents are kept, and review the plan every two years regularly. Carolyn offers a free 1/2 hour consultation, call 303-394-2358. Visit the website at www.duncanlegal.com.

Then it’s “Your Legacy Your Way”, with Attorney Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal. On today’s show Carolyn explains why estate planning is essential for every family—not just the wealthy. Without a will or trust, Colorado law determines how assets are distributed, often creating delays, added costs, and family conflict. Carolyn stressed that planning protects not only assets but also relationships, especially for parents who need to designate guardians for minor children. She highlighted common mistakes, including failing to update documents, overlooking beneficiary designations, and relying on online forms that don’t reflect state-specific laws. Estate planning also prepares for incapacity, ensuring trusted individuals can make financial and medical decisions if needed. Carolyn encourages clients to start with a simple conversation, then build a plan tailored to their needs—whether a will, trust, or both. She emphasizes that the process is approachable and offers peace of mind. Call Duncan Legal today 303-394-2358. Visit the website at www.duncanlegal.com.
