After completing my undergraduate studies, I attended the University of Colorado Law School, where I received my Juris Doctorate. While in law school, I served as a research associate at the Natural Resources Law Center. Prior to graduation, I gained litigation experience while serving as a student attorney in the American Indian Law Clinic, as well as working for a criminal defense firm in Denver.. My practice is varied and is focused primarily in complex civil litigation, involving personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, constitutional law, and products liability matters. A large portion of my practice also focuses on litigation and appeals involving employment law, and more specifically the defense of police officers, sheriffs, and governmental officials in disciplinary actions across Colorado in state and federal courts, and administrative tribunals. I have successfully litigated many cases to verdict in both state and federal court, and have extensive trial experience. I am a member of Elkus, Sisson, and Rosenstein’s team of trial attorneys, and I participate in all phases of the litigation process..

I am also active in the Denver Chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

I  focus on bankruptcy matters, financial restructuring, workouts, and reorganizations, including representing debtors, creditors and trustees. Over the years, I found that many clients prefer a "hands on" approach with their attorney when dealing with their everyday financial issues - instead of being just another number. After more than a decade in practice with a boutique bankruptcy law firm, I broke away so that I could provide more personalized service to my clients.. I have a passion for outdoor activities, including road biking, mountain biking, hiking, skiing and boating.  If I am not in the office, you can usually find me on the bike or on the slopes, depending on the season, spending quality time with my family.

When I am not practicing law, I spend as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors, museums and cultural activities and relaxing with my English bulldogs, Moe & Nugget.

I'm a recovered litigator, dog lover, avid theater-goer and Denver native.  An avid mystery reader as a kid, I originally wanted to be a PI, then a cop.  When I was twelve, I decided I wanted to be on the safe side of the law and become a lawyer when I knew the answer to a contract question posed by John Houseman in the movie "The Paper Chase.". I spent the first ten years of my career doing litigation, bankruptcy, banking, troubled real estate and business matters.  But, as my mother said, I'm really a social worker with a law degree - estate planning and administration is what I love!  I enjoy talking to clients about their family, their values and their desires in order to provide strong, flexible, compassionate and creative solutions for their estate plans.  I also can make the difficult task of dealing with a loved one's things after they pass on as easy on you as possible.  And my extensive background in commercial litigation, bankruptcy, banking, and troubled real estate, gives me the tools and knowledge to handle any financial issues that may arise along the way.

However, it is said that “a goal without a plan is just a wish” -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. So let’s make a plan! I would be honored to get to know you and your wishes and commemorate them in a way that will protect the future of your loved ones.My husband and I moved to Colorado less than a month after I graduated from Chicago Kent College of Law to settle in with our soon-to-be family. I found work with the Colorado Department of Human Services and dedicated my time to public service for 6 years. While I loved my time at the State, I struggled to find a life-work balance and ultimately decided to take some time to be with my children and reevaluate my career. As my kids and I explored Colorado together, I met so many people, just like my husband and I, who had young families but had put off creating an estate plan. We were all so busy traveling, learning to ride bikes, and heading to the mountains for a weekend of hiking, camping and skiing! When did we have time? That is when it became clear to me that this was my new path. Not only do I want to protect my own family, but I want to help educate other families about how important this planning is! I opened Bastani Law Firm, LLC with this focus in mind and love learning the stories of individuals and families who seek to create plans that reflect their intentions and protect their loved ones. I truly look forward to helping you create a custom plan that will give you peace of mind as you take on life’s adventures with your family.

I am the proud mom of three incredibly hilarious, smart and loving girls. Becoming a mom in 2011 made me realize that I would do anything for that little person and that her needs now came before mine. This is the same philosophy behind having a well-organized estate plan in place – it is not about you, it is about your loved ones. They will be the ones to benefit from your estate plan. Getting your affairs in order is truly an un-selfish and proactive choice you can make on behalf of your family.. When I’m not helping families make choices for protecting their loved ones, I enjoy spending time outside with my family, running, yoga and a good craft beer.
