I am a medical malpractice lawyer in Denver, Colorado who works exclusively with people who have been seriously injured as the result of a medical error. My unique and varied medical background gives my clients an important and uncommon advantage. Although my undergraduate degree is in Criminal Justice, I spent three years studying biology and chemistry, changing majors in my senior year. I also completed the rigorous didactic and clinical education program for New York State's highest level of prehospital care providers, becoming a paramedic in 1995. I worked as a Paramedic for six years in the City of Rochester, New York, where I diagnosed and treated thousands of patients in need of emergent medical and surgical intervention in the prehospital setting. This included everything from heart attacks, strokes, diabetic emergencies, delivering babies, pediatric emergencies, major trauma, electrocutions and critical care transports to routine non-emergency evaluations and care. I also spent two years as a Tissue Procurement Specialist and Procurement Team Leader for the Rochester Eye and Human Parts Bank, where I performed sterile, surgical tissue procurement procedures on tissue donors to recover transplantable joints and tissues for recipients across the country. During my undergraduate years, I worked in the operating room as an anesthesia technician and scrub-assist technician, and worked with Alzheimer's patients in a secured nursing facility. Finally, I also have experience in various areas of veterinary medicine and surgery with large and small animals. All of these experiences contribute to my understanding of broad medical and physiological concepts. My specialized medical training and experience positions my clients at a strategic advantage in medical negligence litigation, which is the only kind of work that I do. If you or someone you know has suffered an injury that you believe might be the result of a medical error, call me to discuss your situation..

Attorney focused in the area of insurance litigation. Extensive experience zealously representing clients during all stages of litigation, from initial filing through trial.

As a litigator of 10-years, I began my career in plaintiffs’ personal injury work and, after three years, transitioned to an in-house position at a major ski company in Colorado, primarily managing injury defense and commercial disputes. My time working for a large company gave me a deep understanding of what is required to aid a business as an attorney and employee. I appreciate becoming proficient regarding an organization’s business practices and working to further its objectives and becoming an expert regarding a single client. I then transitioned to an outside counsel role, which gave me exposure to different types of businesses and their legal needs.  At my current firm, I manage a broad commercial and civil litigation practice. I also assist clients on transaction matters when the opportunity arises, and I am trending my practice and career search in that direction.

Allie counsels individuals and families, helping them understand and navigate the law, develop comprehensive plans to care for their loved ones and transfer assets, and clarify and manage their responsibilities during the probate process.

While necessary, planning for the future can sometimes be uncomfortable and confusing. Many people have misconceptions about the law or feel intimidated by it. They’re also, very understandably, reluctant to think about what their wishes would be in the event of a life-altering accident or death.. I’m honored to help support and advocate for so many individuals and families, whether we’re working through important discussions or I’m helping them manage unfortunate circumstances. It’s satisfying to help bring light and clarity to these situations and illustrate how that same dense and formal legal language can be used as a tool to ensure that my clients are heard and safeguarded.. I’m a Colorado native and love the ease and beauty of living in Arvada with my husband, Brooks, and our rescue dog and cats, Annie Oakley, Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holliday. We’re often exploring the trails near our home or hiking off-leash trails in the Rocky Mountain foothills.. Supporting underserved populations is important to me—whether it’s volunteering at local animal shelters or working across language barriers to advocate for working class and immigrant communities.

Just as with our law office clients, Tribal Wills works to clarify ever-fluctuating state and federal laws and help these folks develop comprehensive and empowered estate plans.
