I practice family law because it is both rewarding and personal to me. Family law isn't like many other fields of law because it requires genuine compassion and empathy. My clients come to me during their toughest times. They are often confused and intimidated by the legal system. As an attorney having overcome my own family struggles, I understand this stress and the need for a compassionate, savvy lawyer to help them make informed, thoughtful decisions about their futures.. Family law is also an interesting field of law intellectually. I love keeping current with the latest cases in my field. I also enjoy legal writing and appellate work in this area.. And while I am always up for litigating a good family law case before the court, I understand that family law cases are often cost prohibitive to many Coloradans. This is why I am very mediation and settlement-focused. I also offer sliding scale services and am a big advocate of unbundled services. To me, it's extremely important that a client have at least some input from counsel, even if they can't afford full representation.. When I'm not being so lawyerly, I love creating art, traveling, and writing short stories!

I lead the family law practice at Kontnik | Cohen, LLC. I began my legal career working alongside a judge in a state trial court, and then moved up to federal appellate court (1 level below the U.S. Supreme Court). Flowing from these judicial experiences is a unique legal perspective that I rely upon in all cases. I believe that the best outcomes are the result of a diligent and detailed preparation. Favorable outcomes in and out of court are fueled long before settlement conferences and trials. I have had many favorable outcomes inside the courtroom but am equally experienced in mediation and negotiation. I approach all cases with a high attention to detail and an eye towards settlement.. My primary focus and passion is undoubtedly family law. In helping people though some of the most difficult times, I rely upon my ability to read between the lines to gain a competitive edge during a case. From time to time, I also enjoy working on interesting cases outside the family law arena. In 2014, I was part of the team that received the highest civil rights settlement (at the time) in the City of Denver for excessive police force.. For fun and entertainment, I enjoy spending time with my family, skiing, or working with the two non-profits that I support: Denver Active Children's Foundation, which donates $1M per year to at-risk youth, and Wish of a Lifetime, which grants life-long wishes to our country’s eldest generation. During college, I was on the Div. II Men’s Ice Hockey team and, in high school, was a team caption for our two-time state champion hockey team.. [Note: RESULTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED. THE FACTS AND LEGAL CIRCUMSTANCES IN EVERY CASE ARE UNIQUE AND WILL DICTATE THE OUTCOME.]

I have over 30 years of experience advising clients on Wills, Trusts, Probate and Trust Administration, Estate and Wealth Transfer Planning Matters, Tax Planning, Tax Disputes with the Internal Revenue Service, Business Matters, LLCs, Partnerships and Corporations..

My goal in my law practice is to provide clients with peace of mind by solving problems and resolving conflicts with creative solutions.  I strive to help preserve your wealth and protect your future in a rapidly changing world.  This mission is exemplified in the Case Studies described on my website ().. I invite you to visit my website to learn more about me and my law practice.  I welcome your comments and look forward to hearing from you.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I handle family and criminal matters on the Front Range and across the State of Colorado. Prior to joining Kalamaya Goscha in 2022, I gained experience at several other law firms specializing in family law and dependency and neglect matters. I graduated from the University of Colorado Law School in 2020 with a JD and Graduate Certificate in Juvenile and Family Law.

In dependency and neglect proceedings I have served as both Respondent Parent Counsel and as a Guardian ad litem for minor children, as well as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for children. Having filled various roles in the court system, I have a well-rounded perspective and appreciation for the best interests of children and the constitutional rights of litigants in family and criminal matters.

I have also worked on cases with complex financial issues including trusts, venture capital and pre-IPO investments, pensions, retirement and stock accounts, and buyouts of business ownership interests.  Before law school, I worked as a legal assistant in the Antitrust Department of the international law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom assisting with large-scale mergers being investigated by the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and the European Commission.  During law school, I worked for the international trade law firm of Neville Peterson and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, both located in Washington, D.C.
