CEO Partner Steven O’Connor was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, where he obtained his undergraduate degree in Political Science from DePaul University. While attending law school, Steven returned to Chicago during his summers, to work at the Domestic Violence Legal Clinic (DVLC), in the heart of the city’s west-side. While with DVLC, Steven worked as a practicing law student, representing indigent clients in order of protection proceedings, as well as proceedings in divorce and custody. During his time with DVLC, Steven became familiar with the dynamics of domestic violence, and the experience informs his practice on a daily basis.. While enrolled at the top ranked, tier one University of Colorado Law School - Boulder, Steven focused his studies on family law topics, as well as the art and practice of legal negotiation, under the instruction of CU’s Scott Peppet. Steven practiced in the University’s civil practice clinic, where he oversaw immigration, social security disability, and family law cases. Upon graduation from the University of Colorado, Steven was awarded a certificate in mediation, as well as the University’s Family Law Certificate, which is commonly awarded to only a handful of students who have sought out specific curriculum related to the field. Steven was also named a Schiller, DuCanto, and Fleck family law scholar, and was awarded the CALI Award for Constitutional Process, achieving the highest marks in his class in constitutional studies.. Steven was licensed to practice law in Colorado after successfully passing Colorado’s Bar Examination, and began working with the law firm of Carlson and Carlson immediately thereafter. In addition to his work at the Carlson firm, Steven performs contract and pro-bono work through the Law Office of Eric A. Fisher, in Frisco, and Gendelman Law Group, in Denver. Steven is a frequent participant in the fifth judicial district’s “Legal Resource Day,” which provides free legal services to litigants across the I-70 corridor. He is also a volunteer with Colorado Legal Services.. In addition to his pro-bono work for the community, Steven is the municipal prosecutor for the town of Georgetown and City of Leadville, and was formerly the prosecutor for the town of Minturn, which is now handled by CEO partner Courtney Edwards. Steven is also the associate municipal judge for the town of Frisco. He has been a contributing author to “The Practitioner’s Guide to Colorado Domestic Relations Law” for three years, and has taught CLE’s to legal professionals when solicited to do so.. Steven’s practice is family law centric - however, many issues can arise in that context. He is well-educated in a number of areas of law, including estate planning, criminal defense, civil litigation, appellate work, and business practices in addition to his work in domestic relations.. Steven’s practice is now and has always been primarily a high-country based practice. Steven lives in Dillon, with his wife and high-school sweetheart Ashley, and their german wirehaired pointer, Nixon. Steven can be found on the weekends crewing his sailboat with his wife/captain Ashley on the Dillon Reservoir or backpacking in the summer season, and skiing Breckenridge and Vail’s back-bowls in the winter season

I am currently a senior associate attorney with the Bagley Law Firm, LLC, with a winning track record in – and out – of the courtroom. I have legal experience in a variety of practice areas, including divorce and child custody matters, criminal defense, probate, and personal injury.. Originally from Connecticut, I relocated to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado at Boulder where I earned Bachelor’s degrees in Philosophy and Sociology.  Upon graduation, I remained in Colorado to attend the University of Colorado’s School of Law, where I received the law school’s Deans Fellowship, a merit scholarship and non-profit grant.  I used this opportunity to conduct legal research as part of the university’s research staff, focusing my research on the newly developing areas of law which include open adoptions and surrogate pregnancies.. In addition to my legal work as an attorney, I have experience working as a Guardian Ad Litem, representing the interests of both adults and children who the courts have determined to be incapable of making legal decisions on their own.  In addition, I am a trained and certified mediator, a skill set which permits me to help opposing parties reach amicable solutions without the need of judicial involvement, often times avoiding the costly alternative of litigating a dispute at trial.. In addition to helping my clients achieve their goals, my interests outside of the legal sphere include fitness, hiking, snowboarding, and travel.

Passionate about justice and driven by a deep commitment to fairness, my legal journey spans over two decades. It started as a trial attorney in Venezuela, where I defended individuals in high-stakes criminal, family, and human rights cases, standing up for democracy in a system plagued by corruption. My dedication to justice eventually forced me to seek asylum in the United States, an experience that profoundly shaped my understanding of legal systems and the people they’re meant to protect.. In the U.S., I continued my legal career, focusing on Family Law and Immigration Law—areas where I could make the most impact. I understand firsthand the fear, uncertainty, and emotional weight that come with legal struggles, whether it’s the heartbreak of a custody battle, the complexities of divorce, or the overwhelming process of immigration. That’s why my approach is rooted in both strategic advocacy and genuine empathy.. I’m not just here to handle cases—I’m here to be a strong advocate for my clients, to fight for their rights, and to guide them through legal processes with clarity and confidence. Whether I’m securing parental rights, negotiating fair settlements, or defending someone’s right to remain in this country, my work is personal. I’ve experienced many of the struggles my clients face, and that perspective fuels my fierce commitment to their success.
