I graduated from Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley in 1994. After clerking in the Colorado Court of Appeals for a year, I became a prosecutor in Colorado’s 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. I spent most of my nearly 20 years there prosecuting persons crimes, i.e. crimes where a person was victimized, such as assault, robbery, sexual assault, child abuse, and murder. I spent nearly 10 of those years prosecuting crimes against children. I can say, unequivocally, that I am one of the most experienced trial lawyers in Colorado.. I began my private practice career in 2015 at Gutterman Griffiths (later Griffiths Law). On November 1, 2020, two of my former partners at that firm and I opened a new law firm, WZW Family Law LLC. We brought two associates, four support staff, and five full caseloads with us into our new (ad)venture.. As a family law attorney, it's been my privilege to deal with some of the most complex and interesting assets out there, including stock options, restricted stock units, other deferred compensation, a private equity fund, partnerships in national and international accounting firms, thousands of acres of farm and ranch land, an aviation business, real estate and restaurant development businesses, law firms, law suit proceeds, medical practices, and a whole host of different kinds of trusts. My clients have ranged from “captains of industry” to stay-at-home spouses.. Because of my focus on persons crimes, I spent nearly every day working with victims of violent and traumatizing crimes, who were under enormous emotional stress when they met with me. My clients, and my colleagues, have told me that they value my ability to be calm in the face of emotional upheaval.. I became involved in Collaborative Divorce early on in my private practice career. I became qualified to handle collaborative divorce cases before I’d been a family law attorney for a year, joined the Colorado Collaborative Divorce Professionals (CCDP) shortly thereafter, became a Board Member for the organization in late 2016, served as its Executive Vice President in 2017, and President in 2018.. My background and experience are rare in the family law bar. Very few lawyers spend nearly every day of their career in court. No collaborative divorce attorney in the state has the trial background and skills that I have.. I bring all of my abilities to bear in everything I do for clients, from negotiating and settling cases to presenting evidence and making argument in a courtroom.

I believe it is important to provide clients with individualized legal advice to help them make the best decisions possible for themselves and their families.  Divorce and custody cases are often a painful process which can take adults a long time to recover from and can have even longer lasting effects on the children. Every family and case is different; there is no one size fits all divorce.. Even if your divorce is friendly, court orders could affect you and your children for the rest of your life.  Mistakes or unintentional omissions can be hard, if not impossible to undo, so making sure you have experienced legal representation is important.  I can help you navigate through the legal process to help you resolve your legal needs.. I am dedicated the practice of family law and represent clients going through divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities (custody cases), cases involving complex financial analysis and asset division, discovery issues, post decree matters, protection orders, contempt, paternity, chapter 7 bankruptcies, and marital agreements.

I am a Colorado native, practicing law for 8 years and exclusively family law for 6+ years.. I obtained my undergraduate degree in political science at the University of Colorado at Boulder in December 2011, and obtained my J.D. at the University of San Diego School of Law in May 2015.

I like to help clients focus on moving forward, into the lives they want to live post-divorce, including being the best co-parents they can be.  I want to help them move away from the negativity they have often been living in for a long time before they call me.. Where it is possible, I like to help parents create the new structures that are going to support all family members.  The best court orders cannot tap into the creativity and problem-solving that parties, who know best what they need for themselves and for their children, can bring to the part of the process that takes place outside of a courtroom.
