I have a strong committment to resolving cases in a cost-effective and amicable fashion.  As a Mediator and Collaborative Attorney, I attempt settlement first before spending emotional and financial capital to battle through the Court system.  The Court system is oftentimes necessary when clients are faced with headstrong adversaries.  Attempting a settlement which focuses on the best interests of the family and win/win scenarios provides long term solutions for parties and so it should be attempted prior to resorting to the Court.

Craig’s credibility, established through helping both plaintiffs and defendants, enables him to connect in all rooms. Clients feel heard as he listens to their story and perspective. He persists—for months if necessary—to get the deal done.. Arbitration. Arbitration should be faster, less expensive, and at least as fair as trial.

After graduating from Tulane Law School in 1994, I settled in the Denver area practicing at prestigious law firms in the Metro area.  In 2004, I opened my own practice focusing solely on family law.  In 2016, I began my mediation practice because I had seen too many cases which should have settled, rather than going the route of litigation.  Today, my mediation practice focuses solely on helping people come together in an easier, more affordable manner, so they can move on with their lives in a more harmonious fashion.. I have lectured at numerous family law conferences, sat on the Ethics Committee for several years, and have been admitted to the Colorado Bar, the United States District Court, District of Colorado, and the United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.  I am a mother, stepmother, divorcee happily remarried, traveler, dog lover and good restaurant junkie.  I look forward to helping you with any and all family law matters without the high cost of litigation.

I work well with both represented clients and those without attorneys.. For all my clients, I draw on years of experience litigating cases on the range from customary matters to complex cases involving difficult child custody (e.g., relocation, substance & personality disorders, alienation and mental health concerns) and high-end financial issues (e.g., business interests, idiosyncratic income, separate property & trust issues). I utilize skills honed alongside Colorado's most venerated divorce professionals for almost a decade, seeking to find harmony between my prior experience in the law and contemporary conflict-resolution approaches incorporating mindfulness and emotional intelligence.. I listen to my clients carefully, conduct a thorough analysis of the facts and am adept at distilling legal concepts into simple, digestible language. I offer a holistic approach and have great success disarming opposing attorneys who do not share my philosophy. For all my clients, I strive to empower them to consider the consequences of a given course of action on their and, if applicable, their children’s emotional, relational and psychological health, not just their legal bottom-line.. I also have experience in drafting estate documents & pre- and post-nuptial agreements. I understand well the myriad roles these documents play in a divorce. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I also stay abreast of the unique legal challenges in the law for LGBTQ+ individuals and children.. In 2021, I was elected to the Executive Council of the Family Law Section of the Colorado Bar Association (CBA), a 20-member governing body overseeing the practice of family law for thousands of attorneys across Colorado.

I am a proud Colorado native (born and raised in Ft. Collins), a devoted reader and writer and a classically trained pianist.
