A Colorado native, Chris Tzortzis was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins where he received his B.A. in Spanish, International Affairs, and a minor in Business. After his studies in Fort Collins, Chris moved to Akron, Ohio to pursue his law degree at the University of Akron, School of Law. While in Akron, Chris gained exposure to the transactional practice of law at the law school's legal business clinic where he advised local start-ups, non-profits, and small businesses in a variety of industries. While working with the business clinic’s clients, Chris gained an appreciation in helping entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of the legal system to give them peace of mind in their practice while pursuing their dreams and passions. While in Akron, Chris also spent a summer working at the University of Akron Research Foundation where he drafted, reviewed, and negotiated business contracts for the College of Polymer Science, and experienced firsthand how vital contracts are to protect one’s interest in their intellectual property, research, business interests, and innovations.  After graduating from the University of Akron, School of Law in 2012, Chris moved back to Colorado to practice law.  Shortly thereafter, he was sworn in to the Colorado bar and got his start at Stathopulos & Associates, P.C. working primarily with physician practices, estate planning, business and corporate formation, and a variety of other matters to serve small and mid-sized businesses, and individuals.  In 2015, Chris decided a transition was in order, and founded Tzortzis Law Firm, PLLC.  Initially Chris served as in-house legal counsel to a credit repair organization and an advertisement technology start-up and decided that he loved working with businesses that were starting from the ground floor.  The excitement of starting a business and putting forth the time and effort to create products and services that contribute to society is a beautiful thing.  Chris has been serving to meet the needs of small businesses and individuals ever since, with the goal of providing accessible legal counsel and a sense of security through the quality of services he provides. In his spare time, Chris enjoys challenging himself by hiking 14-ers and running races, exploring the ever-expanding urban landscapes, serving as Secretary of the Board at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Denver, travelling locally and abroad as often as possible, and spending time with family.  Chris loves meeting new people and hearing about their life experiences, gaining exposure to different viewpoints and perspectives, and learning as much as he can.Chris looks forward to meeting you and helping you with your legal needs.

Practice Areas: Family

I have been a practicing attorney for over 20 years.  Most of my legal career has been focused on family law; however, I started my litigation experience in San Diego as a prosecutor.  I also worked as an attorney for the United Nations Mission in Kosovo and taught International Law at the University of Denver.  I converted my love of family law and international law into a practice of International Family Law.  About 30% of our practice at Frost & Beck, PC, involves an international component; 60% of our practice is domestic family law inclucing child custody and divorce, and 10% of our practice is family law appeals.  I have won appeals in the 10th Federal Circuit; Colorado Court of Appeals and California Court of Appeals. As of January 18, 2016, I have never lost an appeal.

Practice Areas: Family

With extensive experience litigating all types of business and family law disputes, Chris advises his clients through life’s most difficult legal challenges.. He concentrates over half his practice helping couples through divorce and parental rights disputes: spousal maintenance and child support, division of marital property and marital debt, child custody and parenting time. He has also litigated countless cases for breach of contract, handled all types of real property disputes, and still enjoys advising businesses and their owners through ownership disputes and commercial litigation. Whether assisting closely held business owners resolve ownership and dissolution disputes, fighting fiduciary duty claims, or litigating complex claims to real estate, Chris’s experiences representing businesses help him effectively advocate for his domestic clients when their rights to the marital property are on the line. Chris also understands that, whether it’s a divorce or a business dispute, effectively solving legal problems requires a combination of negotiation and litigation. Chris draws on his experience to tailor practical solutions to his clients’ complex problems. But when negotiation is not productive, he enjoys diligently advocating for his clients in court.. Chris obtained his law degree from the University of North Carolina and his undergraduate degree from Appalachian State University. He practiced commercial litigation in his home town of Kansas City for 15 years before moving to Colorado Springs, which he now enthusiastically calls home. Chris enjoys hiking, fishing, skiing, camping and everything else outdoors.
