Practice Areas: Mediation

As a mediator and attorney, I bring a solid track record of effective and compassionate problem-solving to the practice of family law throughout Colorado, whether the issues concern finances, support or children.. I represent individual clients but also work with couples in mediation seeking to avoid litigation to resolve divorce, legal separation, custody and other family law matters between spouses, former partners and co-parents. I offer representation services for private clients who meet my firm's criteria of mindfulness, integrity and respect, and who wish to protect their rights without resorting to damaging, litigious strategies.. As a mediator, I mediate for post-filing, court-ordered cases as well as with couples who wish to resolve all their issues in mediation prior to involving the court system. 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 also serve as Secretary of the Board of Directors of Colorado Collaborative Divorce Professionals (CCDP), whose mission is to further the knowledge of out-of-court divorce options for Colorado's families as well as Metro Volunteer Lawyers (MVL) on behalf of the Denver Bar Association (DBA), where I help connect attorneys willing to accept pro bono cases for individuals in the Denver Metro in need of civil legal services who cannot afford a lawyer.. I am a proud Colorado native (born and raised in Ft. Collins), a devoted reader and writer and a classically trained pianist. In 2009/10, I taught English to secondary school students just west of Paris. I speak fluent French and return to my adoptive second homeland as often as my schedule allows.. In my spare time, you'll find me reading novels and magazines outdoors (probably at one of Denver's beautiful parks), spending time with my partner and our Golden Retriever puppy, Zelda, or diving deep into a contemporary novel or HBO series.
