Suzanne was born in a cabin in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. She comes from a fifth-generation Colorado family, with a background in community, family, environmentalism, business, alternative dispute resolution and academia. She has studied and worked from Colorado to Vermont, Paris to Alaska, San Francisco to Seattle, earning her bachelors chemistry and biology from Fort Lewis College, her law degree from Seattle University School of Law and Masters in Science and Law from Vermont Law School.. Suzanne has spent most of her life in Colorado and Alaska, practicing law, building businesses, engaging community, helping people build better lives. Her fundamental philosophy is that life can be wonderful, often it takes deep work, but the journey is better made when taken with innovative perspective, strength, integrity and diligence. To that end, she works closely with clients to understand the context of their lives and needs to help them determine their goals and arrive at their destinations with as much potential and resilience as possible.. Suzanne has owned and operated multiple businesses and is committed to the innovative use of entrepreneurship. She has worked with individuals, corporations, educational organizations and business incubators to help people bring their best ideas to successful fruition.. Suzanne’s legal experience started in 1993 when she worked for the best environmental lawyer in Colorado for two years in Denver. The firm amassed multimillion dollar judgments and settlements for Colorado citizens, helping to clean up Colorado. She moved to Alaska where she eventually opened her own law firm, keeping Alaska wild and its citizens safe. She worked on land use cases, native issues, domestic issues, business development and more. She won two cases before the Alaska Supreme Court securing both land use provisions and the ability for litigants who work for the common good to recover attorneys’ fees.. Suzanne then moved her growing family to the northern most tip of Alaska where she represented the North Slope Borough, a local government that covered 90,000 square miles with an annual budget of $360,000,000. NSB territory included remote Alaskan villages as well as the Prudhoe Bay oilfields and the Artic National Wildlife Reserve. She helped the NSB navigate issues including regulations, capital projects, facility upkeep, housing, human resources, healthcare, risk assessment and was the point person for all municipal contracting.

She saw multiple polar bears and walrus, snowy owls and caribou.. After five years Suzanne moved back to Colorado and reopened her law firm representing people in business, domestic issues and community organizing. She eventually was offered an amazing job in the San Luis Valley directing a burgeoning nonprofit land trust to build its wildlife and regenerative agriculture program. This land trust was funded by a historic hot springs that served 27,000 day visitors a year, which she also managed.. From there Suzanne was hired by the Western Colorado University’s Masters in Environmental Management Program to teach business and nonprofit development, leadership and collaboration, environmental law and more. To facilitate this, She was provided with a gorgeous 350 acre ranch along the Tomiche Creek where the mission was to build enterprise around regenerative agriculture, green building, renewable energy and wildlife.

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.
