I have moved to Colorado!  I am currently licensed to practice law in Colorado and in Texas.. I have practiced family law (including divorce, child support, child custody, modifications, enforcements)  in Texas from 1990 to 2022 and since 2022 in Colorado.   I believe that treating others with respect and dignity inspires those others to treat you the same way and this motto has always served me well, both personally and professionally.  I do not believe that a lawyer should create chaos or cause harm in any family.  Families can indeed be "restructured" successfully - without the often permanent emotional and financial damage that some traditional family lawyers endorse.. I am very proud of my reputation for integrity with my peers (lawyers and Judges) and that reputation along with my many years of experience offers my clients unique opportunities to work through their family issues.  I am able to work together respectfully with other lawyers to encourage creative and family-specific solutions for my clients.  Traditional litigation can be like war in terms of harm to folks, both financially and emotionally, and it leaves permanent scars on children.  There is a better way!. I have been practicing family law using the "Collaborative" method since 2004.  Collaborative family matters save your sanity and your family relationships.  Collaboration enables spouses or parents to process a family matter entirely outside the court system - leaving total control of the outcome of parenting and financial decisions to the spouses or parents themselves.  You literally never have to step foot in a courtroom, or air your "dirty laundry" in public, or suffer the indignity of having a complete stranger (even the most well-meaning and outstanding Judge is a stranger to you) dictate to you how to manage your life, your family relationships, your children, or your finances.   Check out Colorado Collaborative Divorce Professionals or Foothills Collaborative Divorce Professionals for more information.. In a Collaborative case your lawyers and other allied neutral professionals (examples of allied neutral professionals: a parenting professional, a mental health professional, a family communications facilitator, a divorce financial professional) work together to offer creative solutions and develop unique family-specific options for the spouses or parents to consider.  It is like a full team effort working towards the goals set by the parents or spouses themselves at the outset of a case, and completely opposite the traditional mud-flinging, lawyer head-bashing, and anger-supporting, chaos of the courtroom environment.  In a collaborative case your lawyers help you choose the allied professionals to work with during the case depending upon your own family issues and needs.  These allied professionals do not represent either party but offer neutral transparent guidance and help create options for solutions to your own family issues.. Enthusiasm for the benefits offered to families by the Collaborative process among lawyers (those who prefer to be problem solvers and not those who encourage hostility and aggression), social workers, counsellors, and enlightened Judges, has really taken off across the country and in Texas we now have a well developed collaborative family law protocol and many successful collaborative practice groups. Collaborative practice groups comprise lawyers, mental health professionals, financial professionals and parenting professionals who work together in a local area and who collectively adhere to a certain set of ethical and educational policies. I update my collaborative training education every single year, participate in local and state wide collaborative groups, and am an active collaborative divorce practitioner. I strive to offer the collaborative process as an option to my divorce clients who seek a less damaging way to restructure their lives. I am also a certified mediator and able to help negotiate settlement agreements for folks who prefer to keep their misery out of the public view and who wish to make decisions for themselves and to move forward with their lives much sooner than they can with traditional litigation. There really is a better way to divorce!. I will be happy to discuss these options with you and to answer your questions!

I practice family law because it is both rewarding and personal to me. Family law isn't like many other fields of law because it requires genuine compassion and empathy. My clients come to me during their toughest times. They are often confused and intimidated by the legal system. As an attorney having overcome my own family struggles, I understand this stress and the need for a compassionate, savvy lawyer to help them make informed, thoughtful decisions about their futures.. Family law is also an interesting field of law intellectually. I love keeping current with the latest cases in my field. I also enjoy legal writing and appellate work in this area.. And while I am always up for litigating a good family law case before the court, I understand that family law cases are often cost prohibitive to many Coloradans. This is why I am very mediation and settlement-focused. I also offer sliding scale services and am a big advocate of unbundled services. To me, it's extremely important that a client have at least some input from counsel, even if they can't afford full representation.. When I'm not being so lawyerly, I love creating art, traveling, and writing short stories!

Colorado divorce attorney Lindsay Abernethy decided to pursue family law because she wanted to work closely with people and help them through difficult times in their lives.. “I like being able to put people at ease during stressful circumstances,” said Ms. Abernethy. “During a divorce, it’s important to help clients regain perspective of situations that they may perceive as the most daunting or unpleasant in their lives.”. Ms. Abernethy tells her clients that, while the divorce process can be long and difficult, they can still see outcomes that they want.. “I tell them that, if they are strong and remain as rational as possible, things will go as smoothly as they can. I hope that they depend on me during this time to do the best job I am capable of doing in helping them achieve what they want,” said Ms. Abernethy.

Louisa Schlieben provides her clients with committed, empathetic, straight-forward representation, focused on helping them navigate challenging circumstances so that they can move their lives forward in a healthy way.. Since transitioning to family law in 2015, Louisa has gained experience in issues concerning divorce, parenting time and decision making (custody), child support, emergency motions, child abuse and domestic violence. She has handled complex jurisdictional matters, high asset divorces, support cases involving unconventional income sources, international and interstate abductions involving the FBI and the State Department, and emotionally wrought matters involving non-parent intervenors. Through it all, she has witnessed the best and very worst that these situations bring out in people.. Always ready to fight for the underdog, Louisa’s approach to her work is informed by her training as a public defender. She started representing clients while still in law school, working with the Alaska Public Defender Agency and the Legal Aid Society in New York City under a student license, then moved to Denver after law school to become a deputy public defender. These experiences provided her with exceptional mentorship, as well as the opportunity to represent hundreds of clients facing traffic, misdemeanor and felony charges, and to try over a dozen cases to juries before the one-year anniversary of her bar admission.. As a native Ney Yorker, Louisa was surprised to learn she was as at home in Alaska’s interior and Denver Colorado as she was in her hometown. But her path to a legal career was different than most attorneys. One of five children, Louisa grew up in a redlined neighborhood of what was then considered Harlem. She was a dedicated student of classical ballet from the time she could walk until she was seventeen years old, performing as a child with the New York City Ballet and the American Ballet Theater. She is fluent in German from spending elementary school at a German language school in White Plains New York, she spent middle school at an elite private all-girls Catholic school on an employee scholarship, then attended two different performing arts high schools before graduating from the Waldorf school her Grandfather once ran. She worked full time to pay her way through Hunter College (CUNY), spent a year working for one of the first women to graduate law school, then attended the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law on a full academic scholarship.. Louisa has lived the experiences of many modern families. She knows it takes courage to entrust a stranger (especially a lawyer) with the most important aspects of ones life: their long-term financial security, the wellbeing of their children, and sometimes even their physical safety. She believes in collaborating with her clients throughout their case to find the best path forward for their unique circumstances and always strives to put children first. You can trust that Louisa will not judge you for your confidences or your tears. Louisa will always be honest with you and will fight hard for your interests.

My approach to law is client-focused and client-driven. I identify first and foremost with the idea of the lawyer as a counselor and expert advisor. My diverse background in a variety of types of law allows me to competently and coherently explain a client's matter to them and I am committed to giving my best efforts to maximize my client's position in any situation. My approach to law and life is holistic in the sense that I believe all practice areas inform one another. I prefer to find collaborative win-win solutions if possible.. My current focus is probate, estate administration, and estate planning. I have guided many families through the confusing (and necessary) process of receiving Court approval for settlements involving minor children. I also devote a good portion of my practice to drafting documents including pre- and post-nuptual agreements and estate planning documents.
