Tamara Vincelette

140 E. 19th Avenue, 3rd Floor , Denver , Colorado 80203
Practice Areas: Family
I like to help clients focus on moving forward, into the lives they want to live post-divorce, including being the best co-parents they can be.  I want to help them move away from the negativity they have often been living in for a long time before they call me.. Where it is possible, I like to help parents create the new structures that are going to support all family members.  The best court orders cannot tap into the creativity and problem-solving that parties, who know best what they need for themselves and for their children, can bring to the part of the process that takes place outside of a courtroom.

Steven O'Connor

Firm: Carlson, Edwards, and O'Connor, P.C.
975 N. Ten Mile Dr. , Frisco , Colorado 80443
Practice Areas: Family
CEO Partner Steven O’Connor was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, where he obtained his undergraduate degree in Political Science from DePaul University. While attending law school, Steven returned to Chicago during his summers, to work at the Domestic Violence Legal Clinic (DVLC), in the heart of the city’s west-side. While with DVLC, Steven worked as a practicing law student, representing indigent clients in order of protection proceedings, as well as proceedings in divorce and custody. During his time with DVLC, Steven became familiar with the dynamics of domestic violence, and the experience informs his practice on a daily basis.. While enrolled at the top ranked, tier one University of Colorado Law School - Boulder, Steven focused his studies on family law topics, as well as the art and practice of legal negotiation, under the instruction of CU’s Scott Peppet. Steven practiced in the University’s civil practice clinic, where he oversaw immigration, social security disability, and family law cases. Upon graduation from the University of Colorado, Steven was awarded a certificate in mediation, as well as the University’s Family Law Certificate, which is commonly awarded to only a handful of students who have sought out specific curriculum related to the field. Steven was also named a Schiller, DuCanto, and Fleck family law scholar, and was awarded the CALI Award for Constitutional Process, achieving the highest marks in his class in constitutional studies.. Steven was licensed to practice law in Colorado after successfully passing Colorado’s Bar Examination, and began working with the law firm of Carlson and Carlson immediately thereafter. In addition to his work at the Carlson firm, Steven performs contract and pro-bono work through the Law Office of Eric A. Fisher, in Frisco, and Gendelman Law Group, in Denver. Steven is a frequent participant in the fifth judicial district’s “Legal Resource Day,” which provides free legal services to litigants across the I-70 corridor. He is also a volunteer with Colorado Legal Services.. In addition to his pro-bono work for the community, Steven is the municipal prosecutor for the town of Georgetown and City of Leadville, and was formerly the prosecutor for the town of Minturn, which is now handled by CEO partner Courtney Edwards. Steven is also the associate municipal judge for the town of Frisco. He has been a contributing author to “The Practitioner’s Guide to Colorado Domestic Relations Law” for three years, and has taught CLE’s to legal professionals when solicited to do so.. Steven’s practice is family law centric - however, many issues can arise in that context. He is well-educated in a number of areas of law, including estate planning, criminal defense, civil litigation, appellate work, and business practices in addition to his work in domestic relations.. Steven’s practice is now and has always been primarily a high-country based practice. Steven lives in Dillon, with his wife and high-school sweetheart Ashley, and their german wirehaired pointer, Nixon. Steven can be found on the weekends crewing his sailboat with his wife/captain Ashley on the Dillon Reservoir or backpacking in the summer season, and skiing Breckenridge and Vail’s back-bowls in the winter season

Steven Lambert

Firm: Robinson Henry P.C.
11080 Circle Point Rd Ste 140 , Westminster , Colorado 80020
Practice Areas: Family, Criminal Defense
Robinson & Henry Associate Attorney Steven Lambert is a member of the firm’s Family Law Team. Steven’s passion for understanding the country’s governmental, bureaucratic, and judicial institutions inspired him to attend law school.. Steven has practiced various areas of law, including civil litigation, criminal law, government relations, corporate, and commercial law. Early on, though, he found himself gravitating towards the area of family law.. “It felt to me to be the most grounded in real life. In the practice of law, there is nothing more human than helping real people work through dissolution and custody matters,” Steven said.. In his legal practice, Steven has witnessed the spectrum of family law cases: high-asset, low-asset, high-conflict, very amicable, and everywhere in between. He uses this varied experience as he approaches each new case, no matter where his client is in the process or how the parties are relating to one another.. Steven takes a two-pronged approach to his client’s case. Professionally, he strives to be the most informed person about the facts of the case (apart from the parties themselves), as well as the most knowledgeable attorney regarding the laws pertaining to it.. Sometimes, cases involve nuanced areas of the law that are either completely new to the court or rarely litigated. When that occurs, Steven does not shy away from educating the court about the unique facts of the case.. Steven immerses himself with a case’s relevant facts and laws so when he steps into the courtroom or a settlement conference, he is prepared to obtain the best possible outcome for his clients and their families.. On a personal level, Steven tries to make himself as available as possible for his clients. He understands his clients are experiencing some of the most stressful times in their lives, so he ensures all their case information is available at his fingertips.. “Sometimes all it takes to ease a client’s nerves is a quick Zoom meeting or response email to reassure them of their case or explain a legal aspect of the law with which the client is not familiar. I strive to have each of my clients say that they feel better after speaking to me,” Steven said.. A Colorado native, Steven grew up in Leadville. He still visits from time to time to catch up with old friends and explore little-known facets of his hometown. During his free time, Steven enjoys spending time with his wife, Sydney, and their one-year-old son, Beckett. Steven plays the guitar and ukulele.. Steven’s Most Influential Case in His Own Words:. “There was a case out of Weld County that touched on the intersection of criminal and civil law. In this case, which ultimately gained global notoriety, I was able to assist my clients’ case by presenting various aspects of their legal and personal struggles to local and national news media, including an appearance on The Doctor Phil Show and various documentaries. Having such a small slice of life blown up to that scale demonstrated for me how special and sacred each individual life and case can be for those involved.”
