Overview

"I am a former Colorado felony prosecutor with over 25 years legal experience. I am and here here to listen and help you with your criminal defense, family law issues and child custody cases.

I take pride in getting to know about my clients and their lives, so the prosecution and courts don't just treat them like a number. I don't shuffle my clients off to younger associates. I personally handle all my cases. I am a zealous and passionate advocate for all my clients, many of whom stay in contact with me after their cases are completed.

After graduating college, I worked as an investigative reporting covering police and courts, including major criminal and civil cases and police investigations. This led me to transition in 1993 to law school.

I began my career as a prosecutor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with the 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office. After honing my trial and negotiation skills in county and felony court, in 2000 I moved to the Denver metro area, and was hired as a felony prosecutor in the Family Violence Unit in the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office.

I served as a felony prosecutor handling major criminal cases until 2007, when I was hired as a Senior Attorney and Director of Investigations with Qwest Communications, a Fortune 500 telecom company. After Qwest was purchased by Century Link, I returned to the District Attorney's Office in Jefferson County, where I served in felony court and the Special Victims Unit and was on the officer's homicide case rotation.

In 2014, I left the District Attorney's Office and brought my extensive trial and litigation experience to my own law firm. In 2016, I became partners with Todd Narum, an experienced and well-skilled family and criminal defense attorney whom I had tried a case against while a prosecutor.

Todd and I co-manage a boutique law firm and pride ourselves on providing personal attention to all our clients. We are here to listen and help you."
