About Colette
Biography
Colette is a compassionate, fearless advocate for our clients. While she focuses on working with the intention of resolving disputes by any means available, she never shies away from litigation to get her clients every bit of what they deserve. Coming from a family with several attorneys, Colette decided early on that she would focus her passion on becoming a family lawyer. She chose this path because she relishes being able to help people going through some of the most difficult times in their lives on a day-to-day basis.
In 2019, Colette earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Arizona before earning her J.D. from the University of Illinois-Chicago in 2022. Regardless of the case at hand, family law often delves into some of the most emotionally taxing periods in a person’s life. Colette possesses a remarkable ability to comprehend and empathize with her clients, an essential quality for an attorney in this field, and it is a quality she possesses in abundance.
Whatever your need is, Colette prides herself on her ability to educate, comfort and advocate for you. Through the good, the bad and the ugly, she will fight for you.
