About Emily
Biography
Emily was born and raised in Houston, Texas, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Houston with a dual degree B.S. in Criminal Justice and Psychology. After undergrad, she moved to Denver where she attended University of Denver Sturm College of Law and graduated with multiple honors and in the top 12% of her class.
After law school, she began working for a firm where she specialized in litigating fair housing complaints, employment law and breach of contract claims. After a highly-publicized trial that resulted in a favorable verdict, she was recruited by a high-profile firm where she litigated complex first and third-party liability and bad-faith cases from the Plaintiff’s perspective. Eventually she realized she was prone to a defense-oriented mindset, and she made the switch to defense work.
Emily joined Lasater & Martin in 2016 with extensive experience litigating and defending cases involving personal injury, wrongful death, premises liability, subrogation, first and third-party bad-faith and workers’ compensation. She specializes in cases where injury causation is highly contested. She also travels the country presenting to youth sports organizations and associated conferences on various pertinent topics. Recently, Emily was named as a "Top 40 Under 40 Litigation Lawyer in Colorado" by American Society of Legal Advocates.
Obsessed with traveling the world and completing her 100 item adventure-bucket list, when she’s not working you can typically find her in a remote destination on the other side of the world. If she’s not on a remote beach or island, she’s likely on a volleyball court somewhere in the country, as she’s often touted as an elite volleyball coach and actively works in the nationally staffed Olympic pipeline for USA Volleyball. Emily is also member of the USAV Rocky Mountain Region’s Board of Directors.

Very caring and knowledgable
I found Ms. Gordon to be very good at what she does. She was excellent in court and you could tell had studied her homework prior to trial. She fairly billed me, and even helped me out with the bill when I needed it. I would recommend her to anyone.
