About Jennifer
Biography
I graduated from Arizona State University in 2006 with my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Spanish Language. In 2011, I received my Juris Doctor degree from the Phoenix School of Law. After graduation, I moved to Boulder and am admitted to practice law in both Colorado and Arizona.
After moving to Colorado I gained experience in criminal law working as an associate criminal defense attorney. I appeared in court across the state on a daily basis. Being bi-lingual was a tremendous asset as my clients were primarily Spanish speaking. In 2013, I began an apprenticeship at Willoughby and Associates, a premier family law firm in downtown Denver.
I have experience not only in complex dissolution cases but also in same sex adoption, gender and name changes and grandparent rights.
I joined the Burnhaw Law Firm, P.C. in August, 2014 as an associate practicing Domestic Relations.
I handle dissolutions and post-decree matters and enjoy being a source of comfort and guidance to families going through difficult times. I am sensitive to client’s needs while still firmly managing their expectations.
When I am not busy helping Colorado families, I may be found hiking, learning my Husband’s native language, Farsi, and baking one-of-a-kind birthday cakes for family and friends.
I give back to the community by volunteering annually as a judge for Colorado Mock Trial competitions.
Strategic, Aggressive & Effective Family Law/Divorce Litigator. Named Top 40 Under 40.
