About Nelissa
Biography
I focus exclusively on family law and am passionate about getting my clients the best possible outcomes. I am well-versed in all aspects of family law, including high-asset divorce, amicable divorce, contested divorce, child custody, spousal maintenance/alimony, common law marriage, and post-decree issues.
One of my great strengths is in litigation. If your divorce is going to trial, I am one of the most experienced courtroom lawyers in family law in Colorado. I spent the first decade of my career practicing criminal law and took over 80 cases to trial.

Nelissa Danelle Milfeld's Lawyer Endorsements
"Nelissa Milfeld was my supervisor while I interned with the public defender’s office in Boulder. I had the honor of working with her on a case and learned a lot from her unique ability to seemlessly balance both a gentle humanism with an effective and aggressive advocacy for her clients. Her clients undoubtedly benefit from so rare a spectrum of talents."
"Nelissa is a fierce and compassionate advocate. While some attorneys focus on either pre-litigation plea agreements or trial work, Nelissa has the experience, intelligence, and drive to excel at both. I would not hesitate to recommend Nelissa to anyone seeking a phenomenal criminal defense attorney."
"Nelissa is an extraordinarily talented attorney. She will litigate aggressively or negotiate creatively to obtain the best possible outcome in every case that she handles. You are in great hands if you are one of Nelissa's clients."
"Nelissa is a great lawyer. She is a climber and it shows in how she practices - strong, methodical, healthy fear that drives her to success."
"I endorse this lawyer. Nelissa is a highly experienced attorney who combines aggressive and zealous ability as a trial lawyer with compassionate and personalized client service."
