About Stephen
Biography
Driven by a unique blend of analytical rigor and cultural fluency, I am a Colorado-based attorney specializing in family law litigation. My journey began with service as a Signals Intelligence Analyst and Russian Linguist in the U.S. Army, where I honed my critical thinking and problem-solving skills in diverse international environments, including Helsinki, Moscow, and North Yorkshire.
After earning my Bachelor's in History from the University of Colorado at Boulder, I further broadened my global perspective teaching at Jiangxi University in China. I then pursued my Juris Doctor from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, gaining invaluable practical experience while there.
My legal career has been defined by a commitment to effective advocacy and navigating complex litigation in state and federal courts across Colorado. My focus is on family law, where I recognize the sensitive and unique nature of each case. I prioritize understanding my clients' individual circumstances and strive to achieve favorable outcomes, whether through skillful negotiation or assertive courtroom representation.
Beyond my professional life, I cherish time with my beautiful family in El Paso County. We enjoy embracing the outdoor lifestyle that Colorado offers. I also enjoy reading history books and on the weekend, you are likely to find me watching Premier League and La Liga football matches.
I invite you to reach out to learn more about my legal services.
