Michelle is a native Coloradoan and effective Attorney active in the Eagle, Garfield, Summit and Pitkin counties for the past decade. Prior to moving here, she litigated family, property and contract disputes for fifteen years in Denver, CO., then taughht law school full time in Kansas and later as an adjunct law faculty at DU Sturm College of Law. Michelle now serves as an Attorney-Mediator and Arbitrator available virtually throughout Colorado.

​

​​In 2018 Michelle recognized the need for more collaborative and compassionate alternative dispute resolution services and transitioned to a solely on mediation and arbitration practice. Michelle now successfully helps parties resolve knotty family law, real estate and other contractual disputes. As a former litigator who worked closely with the Courts, she is especially effective in helping parties avoid needless litigation.

​During family mediations, Michelle is committed to providing families the necessary tools and long-term plans to support the whole family. Her astute knowledge of, and experience working in, the courts is invaluable in this hands-on, collaborative approach to conflict resolution. As a mother she understands that arriving at successful resolution is not a “one size fits all” situation. Michelle focuses on maintaining positive co-parenting and keeping family dynamics intact for the benefit of the parties and for their children's future.

In her previous law practice, Michelle managed hundreds of domestic relations, real estate, and contract cases, and worked in close collaboration with Colorado judges, magistrates and District court staff, expertly analyzing the pleadings of family and other civil law attorneys and recommending the most appropriate resolutions for Judges' Orders. 

​Using innovative approach to making problem solving and justice more available to everyone is not a new endeavor.

Michelle created and staffed one of the first Self-Representative Litigant Self Help Centers in Colorado, helping non-represented litigants fill our court forms, and delivering DIY workshops for parties appearing in court without an attorney. As a member of her District Court's Access to Justice Committee and participant in local Judicial District “Law Days” throughout seven Colorado counties, Michelle helped pro se litigants better achieve access to justice. Seeing a need to multiply awareness, Michelle trained local librarians to provide effective legal resource research in rural libraries for non-represented parties. Her efforts increased local community access to free legal resources, including legal advice and mediation services.

​​In all mediations, Michelle begins from the belief that compassion and understanding are at the heart of successful conflict resolution. She prides herself in her ability to help successfully guide clients through a very challenging experience. When maintaining a relationship is important, Michelle is successful in helping parties communicate effectively and with the least tension.
