Biography
I went to undergraduate school at Western Illinois University and then attended law school a De Paul College of Law. After graduating from DePaul, I went on to become a Colorado public defender and gained some excellent hands-on experience. It didn’t take long, though, for me to realize that I wanted to expand my horizons. I decided to enter private practice so that I could take on a more versatile caseload.
I started working at the Stout Law Firm where I learned to practice criminal law as a private attorney. I also began my practice in Family Law. Over the years I was able to learn to become a better lawyer from both areas of law.
Since then my family law practice has grown. I later joined the Law Offices of Shawn H. Smith. I have been working here since 2022 handling primarily Family Law Cases, but still keeping some criminal law and restraining order cases on my docket.
