About ME
Jennifer has been trained in Collaborative Law since 2020 and has worked with many clients to achieve favorable results through that model of practice, particularly in cases involving complex financial estates.
Jennifer has been licensed in Colorado since 2000 when she began her career as a transactional and litigation attorney in several large, national firms. Unique among family law attorneys for her diverse legal background, Jennifer gained valuable experience early in her career working on mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, and complex, commercial cases. Jennifer was first introduced to family law in her role as a staff attorney at the Colorado Court of Appeals, where she drafted appellate opinions in family law and dependency and neglect cases. Drawn to this area of practice as a way to make an immediate impact on client’s lives, Jennifer has practiced family law exclusively since 2016.
In addition to her practice at Griffiths Law, Jennifer serves as a mock trial coach for Kent Denver School and is an active member of the Colorado Bar Association Self Represented Appellate Program, which matches qualified applicants with pro bono attorneys to pursue appeals in the Colorado Court of Appeals.
