Our Team of Colorado Lawyers

Kathryn and Jenn started Path Forward Legal to help people who are accused of a crime in Colorado:

  1. understand the criminal legal system,
  2. find out the options and defenses available, and
  3. overcome the situation to set on a new path forward.

We come from different backgrounds and know our clients do, too. That’s why we work together to make sure we can meet the needs of our diverse, amazing community.

High school students, self-made entrepreneurs, and retirees can each be accused of crimes. The consequences of a bad result can affect college applications, professional licenses, and child visitation rights. We know that the best path to resolve a case may look different depending on your goals.
