Attorneys - Colorado Attorneys

Shelly Rosnik, Founding Partner

Prior to attending Denver University Sturm College of Law in 2004, I worked as a paralegal in premier Colorado law firms since 1999. My decision to become an attorney stemmed from my heartfelt passion for the law as I became more familiar with the legal field. During law school I had the opportunity to clerk for the 4th Judicial District and two other prominent law firms in the Denver area. Furthermore, I was the legal advocate at SafeHouse Denver helping non-citizen victims of domestic violence obtain U-Visas and VAWAs so that they would not be separated from their children.

Upon passing and being sworn into the Colorado Bar in 2007, I immediately opened my own practice. My practice continues to grow primarily from a wide referral base and community involvement. My firm is dedicated to serving Colorado with the passion and enthusiasm required to become the most sought after legal counsel. For 2010, I was awarded the “Best of the Best” by the Elbert County News and the Parker Chronicle. Read more about: Shelly Rosnik, Founding Partner…
