Melanie Jordan is an associate specializing in family law, bringing with her both a strong writing background and professional experience in crisis counseling and child advocacy. Prior to and during law school, Melanie worked as an advocate for victims of domestic violence and as a Case Manager for foster children, frequently testifying in court in dependency and neglect proceedings. Despite this, she managed to fall in the top 5% of her class, graduating with the high honor of membership in the Order of the Coif.

While in law school, Melanie also served for two years on the University of Colorado Law Review, where she further honed her understanding of the law and her drafting skills. As a student, Melanie focused on family law, completing an additional semester of coursework in juvenile and family law with honors. She also represented children as a Guardian ad Litem in the Juvenile Law Clinic, where she received a Clinical Education Award. Melanie was a member of the Rothgerber Moot Court Team.

Since joining our firm, Melanie has worked on cases that range from dissolution of marriage to post decree matters involving complex financial issues and contentious parenting time disputes.  Melanie also contributes to the community by volunteering with Project Safeguard, where she helps victims of domestic violence understand the legal process involved in divorce and child custody cases.
