Linda began her paralegal career in Michigan in 1982 where she worked for a defense firm that specialized in personal injury and civil litigation. Thereafter she joined a firm specializing in plaintiff personal injury and civil litigation. Linda's experience working with the two different firms provided her with a good understanding of both sides of the law. Linda moved to Longmont, from Traverse City, Michigan in June of 2012. Upon moving to Longmont, she worked for a personal injury/civil litigation firm in Boulder for three years before moving to family law litigation in Longmont. Linda joined the firm in April of 2020 to return to her personal injury/civil litigation roots.

Chelsea began working in the legal field in 2016 as a temp legal receptionist at a firm in downtown Boulder.

Domestic Relations cases are important to her and she feels driven to provide the best support she can during what can be some of the most challenging times of people’s lives.

Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Reese later moved with her family to Bellevue, Washington before ultimately settling in Colorado. She has a special interest in family law, inspired in part by her family’s personal connection to adoption. She is drawn to the human side of legal work and values helping clients through meaningful and often emotional transitions.

Outside of law school and the office, Reese enjoys fishing, snowboarding, and gardening. When she’s not outside, she can often be found knitting or spending time with her cat, Boots and German shorthair, Skeeter.
