I became a personal injury attorney because the law lets me make a meaningful difference when someone’s life has been disrupted without warning.
I’m the owner and lead attorney at Schofield & Green Law, where I represent people facing serious injuries. I handle each case with strategy, honest communication, and advocacy, whether the best path leads to settlement, mediation, or trial.
My experience in large and small law firms shaped the practice I wanted to build. At a large firm, I saw how easily an injured person could feel like one case among hundreds. When I joined The Green Law Firm in 2013, I found a different approach—one where relationships mattered, clients received personal attention, and legal representation felt human.
After working with the firm for 10 years, I was offered the opportunity to purchase the practice. Becoming the owner of Schofield & Green Law allowed me to carry its legacy forward while creating a firm that reflects my values: compassion, accessibility, preparation, and sturdy representation.
I believe clients should never have to wonder what is happening with their case or feel uncomfortable asking a question. The legal process is unfamiliar to most people, and it arrives when they are already managing pain, appointments, missed work, and uncertainty. My role is to advocate for them while making the process clearer and less overwhelming.
I earned my Juris Doctor from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law and my Master of Business Administration from Washington University’s Olin Business School. That education helps me evaluate cases from both a legal and strategic perspective, but listening remains one of the most important parts of my work.
I don’t take every case, because I want to give each client the attention their situation deserves. When someone chooses my firm, I’m deeply aware of the trust they are placing in me.
My goal is to ensure every client feels valued, informed, and supported—and to fight for an outcome that helps them heal, rebuild, and move forward.
For nearly 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate one of the most stressful times in their lives.
I’m a Senior Litigation Paralegal at Schofield & Green Law, where I work alongside attorneys to guide personal injury cases from the very first conversation through litigation and, when necessary, trial. My background includes both plaintiff personal injury and insurance defense, giving me a well-rounded perspective that helps me anticipate challenges, stay a step ahead, and keep cases moving forward with purpose.
I’ve always believed that people deserve more than just legal guidance – they deserve to feel heard. A case is never just a file on my desk. Behind every medical record, every deposition, and every deadline is someone whose life was unexpectedly turned upside down. I never lose sight of that.
I love the strategy behind litigation. I’m naturally drawn to organization, solving problems, and finding the details that help tell the bigger story. Whether I’m coordinating experts, managing discovery, preparing for trial, or simply helping a client understand what comes next, I believe preparation builds confidence, and confidence makes a difference.
I earned my Paralegal Certificate, Associate of Science in Paralegal Studies, and Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies through National Paralegal College. Even after all these years, I still enjoy learning, growing, and finding better ways to serve both my team and our clients.
If there’s one thing I’d want someone to know about me, it’s this: I care. I care about doing things the right way. I care about the people who trust us during difficult moments. And I care about leaving every case better than I found it.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll usually find me tending to my ever-growing jungle of houseplants, watching a Colorado sunrise, or creating educational content that helps make the legal process a little less intimidating. Growth—whether it’s in litigation, in life, or in a plant pushing out a new leaf—is something I’ll probably always be fascinated by.
Every single personal injury claim in Colorado Springs is different, so it’s not easy to say that all cases will take two weeks or two months to complete. We work hard to find a reasonable monetary settlement and avoid going to court when possible. However, should your case need to go before a judge or jury, it could take a longer to resolve. Generally speaking, our team of accident lawyers takes several months to a couple of years to resolve your case where you’re getting the right amount of compensation.
Here are some other key elements you should consider and how they affect your case or how long you’ll need to partner with a car crash law firm:
At Schofield & Green Law, we understand the importance of resolving your case efficiently while ensuring that you receive the full compensation you deserve. We are committed to keeping you informed throughout the process, providing realistic timelines, and working hard to achieve a timely and favorable outcome. Your recovery and peace of mind are our top priorities, and we strive to handle your case with the utmost care and professionalism.
There’s a good chance that if you come to Schofield & Green Law with your personal injury case, we won’t need to go to court. Only a small percentage of our cases go to trial because most settlements occur before we ever have to prepare for court. Cases are settled out of court when our injury accident attorneys go through negotiations with a defendant’s insurance company.
Once you reach out to us for a free consultation, we’ll be able to judge how long your case may take to settle out of or in court. It depends on the timeline of your case, the extent of your injuries, how many parties are involved, and other factors. Some cases settle very early in the case which is a blessing for you and your family to receive compensation faster. Your personal injury lawyers can hold a settlement conference or mediation before your trial is scheduled to begin or even in the middle of it all. We’ll only settle for you when you’re getting what you’re entitled to.
There’s a chance you might be called to provide a deposition if we file a lawsuit in your case.. This part of the discovery process is where the other parties on the other side of the case have a chance to ask you questions under oath.
In litigation, depositions are common. You will likely be asked questions related to your injuries and also about background information or details about what led to you being hurt. You might be asked to share what happened leading up to your accident, how you treated your injuries, and how your life has been affected because of it all. If you do have to provide a deposition, our car crash law firm will guide you on how to answer to alleviate any anxiety you might have when called to speak. We’ll help you give clear, honest answers or accurate responses that could later be used as evidence in court.
This question is one that everyone has when they take on a car injury lawyer because it’s important! The only way we can provide you with a specific dollar amount is by having a chat with you to learn more about what happened to you. When you meet with us during this free consultation, we’ll consider factors like how severely you’re injured, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain/suffering. These are all very important in determining how much we’ll need to seek in damage or compensation tailored to your situation.
While we understand that life after any type of accident can be hectic, it’s important to reach out to us as soon as you can. If you’re unable to, you can always have a trusted member of your family contact us, too. Our car accident attorneys prefer to have early legal intervention to preserve any important evidence. Your personal injury claim will also be filed in a timely manner to ensure your rights are protected.
In Colorado, the statute of limitations usually means you have about three years to file a claim for an injury. We guarantee that by taking action quickly, you can positively impact your case so that a win is right around the corner. Please reach out and speak to us for free so we can learn more about each other.
You don’t want to navigate your personal injury case on your own if possible. Many insurance companies will see this as a weak point for your claim and take advantage of you by offering a too-low settlement. Our experienced personal injury attorneys won’t fall for their tricks or allow an insurance company to offer lower settlements to minimize their payout. It doesn’t matter how long it takes or how many rounds we have to go through; you’ll have an accident attorney always ready to review the offer and negotiate for a fair and just settlement on your behalf.
Contact Schofield & Green Law to reserve a date and time for your free consultation. During your case evaluation, we’ll listen to you and help alleviate any anxiety. You can ask us questions, and we’ll do the same of you. We take great pride in putting our experience to work for our clients, and we look forward to hearing from you — no matter how you were injured.
