Safety

Members of all our communities (LGBTQ, BLM,  Immigrants, sexual abuse survivors, Trans) have unique stories;  most lawyers, don't know how to tell that story.  We do because it's our story too.  When you need a lawyer, you need one who gets it.

Our lawyers - care care care

We know how to tell your story; and how to explain your damages and what you've been through.  It's personal.

Litigators

Our staff/team members come from every corner our community.  Lawyers Michael O'Connell (they. them) and  Ellyn Rapaport (she/her) are fierce, proud and experienced.

Our Team

Ellyn Rapaport, Esq.  she/her.  Ellyn has always been a fierce advocate in the community. From fighting insurance companies to forcing a major medical institution to recognize human rights for transgender patients, Ellyn refuses to back down. She fights for those who need a voice. Ellyn is passionate about providing a safe space for all our communities when people have been injured or wronged by another person.  Ellyn brings a unique and personal perspective to every injury case she handles. Prior to attending law school, a drunk driver crashed into Ellyn’s vehicle at a high rate of speed.  As a result, Ellyn suffered significant and permanent injuries.  Ellyn began to rebuild her life and learn to live within her new limitations, dedicating her career to helping others who have been injured by drunk/careless/negligent drivers and others.  Ellyn and Michael form a legal dynamo that is a force to be reckoned with for our clients, allies, and cool people everywhere.

Michael O'Connell, Esq.  they/them.  Michael is a trial attorney of amazing energy and passion, with successful jury trials to verdict in courts all over the State of Colorado including: Jefferson, Douglas, Denver, Summit, Eagle, Pitkin, El Paso, Arapahoe and Boulder County District Courts; always for the the marginalized, the "different", and the damaged.  It's a thing with us.  Injustice pisses us off.  Like Ellyn, Michael is motivated and influenced by big tidal forces in life, as we all are.  Michael has been in the US Army (Airborne), interned at the National Institutes of Health, has attended school at The University of Pennsylvania, The University of Maryland, and the University of Maryland School of Law.  In their spare time, they also teach trial techniques at the prestigious Trial Lawyer's College.
