Susan J. Ellender

Susan J. Ellender graduated from Baylor University with a BA in Psychology & Sociology in 1993. She spent five years working in counseling and mental health before deciding to attend law school. In 2001 she graduated from the University of Montana School of Law and began her family focused legal career. Following her admittance to the Colorado Bar, she served as a Deputy District Attorney in Pueblo, where she was assigned to the family violence unit and aggressively prosecuted domestic violence and child abuse offenders and served as the domestic violence liaison to the community. Additionally, she taught child abuse and domestic violence law to new officers at the Pueblo Police Academy.

In 2003 she moved to the Denver metro area, entered private practice, and has since devoted herself to the exclusive practice of child and family law. She has represented parents, grandparents, legal guardians and children in countless divorce, custody, paternity, child support, and dependency and neglect cases. Her qualifications include extensive experience in addressing complex issues such as abuse and neglect, drug and alcohol addiction, developmental delays, mental health concerns, and domestic violence as they impact the family unit.

In addition to her devotion to families, children, and the law, Susan is also a full time mother to her son. In her spare time she enjoys cooking & gardening, is an avid soccer fan and supporter of the Colorado Rapids and can often be found at the barn riding her horse or competing at hunter-jumper horse shows.
