Bailey D. Nelson’s practice is focused exclusively on family law related matters, including petition for dissolution of marriage, allocation of parental rights, post-decree disputes, high asset-high conflict divorces, child support and military retirement. A seasoned, versatile, and compassionate family law attorney, Bailey is as comfortable and effective at the mediation table as she is in the courtroom.

Bailey’s approach to her practice involves compassion, curiosity, empathy, vigorous advocacy and transparency. She knows how vital it is for an attorney to be an active listener, maintain a sense of humor and think quickly, while being fluid and passionate for her client’s interests. Bailey understands the stresses and complexities of family law cases are much higher than in other practice areas, and the effects from them can be tiring for all family members.

Upon receiving her Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law, Bailey pursued work as a prosecutor throughout Colorado. This role allowed her to gain confidence and hone her command in the courtroom. Bailey spent six and a half years as a prosecutor, and during that time she tried more than 60 jury trials and attended thousands of hearings, including extensive and complex child and financial issues.

Today, Bailey sees many of the same underlying issues within her family law practice, and she is well-equipped to help her clients navigate the legal landscape in an emotional process. Unlike other practice areas, family law allows Bailey to get creative with solutions as she works toward a favorable outcome for her clients.

Outside of the courtroom or the mediation table, Bailey enjoys skiing, alpine climbing, and trail running. Bailey tries to collect as many stamps as she can on her passport, enjoys hosting dinner parties, spoiling her Yorkie, and adding to her colossal collection of cookbooks.
