Colorado criminal defense and family law attorney Chloe Alder has a long track record of settling cases in her clients’ favor, thereby sparing them the time and expense of trial. She is also experienced in personal injury law and animal law.
Chloe explains how she handles her cases:
My approach to criminal matters is a pragmatic, reasonable, and realistic one. It is also passionate, especially when the evidence simply does not prove what the State intends to prove at trial. I do my best to make myself available for any questions or concerns my clients may have. My approach to family law cases is one that prioritizes the best interest of my clients first and foremost, and considers the best interests of the children throughout the litigation. My approach to personal injury matters is one of fearless advocacy to get the best result and outcome for my clients.
Chloe has a Certificate in Animal Law. She is an activist in many areas. She has two dogs and is a skier and avid reader.

2025 – People v. W.M. (Jefferson County): Client was charged with theft after attempting to take several items from a store.
