    Carolyn Wiley

    Carolyn Wiley is an Attorney & Counselor at Law at The Harris Law Firm who serves clients from all four of our locations. A trusted advocate who has been featured in the Colorado Super Lawyers list of Rising Stars, she focuses her practice on matters involving estate planning, prenuptial agreements, marital agreements, and family law.

    Having long admired the work of human rights advocates around the world, Carolyn studied Political Science and International Relations at St. Olaf College before earning her Master’s degree in International Studies from the University of Denver, Josef Korbel School of International Studies. During her undergrad years, she worked for Minnesota Law and Politics, where she learned about local legal issues and cultivated an interest in the law. She earned her law degree from the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law.

    Over the course of her nearly 20-year career in law, Carolyn has become known as a highly capable and compassionate advocate. She prides herself on her ability to listen to clients, keep them informed about the progress of their cases, and engage in honest and productive conversations that allow them to manage expectations and make informed decisions. Carolyn is also known for her extensive insight in both family law and estate planning and works with many returning clients who seek her counsel for estate planning services once their divorce and family law cases have been resolved.

    In addition to her work protecting the rights and interests of clients, Carolyn has also held important volunteer roles in legal committees and organizations. This includes her time on the Premarital Agreements subcommittee and the Colorado Uniform Trust Code subcommittee of Orange Book Forms, a trusted publication that’s considered an essential handbook for Colorado estate planning attorneys. Carolyn is Co-Chair of the Statutory Revisions Committee for the CBA Trusts and Estates Section, which advises legislators about new legislation and changes needed in the law.

    Carolyn spent much of her formative years in Littleton, Colorado and Midland, Texas. A music lover and cellist, she enjoys going to symphony and chamber music concerts, reading, traveling, and spending time with her children and family. She is also active in her children’s schools.
