    Dean Yocum

    Dean Yocum is an Attorney at The Harris Law Firm, where he helps Colorado families get through even the messiest and most contentious divorces. In the past, he worked with youth in detention centers and as a youth pastor who would support and console children who were struggling due to the challenges caused by living in a “broken” home. He is also a divorced parent himself. All these experiences eventually inspired him to become a family law attorney who also handles cases involving real estate law, tenant-landlord law, estate planning, and immigration law.

    The Yocum family has been in Colorado for many generations, including when ranches first started appearing on the Western Slope. For this reason, Dean feels closely connected to communities throughout the state, which inspires him to go above and beyond for every client he represents today. When he works on a case, he truly takes it to heart because he knows that he might be the only one who can help a family find a more comfortable future while also protecting their valuable land and assets.

    At Regis University in Denver, Colorado, Dean earned his MBA. After he decided to become a family lawyer, he completed his J.D. at Mitchell Hamline Law School in St. Paul, Minnesota. In law school, he was in the top third of his class and made the Class Dean’s List every semester. He also wrote a short paper for Homeless Youth Obtaining Self-Sufficiency and earned recognition from the Cali Awards for Family Law.

    When he can, Attorney Yocum volunteers with Solid Rock Youth Legal Ministries and Metro Volunteers. He is the former President of the Executive Board of Directors for Metro Brokers, Inc. Dean is also a member of the Colorado Bar Association and the Colorado Association of REALTORS.

    For fun, Dean mostly likes to spend time with his children. Specifically, he likes to spectate his daughter’s sports activities, including gymnastics, pole vaulting, and competitive diving, and he volunteers to be a passenger while his son accumulates his piloting hours.

    “Family law is personal. It’s high stakes. And it demands more than just legal knowledge — it demands grit, empathy, and a steady hand in the storm. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s the work my life has prepared me for — and when I stand beside a client, I’m all in.” – Attorney Dean Yocum

    Hear From Our Happy Clients

      I would like to thank the team for your patience with us through what has been a very difficult process for us both.
      “We had a successful conclusion to all of our work this morning. The court commented on the fine work that had been done using a combination of the collaborative process and our independent efforts. I would like to thank the team for your patience with us through what has been a very difficult process for us both.”
      - Mark
      I AM THRILLED and relieved and so ready to move forward.
      “I AM THRILLED and relieved and so ready to move forward. Thank you, everyone, for your hard work on behalf of my sweet daughter. God bless you!!”
      - Jeni
      My family and I deeply appreciate it.
      “Thank you both for everything you have done to help me have my daughter in my life. My family and I deeply appreciate it.”
      - Paul
      I followed your instructions to a T and felt completely prepared to state my case.
      “Dear Angie and Janet, I want to thank you for your incredible help and advice last week as I prepared for my emergency restricted parenting case for protection of my two children.”
      - Marisa D.
      He did not spend time wasting time and driving up the bill.
      “Dan Droege of the Harris Law firm handled a "grandparent right"s for us. From the initial intact through final resolution, Dan was thorough, professional, empathetic, and sensitive to our needs. He did not spend time wasting time and driving up the bill. He proceeded in a way that brought the "other side" to the table to obtain resolution thus avoiding a costly court battle. I highly recommend the Harris Law Firm in general and Attorney Droege in particular.”
      - James
      He was always honest with me about what to expect
      “I feel like choosing to work with The Harris Law Firm was the best possible decision I could have made for my representation in a difficult matter. I worked with Eric and was very impressed. He was always honest with me about what to expect and it was very spot on with the outcome. He also didn’t waste my time or my finances with excessive communication but was available for me and kept me informed about the status of my case. I also worked with the paralegal Julie and she was always very kind and efficient.”
      - Melanie
      These folks are highly recommended in my book
      “Jennifer and her paralegal Cat were outstanding. They communicated with me in a timely, respectful, and professional manner. Larry worked well with me by being flexible when I asked if I could wait to pay the bill since I knew we were finishing up my case. Jennifer is talented. I'm very pleased with her attention to detail and willingness to engage when I expressed that I didn't understand something. These folks are highly recommended in my book - I will certainly pass on this firm's name and my positive experience.”
      - I.R.
      I would choose them for any legal issue.
      “My first consultation with the Harris Law Firm (Jennie Wray) was an absolute delight. Jennie Wray helped me better understand my legal situation and patiently explained the various directions I could consider. Her extensive legal background offered insights into past legal precedent & court (judge) rulings. At the conclusion of the call she clearly explained the options for hiring her to handle my case - both the retainer fee & hourly charge. The Harris Law Firm is very transparent with their legal & billing services. I would choose them for any legal issue.”
      - Jimmy
      She is the best of the best!
      “I had an extremely complicated legal situation to maneuver and a very difficult, combative ex-spouse. Jennifer Workman was my attorney at Harris, and worked miracles in terms of handling my case and moving towards a settlement that has provided true freedom and peace of mind for me. She is the best of the best! I am confident that she could handle ANY other case, as mine was truly terrible and I had zero hope of settlement. It was a long road to get to this point, but I’m happy to say that I’m on the other side now. You will be too!”
      - Erica
