    Jennifer Workman

    Jennifer Workman is an experienced attorney at The Harris Law Firm with over a decade of experience practicing family law and estate planning. A Colorado native and a child of divorce, her connection to family law began at a young age. That deep and personal understanding of how divorce can affect a child and family led her to pursue a career in family law. Jennifer has dedicated her entire career to family law and estate planning, beginning in law school, and has handled hundreds of cases throughout her career.

    Jennifer primarily focuses her practice on family formation matters including adoption, surrogacy, guardianship, conservatorship, and marital agreements involving complex, high asset arrangements. Jennifer is especially experienced in handling stepparent, kinship, custodial, and international adoptions. She has successfully handled numerous multi-day, contested adoption trials, and has even taught judges how to manage and navigate adoption cases. Additionally, Jennifer is a skilled estate planning attorney, having drafted intricate trust documents, wills, and other key estate planning instruments such as medical and financial power of attorneys and living wills.

    Jennifer is adept at handling all types of family law cases including issues of parenting time, complex financial matters and divorces involving premarital agreements, third party allocation of parental responsibilities, grandparents’ rights, and military divorce matters. Jennifer has handled dozens of military divorce matters, successfully argued both for and against military survivor benefits, and has an excellent track record of assisting clients in navigating survivor benefits in divorce cases. Lastly, Jennifer has represented parents in Dependency and Neglect cases and assisted Guardian Ad Litem attorneys with their cases.

    At the University of Colorado at Boulder Law School and Charlotte School of Law,, Jennifer served as the founding member and president of the Member of the Military Advocacy Law Society, a member of the Family Law Legal Society, Child Abuse and Neglect Clinic, and served as the Social Club Chair for the Student Bar Association. Jennifer is currently a member of the Public Policy Committee with the Kempe Foundation, and is a member of the Family Law Bar Association and Estate Planning Bar Association. Throughout her practice, Jennifer has volunteered for Metro Volunteer Lawyers, Colorado Lawyers Committee, Wills for Hero's, and Veteran Benefits Free Legal Clinic.

    Hear From Jennifer's Happy

      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.
      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
      It was easy, fast, and had made our transition seamless
      “Jennifer did an amazing job helping guide us through our adoption process. It was easy, fast, and had made our transition seamless.”
