  • Overview

Stephanie Velasquez

Stephanie Velasquez is a paralegal at The Harris Law Firm in Colorado. After going through a divorce in 2007, she realized that she wanted to help people through similar situations, so they could avoid as much confusion and heartache as possible. As a talented paralegal with our firm, she can do that and much more.

Fairly early in her paralegal career, Stephanie worked on a case that involved young parents, including a mother who struggled with substance abuse and sometimes abused her children. The young father was desperate to protect his children from further harm, so Stephanie rallied an entire team of legal professionals to file an immediate Motion to Restrict the mother’s parenting time. The court granted the motion and ordered supervised visits for the mother, much to the relief of the father and the children, before full parenting time and decision-making rights were ultimately given to the father. This sensitive and hard-fought case showed Stephanie the true importance of her work and how it could directly protect others from harm and discomfort; she holds on tight to the lessons learned in this case to this day.

Stephanie’s approach to a family law case is built on collaboration and support of the client’s best interests, as well as those of their children if they have any. When tensions are high and parties can’t agree, she uses a straightforward approach to settle nerves and provide honest, reliable answers. Having gone through a divorce herself, she can empathize with and understand any fears or concerns bothering a client and find the clearest way to resolve them. All the while, she stays focused on the strategic planning part of a family law case that requires the collective effort of a talented legal team.

Growing up in Denver, Stephanie attended South High School before going to the University of Denver, where she majored in Political Science. Next, she completed her B.S. in Criminology/Criminal Justice at Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Stephanie and her husband are very involved in their local community and that of the Colorado lowrider community. They belong to the oldest active car club in Denver, Showoff Car Club, own a rare cherry red 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible, and work with community leaders and other local car clubs throughout the year on various community projects. The car club has achieved significant milestones, notably hosting the largest Cinco de Mayo celebrations and parades in the country over the past several years. This remarkable accomplishment reflects Stephanie's dedication to fostering community spirit and engagement. In addition to the annual events, the car club continues to make a positive impact on the community through initiatives such as an Easter egg hunt, a Trunk or Treat event, a Halloween costume donation drive for children throughout the metro area, a Thanksgiving meal drive for families in transition, a Christmas toy drive, as well as a school supply drive.

When she is not working, Stephanie loves to work on her lowrider, read, spend time with her family, and try various forms of art, which includes taking amateur photos of the moon.

    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
