About Emily Stevens (Fiscus)

Emily begins each case by seeking to understand her clients’ stories. Some clients’ stories center around their devotion to a position of employment and being treated unfairly by their employer. Other stories center around a person feeling called to do the right thing and act as a whistleblower reporting illegal conduct. Other stories detail the pain, loss, and forever change of life after an injury. In all of these scenarios, Emily is humbled to have the opportunity to speak her clients’ stories into action.

As a successful trial attorney, Emily excels in the courtroom. Emily has established a winning track-record after litigating approximately 30 trials to verdict. Emily began her career as an attorney with the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender, defending indigent clients facing serious felony and misdemeanor charges. This allowed for the development and strengthening of invaluable courtroom skills in the face of high-stakes litigation. Across dozens of trials, Emily showed excellence in voir dire, cross examination, and closing argument. She has litigated hundreds of hearings, secured numerous acquittals and dismissals, prepared countless cases for trial, and knows what it takes to win—all while keeping a client-centered approach at the heart of her practice. Emily’s talent derives from her intellectual strategy, tactical assessment, effective story-telling, hard work, preparedness, passion, and empathy. Emily also maintains a distinct awareness that the most favorable outcome for her clients may come through pre-trial resolution, which guides her focus and finesse in the art of negotiation. Emily prides herself on truly listening to her clients and takes great honor at the privilege to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them to provide sound counsel, zealous advocacy, and excellent representation.

Emily attended Emory University for law school, where she graduated with honors in the top 15% of her class.
