Betty Tsamis, the founder and managing partner of Tsamis Law Firm, P.C. graduated from the University of Denver Law School with honors in 2001.
In law school, she clerked for the Denver District Attorney’s Office as well as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Ms. Tsamis spent her last year in law school conducting intensive directed research on the topic of fourth amendment law and racial profiling. Right out of law school, she worked as a municipal prosecutor and insurance defense lawyer. She also served as a fourth amendment legal consultant to the State of Colorado, teaching fourth amendment law and anti-biased policing to police officers throughout the State of Colorado.
Ms. Tsamis has represented clients in a wide range of cases including employment, personal injury/motor vehicle accident, and civil rights. She has worked on a number of high profile cases that have received wide media attention including the Jon Benet Ramsey case. She has served as inhouse employment counsel for two global companies and has worked as defense counsel. Because of her diverse legal experiences, Ms. Tsamis is an effective advocate for her clients and has been successful in obtaining early and fair settlements without the need for protracted litigation, trials, and appeals. However, she is fully capable and ready to zealously represent her clients in court when needed.
In addition to her law practice, Ms. Tsamis is a frequent lecturer and author on various legal topics.
