Experienced, Strategic, and Solutions-Oriented
Founding Attorney
Joanna Kitto
Joanna "Jo" Kitto has been licensed to practice law since 1998, practicing first in Chicago at a 200 attorney law firm, and later at a large law firm in Denver (McKenna & Cuneo and Perkins Coie). Ms. Kitto practiced accounting prior to law school, which informs her practice today. After founding her own firm, Ms. Kitto focuses her practice on family law, probate, and estate planning/asset protection. She also offers mediation and arbitration services. Ms. Kitto understands her role as a counselor who objectively assesses risk with clients, but also is poised to act as an advocate when dealing with other parties and the litigation-mediation process.
