Attorney Katharine Speer Rosenthal strives to connect personally with her clients to understand their goals and make a meaningful difference in their lives. She is proud to serve on the front lines protecting the rights of immigrants.
Ms. Rosenthal has lived and worked in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Bolivia. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, which helps her to communicate U.S. immigration law in understandable terms in both languages.
Ms. Rosenthal's client-centered approach focuses on excellent representation, tireless problem-solving, and clear communication with her clients. She believes every person has a right to an honest opinion, compassionate service, and the opportunity to make informed decisions about their life.
Community Involvement
Attorney Rosenthal has served as a consulting attorney to the Mexican Consulate in Denver and on the Executive Committee of Colorado Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA Colorado) from 2012 to 2018. She currently chairs the DMV and SSA Liaison Committee of AILA Colorado and serves on the Practice Management Committee. She also mentors volunteer attorneys through the Rocky Mountain Survivors Center (RMIAN).
Ms. Rosenthal serves as a Practice Monitor for the Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. In that role, she consults with other attorneys on improving their systems and processes to better serve clients, decrease stress, and enhance work satisfaction. She is also a mentor with the Colorado Attorney Mentoring Program (CAMP), which allows her to work one-on-one with attorneys either early in their career or at times of transition.
Ms. Rosenthal enjoys giving "myth busting" talks on U.S. immigration law and policy. Please contact us if you would like to request a presentation to your group.
