About Genevieve

Genevieve Schumacher is a litigation associate whose practice centers on civil rights, with particular depth in Section 1983 claims against government actors. She has litigated cases in federal district and appellate courts across the country, which means she brings a broader view of how these claims are argued and decided outside Colorado.

Genevieve does the work that decides civil rights cases well before trial: building the factual record, pushing discovery against agencies that would rather not produce it, and framing constitutional questions so a court has to engage with them. Her writing carries a significant share of the firm's federal motion practice.

She is committed to empowering clients and communities, and she treats a client's own account of what happened as the foundation of the case rather than a detail to be smoothed over.
