Chris Mendenhall

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND LEGAL ADMINISTRATOR

Chris’s life has meandered far from her degrees in sociology and elementary education from the University of Colorado but has now come full circle with the many years she put in as an administrator in the legal field after college. Between then and now, she honed her management skills by singlehandedly raising two children and operating a successful freelance office services business for a variety of clients, including Milgrom & Daskam. She joined M&D full time in 2020 and enjoys the responsibility of handling everything at a law firm besides the practice of law. Chris is also an active member of the Mile High Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators.

Chris has a strong passion for travel which once prompted her to take her work on the road while living in Europe for a year. While at home in her native Colorado, Chris enjoys skiing, hiking, biking, dancing, and perfecting her language skills in Spanish, Italian, and French.
