About Michelle L.
Michelle L. Searcy built her academic foundation at Colorado State University, where she earned a B.A. in Speech Communication in 2001. She stayed in Colorado to study law and received her J.D. from the University of Colorado Law School in 2006. Those years in school placed her in the state where she would spend her career.
Searcy began practicing soon after law school. Her early roles included positions at small firms in the Denver area. In 2007 she worked at Pearson, Horowitz & Burnett, P.C., and two years later she was at Pearson & Paris, P.C. By 2011 she had moved to Pelegrin, Radeff & Frazer-Abel, P.C., continuing to handle the sorts of day-to-day and contested matters that shape a trial practitioner’s skill set. Her resume tracks steady movement through local firms and steadily increasing responsibility.
In 2018 Searcy joined Plog & Stein P.C. as an associate lawyer. The listing of Plog & Stein appears in public office records, and her time there is part of a long record of practice in Colorado. More recently, in 2022, she took an associate post at Halligan LLC. Those roles reflect work across several shops, exposing her to different firm cultures and client bases.
Throughout her career Searcy has maintained ties to the State Bar of Colorado. That membership is noted in directory information and is consistent with her continued practice in the state. Her professional history shows a lawyer who has remained local in practice, taking on varied assignments at small and midsize firms rather than moving into large national firms or academic posts.
Colleagues and clerical listings describe Searcy as a working lawyer who handles the routine demands of litigation and client counsel that keep a law office operating. She has alternated between firms over the years while staying in the same jurisdiction. The pattern suggests a practitioner comfortable managing caseloads, drafting filings, and appearing in state forums when required.
Searcy remains a member of the Colorado bar and continues to practice law in Colorado, maintaining an office affiliation with Plog & Stein P.C. Her current work is centered on serving clients in matters heard in Colorado courts and agencies.
