About Stephen

Stephen W — Vertucci is a dedicated family law attorney based in Fort Collins, Colorado. He earned his Juris Doctor from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2001, where he laid the groundwork for his legal career. After completing his degree, he joined Schiff & Hulbert, a regarded employment litigation firm. This initial experience allowed him to develop essential skills in legal analysis and client representation. However, his desire for courtroom experience led him to transition into family law, where he took a position at the law firm of Sullivan, Taylor & Gumina. In 2004, Vertucci made a significant career move by becoming a felony prosecutor for the state of Arizona at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.

During his tenure there, he developed his litigation skills, handling complex cases and gaining invaluable courtroom experience. His work as a prosecutor provided him with a unique perspective on the legal system, which he later applied to his family law practice. In 2007, Vertucci relocated to Colorado, where he was admitted to the Colorado Bar, adding to his legal credentials. In 2016, he established his own firm, The Law Office of Stephen Vertucci, LLC, located at 155 Boardwalk Dr., Suite 400, Fort Collins, CO 80525. This marked a pivotal moment in his career. This lets the attorney focus exclusively on family law matters.

His firm has since earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, reflecting his commitment to providing high-quality legal services to clients in need. Vertucci is admitted to practice law in multiple jurisdictions, including Illinois, Arizona, and Colorado, as well as before the United States Supreme Court. This broad scope of practice enables him to serve clients and address various legal issues. His experience in both prosecution and family law equips him with a knowledge of the challenges faced by families in legal disputes. In addition to his practice, Vertucci is actively involved in the legal community. He serves as a member of the Colorado Eighth Judicial District Domestic Relations Best Practices Committee, where he contributes to the development of best practices in family law.

His commitment to excellence in legal representation and his involvement in community initiatives underscore his dedication to serving families in Fort Collins and beyond. Through his work, Stephen W. Vertucci continues to make a positive impact on the lives of his clients, guiding them through some of their most challenging times.
