About Lisa M. Dailey & Dailey Law

OWNER & ATTORNEY

Lisa M. Dailey

Lisa has strong roots in the local community, having lived in Colorado most of her life where she attended high school, college, and law school. Her practice reflects the relationships she has cultivated through her neighborhood and wider community connections.

Lisa’s father, Gary F. Dailey, moved to Colorado and opened a law office in the early 1960’s and continuously represented clients and their family members until he retired in 2019. Lisa enjoys representing many of those same family members with dedication, compassion, and services tailored to their specific needs which has been the hallmark of her practice for the past nearly 40 years.

Dailey Law is located in the rapidly expanding, vibrant downtown Colorado Springs neighborhood in the building which has been home to the law office for more than 50 years. Lisa enjoys supporting local business as well as art, music, and sports in the community. The office frequently features the work of local artists and is used as a gathering place for educational seminars and community connection.

Lisa spent many hours growing up riding horses in the beautiful Rocky Mountains and enjoys hiking and other outdoor activities. She loves to travel and has been to Peru, Iceland, and the Netherlands among many other interesting locales, but always looks forward to returning home to Colorado.
