About Heidi Taylor
Heidi Taylor Troxell constructed her academic foundation throughout two states earlier than getting into the legal career.

Her early legal career took her to Colorado. In 2007 she joined the Colorado Public Defender's Office as a Senior Deputy Public Defender. There she gained courtroom experience representing clients in felony things, handling arraignments, motion practice and trials. The role demanded steady court decision under pressure and frequent contact with judges, prosecutors and clients.
The aggregate of social work training and legal education shaped how she approached cases. Her social work background informed her intake interviews and client assessments. It also influenced her view of mitigation and post-conviction wants. That point of view carried over into her day-to-day work as a public defender, the place knowing a client's background could affect case strategy.
Troxell later transitioned into private practice and now operates Troxell Law LLC. In private practice she continues to attract on her trial experience and familiarity with Colorado procedure. She has handled a range of criminal things and counsels clients thru each phase of a case, from preliminary charge thru disposition.
Outside the court she keeps expert ties. She holds membership in legal associations and remains engaged within the Colorado legal community. Colleagues describe her as pragmatic in the courtroom and thorough in preparation, characteristics that informed each her public defender work and her personal practice.
She is based in Colorado and accepts matters through Troxell Law LLC. She currently focuses her practice on felony protection and related litigation in Colorado courts.
