Linda D. Phillips was born in Nurnberg, Germany in 1953.  Her military family lived all over the United States, but she calls Colorado home, having lived here over half of her life.  Ms. Phillips attended the University of Colorado in the early 1970's and received a bachelors degree in business administration from Regis University in 1999.  She received her J.D. from the University of Denver in 2003.

Ms. Phillips began practicing law as an independent contractor and formed Phillips Law Offices LLC in early 2005.  She worked with the Law Office of John H. Licht, an elder law attorney, and with the firm of Dean and Stern in Denver, Colorado.  Her practice centered on general business law (including corporate formations, contracts, commercial real estate, acquisitions, and employment law) and wills and trusts.
