Lena Andrews

Lena Andrews brings a fresh voice to Burris, Nisenbaum, Curry & Lacy. In 2020, she joined as a law clerk. Her values and prior experience aligned well with our mission and culture. It seemed only natural that she rejoined our legal team in 2021 as a full-time attorney. Though Lena Andrews’ passion for law flourished at Burris, Nisenbaum, Curry & Lacy while she was a law clerk, it is not where her story began. She had already been actively pursuing matters involving criminal justice and civil rights in Colorado.

Prior to law school, Lena worked as a paralegal for a civil rights law firm in Denver, Colorado. In part, that experience cultivated the decision to obtain a law degree. During law school, she clerked with the Colorado Office of the Public Defender Complex Crimes Unit. There, she immersed herself in several important cases not to mention Colorado’s last death penalty case, People v. Dreion Dearing –– the death penalty was repealed in March 2020 in Colorado.
