Denver, Colorado, February, 3rd – We are pleased to announce that attorney Joy Athanasiou has joined our firm as Of Counsel. Prior to joining our firm, Joy owned and managed the boutique firm Athanasiou Law Firm, LLC, with a practice focusing exclusively on immigration and naturalization law.

Joy has practiced immigration law for over 10 years with a focus on complex removal and family immigration cases.

In 2005, Joy was named a finalist in the Denver Bar Association/Denver Business Journal Best of the Bar Awards. Recently, one of Joy’s Pro Bono cases was featured in the Denver Westword.

Joy graduated from the University of Denver in 1998 with a Juris Doctor and a Masters in International Studies and obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Metropolitan State College of Denver in 1993.

In addition to her practice, Joy is a steadfast advocate for immigration reform and active in local, state and national political advocacy. Joy serves as the Co-Chair of the Legislative Advocacy Committee of the American Immigration Lawyers Association Colorado Chapter. She has lobbied at the state and federal level, testified at the Colorado legislature, lectured and written articles on immigration law and policy and worked on state and local political campaigns.
