Steven Hill
Growing up in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood, Steven Hill’s understanding of family dynamics began on the passenger side of his mother’s car. As a dedicated social worker and the founder of the Colorado Family Centers, Kathy Hill Young frequently brought Steven and his brother along on weekend emergency calls, relying on them to keep children entertained while she helped parents navigate severe domestic crises. Though Steven went on to earn an environmental engineering degree at UNLV and planned on pursuing medical school, a spur of the moment decision to take a practice LSAT with a fraternity brother reshaped his path. He earned his law degree at the University of Colorado Law School, eventually dedicating his practice to family law as a direct continuation of his mother’s legacy and her lifelong mission to protect vulnerable families.
Licensed in Colorado state, county, and federal courts with over two decades of legal experience, Steven guides clients through complex divorces, allocation of parental responsibilities, guardianships, and conservatorships. Known for his candid demeanor and steadying presence during chaotic moments, Steven approaches each case with complete transparency about the strengths, weaknesses, and realistic paths forward. Having spent decades managing high-conflict disputes, his primary focus is taking the panic out of the legal process and ensuring his clients know they have a relentless, competent advocate fighting in their corner.
Steven’s commitment to family advocacy extends well into his community work. He serves as Board President of the Families Forward Resource Center, an organization where he has volunteered for twelve years to support local programs providing utility assistance, food pantries, and infant health resources to Denver families in need. He is also an active member of the Sam Cary Bar Association and previously served six years on the board of the Denver Waldorf School.
What you might not know: Outside the courtroom, Steven approaches life with an open-minded philosophy: try every new experience, place, or food exactly three times. In his view, the first attempt is just getting over the surprise, the second is where you begin to understand it, and the third is when you know where you truly stand. That willingness to step into new experiences keeps life grounded and adventurous. A former college football player, his favorite hours are spent with his two kids—heading up to Boulder to visit his daughter at CU, or spending early mornings coaching, training, and exploring Colorado lakes with his teenage son.
