Chelsea Malone Attorney at Law Law Office of Chelsea Malone, LLC

My personal background has made me particularly sensitive to issues surrounding race, culture, and poverty. I was born in Seoul, South Korea and spent the first three months of my life in an orphanage. My mother, then a 25-year-old single Caucasian woman serving in the United States Army Nurse Corps, adopted me. One year later, my mother was employed by the Public Health Service and we moved to the Crow Indian Reservation in south-eastern Montana.

I grew up in very rural communities that were impoverished and underserved yet rich in Crow Native traditions, language, and extended family. Here I learned the values of community involvement and both self and cultural affirmation amidst school and social settings that straddled Crow and mainstream culture.

My earliest memories are of attending pre-school in an old trailer home. We ate commodity food and spoke in the Crow language. The Crow children called me “cheetbaashja” or “wolf eyes”, and I was often teased for being Asian. I looked different from my mother (Caucasian) and the Crow members of my family (father and sister). Despite these differences, my mother strived to teach me about Korean culture. She cooked bulgogi, enrolled me in Tae Kwon Do with a Korean instructor, and had Korean friends send traditional Korean hanboks to wear. I embraced my Korean heritage, but I also learned to respect cultural differences as well as the dynamics of overcoming adversity because I was influenced by so many.

At the University of Wyoming, I paid my way with violin and academic scholarships. I used my positions as President of the Asian American Pacific Islander Student Association and staff writer for the student newspaper to advocate for tolerance and acceptance of people from different backgrounds.

I earned my J.D. from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. Throughout law school, I made time to give back to the community through Habitat for Humanity, as a legal resource for SafeHouse Denver, and as a volunteer income tax assistant for low-income individuals.

As a Denver Public Defender, and now as a criminal law solo practitioner, I developed strong courtroom skills. I have focused my legal career on serving the indigent population of Denver, which comprises a significant portion of the litigants and defendants in Denver County Courts. I am an Alternative Defense Counsel contractor and the majority of my caseload consists of defendants charged with serious felonies in Denver County District Court. I enjoy coaching and judging high school mock trial students from racially diverse and less-affluent schools.
