Championing Justice, Fighting For You!
Attorney Profile / Perfil de Abogada
Samantha Tirado
Managing Attorney
Licensed in Colorado and Kansas
Growing up in Spanish Harlem as the daughter of Puerto Rican parents, I learned early on what it means to overcome barriers. As a first-generation college graduate, single mother, and the first attorney in my family, my path to establishing Tirado Law Office has been shaped by resilience and determination.
After graduating from Washburn University School of Law and passing the Kansas bar in 2012, I practiced family law before transitioning to a successful 15-year career in Human Resources leadership. This unique combination of legal education and extensive HR experience now fuels my practice, offering clients insights few attorneys possess. I understand workplace dynamics, employment law, and organizational challenges from the inside out.
My life experiences have profoundly shaped my approach to legal practice. When I found myself as a single mother facing wage garnishment, I filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This personal journey through financial hardship gives me a deep understanding of what my clients face when they come to me for bankruptcy assistance. I know firsthand the stress, fear, and uncertainty that comes with financial struggle, and I bring that empathy to every bankruptcy case I handle.
As a bilingual advocate fluent in Spanish, I'm passionate about making justice accessible to our diverse community. I practice consumer bankruptcy law exclusively where I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to each case.
My vision for Tirado Law Office extends beyond legal representation. It’s about honoring my family's legacy, particularly my father who proudly told friends "My daughter is a lawyer" during his final days, and my grandmother whose encouragement "Yo voy a ti" ("I'm rooting for you") still guides me today. Every client who walks through our doors receives this same commitment: I am fighting for you, believing in you, and dedicated to overcoming the barriers that stand between you and justice.

Crecí en el Spanish Harlem como hija de padres puertorriqueños y aprendí desde muy joven lo que significa superar barreras. Como la primera en mi familia en graduarse de la universidad, madre soltera y la primera abogada en mi hogar, mi camino para establecer Tirado Law Office ha sido moldeado por la resiliencia y la determinación.
Después de graduarme de Washburn University School of Law y pasar el examen de abogacía de Kansas en 2012, ejercí derecho familiar antes de dedicarme a una carrera de 15 años en liderazgo de Recursos Humanos. Esta combinación única de educación legal y experiencia en recursos humanos ahora impulsa mi práctica, ofreciendo a los clientes perspectivas que pocos abogados poseen. Entiendo la dinámica del lugar de trabajo, el derecho laboral y los desafíos organizacionales desde adentro.
Mis experiencias de vida han dado forma a mi enfoque legal. Como madre soltera que enfrentó embargos salariales, presenté una bancarrota del Capítulo 7. Este recorrido personal me permite comprender profundamente a los clientes que buscan mi ayuda. Sé lo que es el estrés, el miedo y la incertidumbre, y llevo esa empatía a cada caso que manejo.
Como defensora bilingüe y fluida en español, me apasiona hacer que la justicia sea accesible para nuestra comunidad diversa. Mis áreas de práctica incluyen bancarrota, derecho laboral, y lesiones personales*, donde aporto tanto mi experiencia profesional como comprensión personal.
Mi visión para Tirado Law Office va más allá de la representación legal. Se trata de honrar el legado de mi familia, en especial a mi padre, quien en sus últimos días decía con orgullo "Mi hija es abogada", y a mi abuela, cuya frase "Yo voy a ti" sigue guiando mi camino. Cada cliente que entra por nuestras puertas recibe el mismo compromiso: lucharé por ti, creeré en ti y me dedicaré a superar las barreras que se interponen entre tú y la justicia.

You can certainly shop around for other, more experienced, award-winning attorneys or hire a large firm to handle your case. I offer competent, client-centered advocacy with compassion. When you hire Tirado Law Office, you won’t be just a number or a case file.

I walk you through every step of the process with compassion and clarity because I have been in your shoes. I know what questions you have, what fears keep you up at night, and what information you actually need (not legal jargon that leaves you more confused).
