Attorney | Coach | Mediator

Biography

Tia Zavaras is the founder and CEO of Evolved Law, a modern litigation and dispute resolution firm built on the belief that legal strategy must evolve alongside the complex human dynamics that drive conflict. She is also the founder of Paws & Justice Law, the firm’s animal law division addressing pet custody, dog bite defense, and related animal law matters.

Before transitioning to her current practice, Tia worked as a construction defect litigator, handling high-stakes commercial disputes. She now applies that litigation background to complex divorce, high-conflict parenting matters, and other civil disputes.


Tia is a certified mediator, certified Parenting Coordinator/Decision-Maker (PC/DM), and certified divorce coach, integrating these disciplines to support both legal strategy and client stability during litigation. She regularly collaborates with attorneys and legal professionals across Colorado and nationwide on litigation strategy and client coaching in matters involving trauma, intimate partner violence, coercive control, and high-conflict parenting disputes, including allegations of parental alienation and parental harm.


She has received specialized training through the University of Illinois to identify domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, and coercive control through structured interview and legal assessment protocols designed for use by attorneys and other legal professionals. Her work focuses on the intersection of litigation strategy, behavioral dynamics, and the emotional realities that often shape high-conflict litigation.

Avoid Common Pitfalls

Tia’s acute awareness of the emotional and financial consequences of drawn-out litigation and trial gives her unparalleled knowledge of how the judicial system works and does not work for litigants, families, and children.

Bring Peace to High Conflict Cases

Tia has experience skillfully navigating even the most complicated, high-conflict divorces. No matter what your divorce brings, rest assured Tia will help you find peace for yourself and your family throughout the process. 

Save Money for Your Future

Divorce doesn’t have to be financially devastating. Tia will help you make the right moves, so you don’t needlessly rack up legal fees. 

“I won’t let this divorce destroy you financially or emotionally. In fact, I believe you can emerge stronger than ever before.”
