Megan J. Kondrachuk earned her J.D. at the University of Colorado Law School, and a B.A. in journalism from the University of Oklahoma. Megan is admitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and accredited with the VA. Megan previously worked in family law, with experience in trial work as well as appellate advocacy.
During law school, Megan clerked for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, and Sean Kendall’s Office. Megan enjoyed her time as a law clerk advocating for veterans and could not pass up the opportunity to work in this field again when it arose. Megan’s previous work in preparing and developing family law cases for trial has been an asset to her in preparing veterans’ cases for hearing and argument in front of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. The gratitude she is shown by veterans for assisting with their appeals makes every minute worthwhile.
In addition to her work in veterans’ benefits, Megan is involved with the Colorado Women’s Bar Association, the Colorado Bar Association's Military and Veterans Affairs Section, and the National Organization of Veterans' Advocates.
