The TSL team reflects diversity and variety while sharing a common goal. A lively and convivial group, they respect the importance of maintaining a personal life, allowing them to perform at the optimum level for their clients.

“We definitely play as hard as we work,” confirms Lee. “But then, usually when we’re playing (kayaking, hiking, ranching, iconic sites and golf), we’re also discussing work. Some of our best ideas or solutions come to us when we’re relaxed and enjoying ourselves.”

Whether by blood or sweat and tears, everyone at TSL is considered family. Each attorney brings his or her unique experiences, then, through seamless collaboration, they create a strategy for their clients.

“Our practices complement each other,” Phelps says, “so we can approach any situation from various perspectives. It’s a great exercise in bringing together different solutions and thinking creatively. I feel very fortunate to be a part of such a hardworking yet fluid team.”

Erickson, who had been clerking for the Special Water Master, was drawn to TSL because of the opportunity to learn from the best. “Lee Storey and Alexandra Arboleda have extensive experience in the adjudications and as a new associate, you want to work with and learn from experienced water attorneys,” he says. “I could see that TSL Law Group focuses on problem-solving for clients with water management needs both in the adjudications and extending to groundwater and Colorado River issues.”
