Meet Our Team
Erica Kasemodel
(“Kase”)
Erica Kasemodel received her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at Western Michigan University in 2011. Following this, Erica spent two years working substantively in the criminal justice field before pursuing her Juris Doctorate. During that time, she worked for a year as a corrections officer at a medium security male prison and another year working in probation as a case manager. She attended law school at the University of Colorado Law School, graduating with a certificate in Family Law, many accolades for winning multiple championships in trial competitions, as well as acquiring a variety of real-life jury trials under her belt before even graduating law school.
After graduation, she worked for a year in a fellowship at the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, where she worked in both the Consumer Protection and Criminal Justice sections. During that first year of practice, she second-chaired and won a jury trial in a multiple co-defendant case involving a 30+ count indictment involving racketeering charges under the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act.
In 2017, she was hired as a Deputy District Attorney at the Eight Judicial District Attorney’s Office in Fort Collins. Between 2017 and 2024, Erica worked her way up from trying misdemeanors to felony cases, then specialized in prosecuting felony-level sex offense and child abuse cases, before becoming a supervisor of the new deputies where she spent a year and a half training the newest attorneys in litigation techniques and trial strategies.
She has prosecuted cases ranging from misdemeanor level charges such as careless driving (sometimes resulting in injuries or death), theft, criminal mischief, driving under the influence, domestic violence, assault, child abuse, animal abuse, unlawful sexual contact, invasion of privacy, and indecent exposure, to a wide variety of felony cases, spanning charges such as burglary, assault, aggravated robbery, tampering with physical evidence, domestic violence felonies, vehicular assault, vehicular eluding, aggravated motor vehicle theft, sexual assaults, sexual abuse against children, sexual exploitation of children, failure to register as a sex offender, stalking, felony child abuse charges, child homicides, and first degree murder.
Not only does she have the litigation experience of prosecuting all of those types of cases in front of judges and juries, she also has the critically important experience of helping support and empower victims of crimes as they walk through the overwhelming, intimidating, and sometimes retraumatizing experience of the criminal justice system while they are simultaneously dealing with their grief or trauma from what happened to them.
Similarly, at ELK Law, Erica will be able to take on the fight for you when you need someone strong, will be able to empathize and hold space for you when life is unfair and hard, will be able to advise you and empower you for a better tomorrow, and will be there championing you and cheering you on when you succeed.
She will bring the wealth of knowledge from her eight years of legal experience to ELK Law and all of her clients will greatly benefit from all of her expertise in the areas of litigation, legal research, fierce advocacy, and interpersonal skills that she has acquired thus far in her career.
Grey Groothoff
Grey received a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology and a Minor in Hearing-Language Sciences from the University of Kansas in 2020. She went on to receive Paralegal and Alternate Dispute Resolution Certificates from the Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2021. Grey did contract paralegal work after receiving her certificate, revamping an entire practice as the solo paralegal. After doing contract work, Grey spent almost three years working for the 8th Judicial District Attorney’s Office in Fort Collins, focusing on misdemeanor and traffic cases in the County Court Division. Grey has a deep-rooted passion for culture and uses it as a connecting point to empathize, understand, and support people as they navigate legal matters.
Grey serves as ELK Law’s sole paralegal and business manager and is hoping to attend law school in the future to ascertain a Juris Doctorate and practice in the areas of Family Law and Civil Litigation.
