Cindy Perusse

Family Law Attorney

With over 30 years of dedicated legal experience, I have committed my entire career exclusively to family law. Over the decades, I have guided clients through thousands of divorce cases at my firm, Perusse Family Law, PLLC helping them navigate some of the most difficult chapters of their lives.

Family law matters are rarely simple. Nearly every case I handle involves high-stakes components, including intense custody disputes, spousal maintenance litigation, business valuations, and intricate property division. In addition to litigation and divorce advocacy, I specialize in crafting comprehensive prenuptial agreements to protect my clients’ financial futures from the start of their marriages.

Deep Roots in Minnesota & Colorado

My legal career began in my hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota, followed by a brief time practicing in San Francisco. Eventually, my family and I fell in love with Colorado, where we now live full-time. Because my professional ties to both regions remain strong, Perusse Family Law operates full-service offices in both Minnesota and Colorado, and I actively represent clients across both states.

A Strategic & Trusted Advocate

Thirty-plus years in the courtroom and at the negotiation table have taught me exactly what strategies work best to resolve domestic relations disputes. While I always strive for amicable, efficient resolutions, I am a seasoned attorney who recognizes that trials are sometimes necessary. Whether inside or outside the courtroom, you can trust that I will do everything it takes to protect your family, your assets, and your financial future.

I believe that navigating a legal dispute shouldn’t completely disrupt your life. That is why Perusse Family Law leverages modern technology to make your entire experience completely seamless. From virtual consultations and digital document sharing to streamlined online communication, we efficiently manage your case with little to no need for time-consuming, in-person meetings.

Personal Background

When I’m not advocating for my clients in the courtroom, I’m usually out exploring the world.

I am married to an Air Force veteran and airline pilot, which means adventure is built into our DNA. Together, we share a passion for traveling and the outdoors—whether we are golfing, scuba diving in tropical waters, skiing down a mountain or hiking scenic trails.

Our love for the ice runs deep, too. We have a college-age son who plays hockey, and when we aren’t cheering him on, you can find us rooting for the Colorado Avalanche or the Minnesota Wild.
