Tianyi Flannery, Esq.
As a global citizen, I have lived in Scotland, Shanghai, Vancouver, Orange County, and Denver. With each new location came new opportunities to meet people from diverse backgrounds, tackle unique challenges, and immerse myself in different ways of life. This background instilled a strong sense of adaptability, resilience, and positivity in me, enabling me to work with individuals from all walks of life. Before founding Flannery Law, I served as the sole juvenile counsel at Connecticut’s largest criminal defense firm. I have also successfully handled infraction, criminal, post-conviction, and DUI matters. I take pride in changing the lives of many of my clients, you can see my case results on this page.
I am a passionate litigator who has served as first chair in post-conviction trials involving complex, multi-year litigation, including matters involving cell phone forensic data analysis and ineffective assistance of counsel claims. I also have a strong interest in alternative dispute resolution when it best advances a client’s goals, and I completed a 40-hour mediation training program through the Colorado Bar Association. I served as the appointed Criminal Justice Section Committee Chair of the Connecticut Bar Association Young Lawyers Section, one of the largest sections of the Bar.
Education
I graduated from Purdue University with a triple major in finance, accounting, and management, ranking in the top quarter of my class. I received a near-full scholarship offer from a top 30 law school, but chose the University of Colorado Law School, which offered a majority tuition scholarship, so I could enjoy nature in Colorado for a few years.
I am licensed in Colorado and Connecticut. I have worked at the Denver District Attorney’s Office and with four judges across the Colorado Court of Appeals, the Colorado 2nd Judicial District Court, and the Colorado 17th Judicial District Court.
Through the Colorado Bar Association’s CLE program, I completed a 40-hour mediation training and earned a certificate.
I spent my childhood in Shanghai and Scotland and am fluent in Chinese.
Legal Strategy
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to empathize and to care deeply. I chose criminal law because I want to make a long-lasting, positive impact on your life when you need legal support the most. As a first-generation immigrant, I understand how difficult it is to comprehend legal jargon and to deal with administrative hurdles. But you are not alone, as I will be by your side every step of the way. I will help you navigate this difficult process by providing you with excellent customer service and legal advocacy. I am invested in your future, your family, and your dreams.
