Who we Are

Alison Adam

Guided Estate Planning Paralegal

I moved from France to the U.S. and enrolled at Vermont Law School in 2017. Passionate about environmental issues, I got a master’s degree in Climate Change and Environmental Law, then graduated from my LL.M. in American Legal Studies.

I am honored to be a stakeholder at The Rains Law Firm. I was the Drafting Paralegal for three years and I now oversee our Guided Estate Planning program.

I live in the beautiful mountain town of Bozeman, MT. On the weekends, you will most likely find me at my twin sister Aurore’s bakery or adventuring outdoors. If you want to visit Montana, please reach out: I would love to be your guide!

Bronwyn Jones

Drafting Paralegal

My role at The Rains Law Firm involves drafting legal documents and helping take care of our valuable clients. I love helping people, especially in the context of purposeful estate planning. Because family is important to me, I embrace our firm’s mission of helping clients invest in their family’s future by passing on family values, strengthening family relationships, and maximizing their potential.

My professional background includes recruiting, news production, and commercial writing. With a degree in Mass Communications from the University of Denver, I started my career in print media, which perfectly combined three of my favorite things: research, interviewing people, and writing.

I had first developed those skills while completing a legal internship for a Denver District Court judge, which also sparked my interest in the legal field. Coming full circle with the opportunity to work at a law firm is great, but I especially appreciate that The Rains Law Firm intentionally creates a positive work environment by developing a team-spirited, mission-driven, values-centered culture with a servant-leadership management style. That hugely reflects on how we as stakeholders treat our clients and professional partners.

As a Colorado native, I enjoyed exploring scenic spots in my home state while growing up. Now I spend most of my free time with my fun family. I also love to laugh, and while I take my work seriously, I will never take myself or others too seriously. Life is too short!

Tiffany Comandari

Legal Assistant

As a 5^th generation Coloradoan, I grew up in Golden and went to college in Nebraska on a softball scholarship. I missed my home state, though, and after the first year, I came back to attend Red Rocks Community College where I interned at the Jefferson County Justice Center in the archives department, categorizing and writing summaries for homes and businesses on the historical register in downtown Golden.

For the next 15 years, I taught physical education to middle and high schoolers, allowing me to continue playing sports, and have more time with my children….all 6 of them! It was a deeply rewarding, and often heartbreaking experience, as teaching always is.

In 2008, my mother was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s and I dove headfirst into caregiving and probate law, representing myself in court for her guardianship. For the duration of her life, I managed her estate and health care, which gave me a real appreciation for the system we have in Colorado.

Inspired by that, I completed the online paralegal program through Purdue University Fort Wayne (2019) and took a job for a local real estate title company in the refinance department. There, I recorded county documents and learned the processes for transferring deeds and notary law.

I’m passionate about Alzheimer’s education, my family, trivia and I’m so grateful to be a part of the Rains Team where I can combine all of those things and hopefully help others along the way, through some of my own personal experiences.

Andrea Lapping

Funding Paralegal

My role as the Funding Paralegal at Rains Law Firm is to ensure your trust is fully funded. As a former estate administration paralegal, I understand the importance of a properly funded trust. My job is to review all accounts you hold individually and work with the institutions to change ownership from you as an individual to your newly created trust. I am passionate about helping you complete the final step in your purposeful estate planning. I am very family oriented, which is why I embrace the firm’s mission, especially when it comes to strengthening family relationships.

I graduated from Colorado State University with a B.A. in Political Science. I received my paralegal certificate through the American Bar Association – approved Paralegal Certificate Program at Arapahoe Community College. I have seven years of experience as a paralegal in various areas of law including Probate, Eminent Domain, Premise Liability and Employment law.

Outside of work, Andrea enjoys traveling with her husband and daughters, with plans to explore Europe in the future.

Kristin McGinnis

Strategic Operations Coordinator

I bring a blend of business acumen, leadership, and strategic insight to my role as Strategic Operations Coordinator at The Rains Law Firm. With over 20 years of experience across hospitality, financial services, and consulting, I focus on scaling the firm’s strategic vision while building a values-driven, people-first culture.

My career began in 2003 as a Catering Sales Director and grew into leadership roles in the hospitality industry. That work was amplified during my time in Las Vegas, where I managed premier restaurants and deepened my expertise in high-performance operations. I later transitioned into financial services, specializing in ultra-high-net-worth planning and business succession.

As the founder of Conscious Business Connections, I’ve guided professionals—especially wellness entrepreneurs, attorneys, and advisors—through strategic challenges with clarity, alignment, and purpose.

My leadership is grounded in conscious business principles and a commitment to building resilient, purpose-driven organizations. I’ve served on several community and professional boards, including the Colorado Planned Giving Roundtable, the Denver Global Chamber, and The Denver Foundation’s PAC, and I was Vice President of the nonprofit Save the Water.

When I’m not working, you’ll often find me enjoying Colorado’s great outdoors, spending quality time with my husband and close friends, or finding new ways to stay creatively inspired. Whether it’s exploring a trail, hosting a dinner, or diving into a great story, I value moments that foster deep connection, personal growth, and a joy along the way.

I’m your point of contact for scheduling and coordination at The Rains Law Firm—feel free to reach out anytime.
