Lindsay Reilly
Lindsay was born in southern California. When her family moved to Colorado in her early teen years, she fell in love with the front range and has called it home ever since, graduating from Arapahoe High School in 1999.
Lindsay earned her BA from Boston College in 2003 with an English major and a chemistry minor. After undergrad, she returned to Colorado, completing a Juris Doctor at the University of Colorado in 2006.

In 2007, Lindsay moved to Larimer County to join the District Attorney’s office for the Eighth Judicial District. There, Lindsay handled and tried a wide variety of cases from simple misdemeanors to first degree murder and other complicated felony matters. Lindsay worked extensively on drug prosecutions and was the impetus behind the DA’s office adding a full time drug trafficking prosecutor, as well as the first attorney assigned to that role. In that capacity, she collaborated with law enforcement and prosecutors in multiple jurisdictions on numerous investigations and subsequent prosecutions.
Lindsay was then promoted to Chief Deputy District Attorney and oversaw both the Intake division of the DA’s office as well as Central Services, where she collaborated with colleagues and law enforcement to file cases and assisted in ensuring proper delivery of discovery.
For most of her 13 years at the DA’s office, Lindsay was involved in training for local law enforcement on areas including courtroom testimony, domestic violence investigations, driving under the influence investigations, drug investigations, legal updates, and search and seizure. Throughout her time as a prosecutor, Lindsay was well-known for her commitment to cases, passion for helping people, attention to detail, and command of the courtroom.
In 2021, together with longtime prosecutor and colleague, David Vandenberg, Lindsay opened the doors to Reilly, Vandenberg & Biggers. Through the firm, the partners continue their commitment to relationships, the community, and justice.
