Judge Leith was appointed in 2011 in response to concerns about her predecessors being too closely connected to guardianship professionals. Unfortunately, Judge Leith’s actions have also been problematic.
Serious concerns about her actions are documented in a set of 13 statements about Judge Leith that the Probate Trap submitted to Colorado Governor Jared Polis and in a detailed judicial ethics complaint filed against her in 2025.
Because adult guardianship records are sealed in Colorado, public information provides only a partial picture of the underlying proceedings. The stories documented in our submission to Governor Polis represent, in all likelihood, only a fraction of the full story.
