Collin Cannon, Associate Attorney at Novo Legal Group
Associate Attorney

Collin Cannon

Collin comes to immigration law by way of a varied and interesting path. While completing his bachelor's and master's degrees in American electoral politics and quantitative analysis, he helped lead local and statewide campaigns on behalf of candidates and causes across Colorado and New Mexico. He later moved to Greeley, where he helped establish the Immigrant and Refugee Center of Northern Colorado, a nonprofit serving immigrants and refugees, and spent its first four years as the organization's inaugural Director of Advocacy. In that role, he oversaw a team of multilingual community navigators who helped immigrants across the region navigate everyday challenges, including immigration-related hurdles with government agencies. That experience pushed Collin to take his advocacy further, and he enrolled at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. As a student, he worked in the school's Immigration Law and Policy Clinic, representing detained clients in Aurora, Colorado. Collin joined Novo Legal as a legal extern in 2022, while still in law school. After being admitted to the Colorado bar in 2023, he came on board as an Associate Attorney that November. Today, he leads the firm's community partnerships, building relationships with local and national organizations and nonprofits to bring direct representation, education, training, events, and large-scale benefits workshops — in both English and Spanish — to the communities they serve, with a focus on immigration. He's also part of a team at Novo developing innovative technology to tackle complex immigration legal barriers, with the goal of lowering the cost of legal services for the communities that need them most. Organizations looking to bring legal services to their community are encouraged to reach out — he'd love to help open that door.

Why this work

I earned my JD from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in 2023, where I served on the Jessup International Moot Court Team. Before law school, I completed a Master's at Colorado State University in 2016, focused on American politics, public policy, and political theory.

From 2017 to 2020 I served as the inaugural Director of Advocacy and Development at the Immigrant and Refugee Center of Northern Colorado in Greeley. I built and managed a team of multi-lingual community navigators, lectured at public universities on immigration policy, wrote grants, recruited donors, and served clients directly. In 2021 I externed at the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network.

I joined Novo Legal as a legal extern in 2022 during law school. I was admitted to the Colorado bar in 2023 and the firm brought me on as an Associate Attorney that November. At Novo, I lead our community partnerships — I own our relationships with local and national organizations and non-profits, building the infrastructure that brings direct representation, education, training, events, and large-scale benefits workshops, in English and Spanish, to the people those organizations serve, primarily in immigration. If your organization wants to bring legal services to your community, this is the door to come through.
