Stephen Plog was born in Chicago, Illinois. As the child of a university professor, Steve lived in many different cities growing up. Ultimately, his family ended up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where he attended New Mexico State University. He obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, as well as a supplemental pre-law minor. Additionally, Steve completed one year of course work toward a graduate degree in Public Administration at New Mexico State University. Rather than finishing up his graduate degree, he decided to move out East and begin his legal studies. Steve graduated from Quinnipiac University School of Law in Hamden, Connecticut in 1997.
After graduation from law school, Mr. Plog decided to move back West, to the beautiful state of Colorado. He moved here to Colorado with his twin brother, who had also graduated from law school with him. Steve and his brother started their own law firm in 1998. That same year, Steve met his partner, Laura Stein. In 1999, Plog & Stein, P.C. family law firm was formed.
With plans to open offices in Florida in the near future, Stephen Plog passed the Florida Bar Exam, becoming licensed there in 2020.
In his spare time, Steve enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters. He also enjoys golfing, working around the house, being involved with his daughter’s swimming, and traveling. In addition to these activities, Steve is also an avid reader of trivia and useless facts. Besides being a walking encyclopedia of information, he also uses his semi-photographic memory to help his clients. Of course, the facts he remembers in his cases are more than trivia and are put to good use.
