Ryan Shellady was who I needed to finish my Divorce. The energy and wisdom he puts forth is matched by his empathy and professionalism. I could not be happier about the gift he was for me and all that was accomplished. Ryan is destined for great accomplishments going forward in life!

Worked with Ryan Shellady for a long time, good attorney. He’s responsive, knowledgeable, and you know he’s doing his best for you.

Ryan has provided excellent legal services. He is at the top of his game and would recommend him for any family law needs!

Before switching to family law full time, Ryan represented my business and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Ryan representing you for any of your family law concerns.

Ryan Shellady was able to help me efficiently and effectively navigate a post-decree situation with my high conflict ex. He was empathetic, knowledgeable and communicative, and I felt supported through the process. He always had the best interests of my children in mind, and really listened to what I needed and who I was dealing with. Whether you are just getting divorced, or dealing with post-decree modifications- you will be glad to have Ryan and the Burnham Law team on your side.

Burnham Law is a very client-oriented law firm..they fight for YOU! Attorney Ryan Shellady is a go-getter and truly cares about you, the client. Great personality and an amazing attorney.

Ryan Shellady is prompt, professional, and very informative. Highly recommend!

Ryan Shellady with Burnham Law in Boulder offered me sound advice and was very personable and professional to work with. I fully recommend his services!

I went through a terrible interstate divorce during COVID. Initially, I worked with one of the partners, who did not seem to be very good at this particular type of law. The lawyers were all very busy--and I guess I was not important enough. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because of COVID. Many things were delayed as we waited for court to open back up. It was then carried out virtually. The child expert that was suggested, never visited me or my child in person, but did visit my ex-husband and his parents. No one pushed any of these issues, aside from myself, as I fought to maintain any say in the outcome of my son's future. Again, COVID. I was then handed off to another lawyer within the firm, who was clearly handling all of their divorce cases. The worst was after the decisions were made to conclude the situation, I was at a restaurant sitting next to the lawyer that represented me and she didn't know who i was. I would think after spending so much time, energy, emotion, and money, that at least that would never happen. I went from being my child's full-time "super" parent to the court ruling he should begin living with his father so that he could go to a Colorado school. I am disappointed in Boulder County, the lawyers, and the way things were handled throughout the process. I did not receive fair representation. I have since quit my job to move back to Colorado so that I can be with my son, which my ex-husband was eagerly willing to give up. I am now no longer allowed to have any decision on whether my son can attend the private school he was previously enrolled. The QDRO required for division of retirement funds has been in process for over 9 months. I have had to continue, post-divorce, to be diligent in following up with them to ensure its completion. As a successful business owner, I would never recommend this law firm to anyone that is going through a divorce.

I have been divorced for over 8 years, but have a high conflict ex, and often need legal advice to handle him. Ryan really listened to who I was dealing with, was able to help arrange the simplest path forward, and gave quick and empathetic support throughout the process. You will be glad to have Ryan on your side, whether you are just getting divorced, or going back later for modifications. I felt like he had my back, and always advocated for the best interests of my children.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Burnham Law. Their team is top notch and the best I've found. Jennifer Scott is an incredible lawyer who is passionate, genuine, dedicated, caring and goes the extra mile for her clients. We've worked with her over the past few years and would do it again in a heartbeat. She has a wonderful team supporting her. Erica, Taylor, Caroline, Krystal, and Sabrina (amongst others) were all fantastic to work with. Very professional, courteous and hard-working. I highly recommend working them.

Ryan worked with my husband and I regarding our wedding DJ. He was so thorough and knowledgeable. He helped us through the entire process and was very detailed in his explanations. I would recommend him to anyone. He was a fantastic attorney!
