2
Perceived bias and lack of impartiality in investigations as a Child and Family Investigator (CFI)

I am an experienced lawyer, but no longer handle residential landlord/tenant litigation. When I needed help for a rental property I own, I knew I was not up to date on recent changes to Colorado landlord/tenant laws. Sal personally returned my call promptly and quickly drafted the necessary documents for me. It was a pleasure working with him.

My experience with CFI Kimberly Utesch in Colorado was highly disappointing. From start to finish, it was evident that Ms. Utesch lacked the competence and dedication necessary for her role. Throughout the investigation process, she seemed to simply phone it in, displaying a lack of thoroughness and professionalism. She often had an auto-reply email set up which made getting a hold of her very difficult. She refused to review any videos or relevant evidence because would not allow me to send these items through Dropbox, as the files were too large for email.
She conducted my "home visit" through Zoom. To make this even worse, when she called on Zoom to do the home visit she started to berate me and tell me that it was inappropriate that I had my child present for our interview. She seemingly forgot that this appointment was for the home visit that she had specifically asked me to have my child present. She then proceeded to turn her camera off and "watch us interact" for 30 minutes.
One of the most concerning aspects of Ms. Utesch's performance was her failure to interview ANY of the family members who had submitted questionnaires...... on either side of the family. This negligence not only demonstrates a lack of diligence but also raises serious doubts about the validity and fairness of her findings. How can a comprehensive investigation be conducted without gathering input from all relevant parties?
Furthermore, Ms. Utesch's overall competency was severely lacking. It was clear that she did not possess the necessary skills or knowledge to handle the complexities of the case. Her lack of attention to detail and apparent disinterest in the matter at hand only exacerbated the situation. To make things worse she then asked for more money at the end of her investigation. The ONLY thing my son's mother and I have ever agreed on is that Ms Utesch has no business being a CFI.
Less than a year after her report was completed, our judge allowed us to have another investigation completed. This report had DRASTICALLY different findings. Her entire report was a waste of time and money.
Overall, I would not recommend Ms. Utesch as a CFI based on my experience. Her subpar performance and lack of thoroughness do a disservice to the families relying on her expertise. I urge anyone seeking a competent and dedicated CFI to look elsewhere.

Probably the biggest moron that ever was allowed to practice law in Colorado. It was a terrible boost to morale to have the Judge look at Mr. Quintana like he said the dumbest thing he had ever heard. When Mr. Quintana kept repeating it as par t of his idiotic argument, the Judge had the most obvious look of disbelief I had ever seen. Stay away from this guy, or you'll be sorry.

I love this firm. I initially thought I would hate talking about my issue to strangers, but turns out they made it easy. No judgement, just a good work ethic. Do yourself a favor and try them out. Family is the most important thing, and worth the consideration of someone who can give you solid advice, and care about the outcome.

I had a 30 min. free consultation with Vernon Ready about a week ago. I had questions regarding a contempt of court hearing for child support. He answered all my questions, was very concise, professional and friendly. I had called several other attorneys before I talked with Vernon and hands down he was the best. The other attorneys wouldn't answer several of my questions without "paying for their time" or asking me to retain them. As it turned out, Vernon actually suggested I probably wouldn't need an attorney for what I was doing. I will without a doubt hire him if there comes a time I need an attorney. Thank you, Vernon!!

Vern was outstanding. His professionalism and knowledge of the subject at hand was in my opinion unmatched. I believe he out lawyered the respondent in this case. When I asked him to minimize meeting appointments to keep costs down, I truly believe he did without insulting the integrity of the case or subject that needed attention or discussion. He is just a normal, regular guy that can relate to life's circumstances because of his own personal experiences. His customer service toward me and my desires or expectation were meet in every aspect. This review or recommendation almost seems to be good to be but I assure you, if you retain Vern to represent you, I am positive he will give it his undivided attention and will not waiver from truth.

I recently hired Kaitlin Spittel to represent me. She is an excellent attorney. Her intelligence and knowledge of the nuances of employment law is outstanding and was a lifesaver in my case. She was phenomenal in assisting me. I hope I never have to go down the road of hiring an attorney again, however if I do she will be the first one I call. Kaitlin, thank you for your hard work. You are an awesome attorney!

I have never had to retain a lawyer before, so I wasn't sure what the experience would be like.
When I had my first meeting with Kaitlin she was very patient with me and listened to all my concerns. She was very upfront and told me what I could expect from her. She not only did what she said she would do, but did it in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

Kaitlin was able to help me tremendously with my pending case. She consider how everything affected me, and made me felt. She touched all the bases. This was my first expirience with a lawyer, and she made it very easy. I would certainly go back to her again.
Also, the reception Audrea was incredibly helpful. I had a small time frame to work with, and she made it possible. She also cared a great deal about making sure my case was heard, which was also very helpful.
In the future if I couldn’t use Kaitlins services, I know Audrea would point me in the right direction of someone who would be able to help me.

Ryann is an incredible attorney. She is very thorough throughout her work and is also highly supportive throughout the entire process. Ryann knows the law inside and out and was able to stay the course during my proceedings despite unexpected challenges throughout my case. I highly recommend Ryann and her firm and know that she goes the extra mile for her clients and cares about the outcome of her cases. It is hard to put into words how grateful I am for everything she did for me and for my children. Because of her professionalism, experience, and ethics, I was able to move with my children and start a new life for all of us. Thank you Ryann!!!
