I would give zero stars if it were possible. Complete unprofessional, lacks integrity and is a complete failure to the system and families utilizing her services.

Cathy was great. She handled everything for me during my divorce. Being overseas during the process I was nervous, but she made is as painless as possible. Her assistant Kendra was awesome as well. I highly recommend them! Chris

My Black son's voice DID NOT MATTER!!! My son with special needs voice did not matter. Domestic violence ... No big deal!!!

Catherine and her staff were a pleasure to work with. I would 100% recommend working with her!

Very helpful and responsive to all questions/needs. Cathy and Her paralegal provided needed guidance during very tough times.

Kim was hands down the one of the worst professionals ever involved in my custody matter, which at her involvement had extended 14-years. She was difficult to get a hold of, unresponsive, ignorant to PC/DM statute and oblivious to her own service agreements. All the while, she would post attorney responses on AVVO to the tune of 2-3x per day, often saying the question wasn’t even within her scope of practice. As of this review, she shows 515 AVVO responses….most of which are outside her scope of practice and with answers elementary in nature. Her practice shows to be focused in family law, bankruptcy and real estate. That combination alone should help you understand the caliber of professional she is. Kim was appointed as a replacement PC/DM in relation to my daughter because the initially agreed upon PC/DM retired early following an injury. Prior to Kim, I had experience with a qualified PC/DM for several years and understood the PC/DM relationship and capabilities well. In my specific dealings, she billed several hours to become educated with our case prior to any requested involvement. Once she was up to speed, she was never asked to perform any services by either my daughters’ mother or myself. Her appointment was set to expire in October of 2018 and her services agreement indicated her appointment would automatically renew unless notice was given by either parent that it would not renew. Despite Kim’s own service agreement indicating automatic renewal, she indicated by email she “was not a fan of automatic renewals.” I provided proper notice to terminate her appointment and she, in direct conflict with her emails, service agreement and Colorado statute, attempted to renew her appointment with only unilateral approval. Kim was given clear instruction from my counsel that her appointment would not renew and that a refund of excess retainer was expected within 30-days in accordance with her service agreement. She failed to provide such refund on time. Instead, her refund was received nearly 60-days after her termination which was 30-days late to her own services agreement. What’s worse, her refund was only received after a demand letter was sent to her indicating complaints with the Colorado Bar Association, COLTAF, Office of Court Administrator as well as initiating civil litigation against her was imminent if such refund was not received within 7-days. She complied immediately to that demand letter. In the end, although Kim appears to be highly rated on AVVO working with her will quickly prove her capabilities are vastly limited. It’s worth reading her google reviews prior to engaging her. PS - This review was posted a year after our dealings had concluded. Google reminded me of our interactions in a 1-year summary, which led to the review's timing.

Kim is an excellent attorney. Knowledgeable, responsive and a leader in the legal community.

Kim is a fantastic legal professional. I found her work as a Child and Family Investigator to be very thorough. Highly recommend!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with this law firm. My husband and I decided it was time to get a will drawn up, mostly for the purposes of establishing guardianship for our children. We weren't sure who to go to for this service, and found Jennifer through a Facebook group. She was very helpful in answering all of our questions and guiding us through the process, always quick to reply to calls and emails. She also helped us to consider things we had not thought of when deciding what the will should contain. Jennifer helped make everything simple and straightforward. I personally really appreciated her kindness and professionalism. We look forward to working with this firm in the future!

Kim represented me through years of dealing with a horrible post divorce matter. She was professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared. I would not have a relationship with my son today without her standing by my side and believing in my unimaginable stories. I think after my case, nothing will ever surprise her. I would recommend her again and again. Thank you Kim!

I have consulted with Ms. Utesch on many cases. She is an excellent CFI who goes above and beyond to ensure she does what is in the children's best interests. At times she works very high conflict cases, but does not let that influence or interfere with her obligation to do what is best for the children.

Kim Utesch is a fantastic CFI. Thorough, careful, impartial. She will get to the bottom of the family dynamics at hand.
