I highly recommend Knies, Helland & McPherson. Jenni (Helland) did an amazing job. My ex and her attorney were very antagonistic, liked to draw out the process, and did everything they could to drive up legal fees. Jenni was great in understanding what was happening and the likely outcomes or consequences. She avoided emotional arguments, and instead made sound legal ones. More importantly, she advised me when I was making an emotional decision and gave recommendations on what actions I could take that would be legally successful. Having someone in your corner that was willing to tell you what you needed to hear, instead of what you wanted to hear saved me thousands of dollars. This is not a law firm that will needlessly drive up costs. For example, I was never charged for attorneys fees for anyone Jenni may have consulted with (this is a frequent tactic of less reputable law firms). I was never given a weekly 'update' that created billing hours even if nothing was happening in the case. Jenni never had me make needless discovery requests, subpoenas or motions that are typical and drive up costs. I had a more experienced and higher hourly rate attorney than my ex, but my ex's legal fees were 30% higher because of all the shenanigans they played. Jenni will give you the legal experience you need without driving up costs.

Unfortunately I felt highly pressured during mediation to settle my case and after having other attornies review my case post decree there were mistakes and missteps made with an extremely lopsided agreement, I also didn't get presented with 30 days to contest the decision, I should have gone to trial - the outcome was presented to me to be much much worse but I have to think that was not the case, and certainly I was rushed through this process with little preparation at the final mediation hearing. I had paid for a lot of reports (over 10K) - including a business valuation (one CPA opinion), an educational evaluation and a forensic accounting report, where my ex wrecked my books- there were no financial consequences for her actions instead it was a mess and the business valuation pointed this out- but she got half the business value ?? WTF ? Because I am not a millionaire but still a business owner, with a complex business case- I was bambozzled out of over 400K of my life's work and self made, self educated - working hard prior to the marriage and I lost it all property assets, high-value items, vehicles and 1/2 my retirement - to a "uneducated loser" really ? Something went horribly wrong here. Avoiding trial may be what some lawyers like to do - and this is the case here, I should have gone to trial and switched attorney's - instead I get billed for withdrawing from my case, probably for the best. The depth of preparation and really digging into to my financials - which as I was working full time - painting the picture was not something this attorney did for me and what I expected and paid for so there was a clearcut strategy, instead I ended up having to do the heavy lifting and I no a legal mind and certainly have not been through this kind of analysis before- I did it - I made it happen with all the forms and obviously there were mistakes made here, not considering business operating expenses and I AM the business - I quit the business there is no cashflow- my income and business go hand in hand, the only thing I got out of it was the business back in my name, big whoop because my ex is still extracting a huge alimony payment per month, that is NOT sustainable and based on 1 year of income - not realistic with economic ups and down- and who knows how it was calculated ? I think that was a huge mis-step in my case, so back to court I go- again huge dollars spent here and huge dollars lost - my life's work and savings for a money grubber to take it all. Be careful when hiring this attorney and do your homework - if trial is to be avoided then perhaps this will work for you. In addition I believe - being a civil union there is less care or concern and there is an eerily similar case - another same sex couple that had the same outcome, seems to be a churn and burn, grind through the system and accept your losses. I will never accept it - and it has and is the ruin fo my life, all I can hope for is karma at this point - don't expect the legal system to help you or navigate your financial life - because accordingly - get a pre-nuptial- well of course - I expected a better outcome and instead I live with constant regret and now I know I was given a raw deal, pick your attorney wisely - if you have tons or cash or no cash perhaps this attorney is a good choice, with a simple personal asset split, but if a business is involved I think to pick wisely as I know there were mistakes made - particularly in the business valuation, there was not enough stones unturned in this case but the picture painted was certainly not the reality, like my ex was this rosey contributor- very much the opposite and racked up all the debt and spend spend spend without any consequences- yet she gets it all- the system is truly not on the bread-winners side, and it retrospect I don't think this attroney fought like a tiger to win win win- her's sure did and had a reputation of mean- that is what it takes hire mean to win.

To Jennifer Helland and Jessica Strong I would like to say thanks so much. I truly appreciate all the support and help. These process would have been extremely difficult without your expertise. You guys handle my matter with such grace and professionalism. I am glad we were victorious in this case. If anyone is looking for amazing attorney Jennifer Helland is the one to have on your side. It will be a win win situation. God bless

KLM is the place to go hands down if you want to come out a WINNER!!!!! Review for Kelly McPherson & Stephanie Steiner❤️❤️❤️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a very challenging case, and after firing my previous lawyer who did nothing but take my money.A friend referred me to Kelly.I called & she got me in.She stepped in and completely turned things around as messed up as they were & as hysterical & crying as I was she immediately calmed me down & reassured me she would do her best to make things right.She had to go back and fix everything that the previous lawyer had supposedly done, and she did it with skill and dedication. She is an amazing attorney, and I would recommend her and Stephanie to anyone who needs someone who genuinely works for them—not for themselves. Kelly & Stephanie are hard-working, down-to-earth, and always straight to the point. No BS. From the very beginning, I could tell she had my best interests at heart. She’s not just about making empty promises—she delivers results. Her communication is excellent, and she always made me feel heard and valued. I never once felt like I was in the dark during the process, and she consistently reassured me with her level-headed, professional approach.Communication was great.Always returned emails in a timely matter & Stephanie was great about helping with paperwork & returning emails & anything that needed to be addressed.I was never left in the dark.These ladies were wonderful & I thank them from the bottom of my heart. In the courtroom, she’s a force—well-prepared and incredibly professional. Plus, her office is comfortable and welcoming, which made it easier to sit down and discuss difficult topics. If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who truly works for you, cares about your family, and won’t waste your time or money, I highly recommend Kelly McPherson and Stephanie Steiner.They’re exactly the kind of legal team you want in your corner. BEST LEGAL TEAM OUT THERE!!!

I am absolutely pleased with this company! Reilly Frank and "Bek" were able to get me what I thought was impossible! I was referred to them by my boss and I have no regrets with joining with them. The helped me win primary custody of my children (which if you're in Colorado) you know is almost impossible as a male. These great people helped me in ways I couldn't even explain... I highly recommed them 100%. I have had other lawyers in the past who have all seemed to do things outside of my children's best interest... They have helped me get everything I needed for my kids! Please at least give them a listen, they will help you.

Kelly and Stephanie were amazing through the divorce process. I had a narcissistic spouse and was being completely run over. I also had a kiddo involved and needed someone strong in my corner. The team was efficient, understood my needs, made excellent recommendations, and most of all, listened to me and my daughter.

Not recommended

Jennifer Knies was amazing to work with, listened to all of my concerns, and represented wonderfully in court. I would highly recommend her for anyone navigating challenging family court issues!

I give Attorney Helland and her paralegal Jessica Strong a simple WOW for the service and attentiveness they have provided. You hire an attorney when you need help, and these folks heard me and helped me in a tremendous way. I have been quite impressed with their responses on many occasions. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Kelly McPherson is an absolute miracle worker! She is THE consummate lawyer! A virtuoso and more than adept in the field of law! She saves lives with her abilities and I’ve never seen anyone better! If Kelly is your lawyer, you have hope in an impossible situation!

Kelly and her team helped me through my separation with my ex-husband. They were all very kind and helpful during this difficult chapter in my life. I greatly appreciate the settlement we were able to reach and all of the knowledge and direction they gave me along the way. I was so overwhelmed when this all started but Kelly, Reilly and the rest of their staff truly were the best people to help me close this chapter in my life.

Second time I had the good fortune of working with this team and both times they proved themselves professional, understanding, and effective on my behalf. If you need legal help…then this is the team you want. M Gibson
