Last September, I had to seek a divorce from my abusive husband. After interviewing several lawyers, I found the right man for the job. Ben Brightwell and his paralegal, Kristin Thee, were a godsend. They helped me through one of the most difficult and emotionally draining times on my life. I moved to Teller County about two years earlier and didn’t have a great support system in place. Ben not only provided the legal knowhow; he was also very reassuring through the whole process. My ex-husband and his lawyer made things difficult and Ben handled them masterfully. When all was said and done, I was very happy with the end result. My life is lightyears better than before the divorce on every level. In fact, my sister and I nicknamed Ben Brightwell “Buzz Lightyear”, out of affection and respect because he will go “to infinity…and beyond” for his clients. He certainly did for me.

Leslie Shaffer has been my lawyer for close a year now. I can tell you with great honesty, she is very professional, and she truly cares. She has helped us along an extremely difficult path with my children, and has never left our side! She answers her emails almost immediately, and always calls back when I leave a message. She is sincere, yet sturn. She tells you how it is, no sugar coating. But she always does her best to make sure justice is served. Thank you for reading my review. You will not be unhappy choicing Leslie Shaffer as your lawyer.

During the one of the hardest situations you will likely find yourself in, Leslie will help guide you through the process in an honest way. She will care about you and fight for the best outcome she can get you. She will answer your questions timely. She will become a trusted teammate who will keep your best in mind.

I have worked with Burnham Law for three years on my case. Leslie Shafer, Alexander Ontoks, and Ariel Hull along with their team have given me priority attention, professional quality service and results I needed to win my case. Extremely prompt with correspondence and fair fees. She and her team were also warm and caring through my difficult and trying case. I HIGHLY recommend Leslie!!!!

I am pleased to have had Leslie Shafer and her team in my corner. My case took a while but they were there for me if I had any questions or concerns. Leslie was very professional and thorough when it came to litigation, and explained the process to me where I could understand everything. Her team was awesome as well, especially Alexander and Ariel. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone and will not hesitate to call on her and her team again in the future if the need arises.

Leslie was excellent in analyzing the specifics of my divorce case and providing options to go forward. She was also very good in the actual case, conducted on Zoom, in cross-examining the opposing counsel's witnesses and pointing out flaws in their testimony.

Joe Brown is the person you want on your side when navigating one of life’s most difficult experiences. In those challenging moments it is supremely comforting to know that a seasoned expert is executing a winning strategy with your interest in mind.

Alexander Ontkos is a high performing paralegal. He always has answers to questions that I haven't asked. He is extremely patient and detail oriented. His expertise has been instrumental in resolving past legal concerns.

Leslie Shafer is excellent! She is confident, articulate, and personable.

I would follow attorney Joe Brown to any law firm because of the confidence I have in his representation. His knowledge of the law never overshadows his willingness to listen to his client while also effectively and supremely communicating to all parties involved in the matter at hand. Do yourself a favor and hire Joe Brown for your next legal issue.

Empathetic, honest and articulate legal advice. The level of dedication from attorneys like Joe Brown is truly amazing. You can trust the Burnham Law Firm, this a team that will have your back.
