Justin Reed is the prime example of professionalism and integrity. I don’t think I could’ve made a better choice in representation.

I have used Lisa as a mediator in a number of cases over the years. She has a welcoming, calming presence; she is familiar with the bench in Weld; she has years of experience from litigating numerous cases; and she asks people to think about what s/he would be happy with rather than what they could get. She's a great mediator and a great attorney.

I highly recommend Lisa. I also am an attorney and have had numerous cases with Lisa on the opposite side. Lisa focuses on the issues and knows which fights to pick. She protects her clients' interests while working toward a settlement that is beneficial to all. Family law is never about who wins, but is about how the case can be resolved so that the parties can move forward with their lives. When Lisa is on a case against me, I know that it will not be an ugly fight, but a continued discussion of what is best for all involved. Lisa is one of the few attorneys who is able to have a real talk with her clients and tell them exactly what to expect, even if they don't want to hear it. I have also used her mediation services and have been more than happy with her work. She ensures that only the parties are the ones to attend/participate in mediation, and she challenges them to consider alternative views and options. If I needed to hire an attorney, I would not hesitate to hire Lisa.

Regarding parenting/custody case issues: I would not recommend Lisa to anyone who hopes to come to a mutual agreement during mediation. First of all, she showed up 30 minutes late for the appointment and didn't even offer an apology. Secondly, as the wife to one of the interested parties, I was excluded from mediation as she said "I don't allow third parties in the room." To which I responded, "oh. I wish I would have been made aware of that so that I did not take half a day off from work. Neither your website nor the letter that you sent out to all three of us stated that." She very rudely and sarcastically shrugged her shoulders at me and said "sorry." I did not find that to be very professional. Also, after the mediation and speaking with my husband, it seems as though Lisa does not understand Colorado school districts, their requirements as well as how to read and interpret teacher effectiveness and growth. This is critical because the mediation was to determine which school and district the child would attend. During the time that I was waiting, I spoke with two previous clients who described Lisa as "very mother-friendly regardless of the best interest of the children." They also mentioned other dislikes such as financial gain but that was not a concern of mine as it did not pertain to my situation.

I began my high-conflict divorce/custody case with Lisa and was initially excited to work with her however I was let down time and time again. It took weeks to get a return phone call or email. She ignored multiple requests and she didn’t even show up to one hearing. She’s a sweet person but time management is definitely not her strong suit. In the end I had to retain a different attorney to complete my case.

Highly recommend Mr. Coleman, he is the best criminal defense attorney in Northern Colorado. He's extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. I have known Keith close to 10 years now and he has always helped me out with any life or business issue and if he can't help he will always lead me in the right direction.
