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

Havilah definitely knows what she's doing when it comes to representing me in court. I hired her for a Family/Criminal case. Even if she feels a specific way is the best way to go, she's never pressured me into something I didn't want to do. Always takes time to make sure my questions and concerns are met. Never once rushed me out of the office or kept glancing at the clock. What mostly sets her apart is her big heart. It's not money she's after. She has a passion to see justice served for each and every client.

Working with Havilah made my experience in court very easy. I was completely satisfied with her communication weather it was positive or negative. I was aware of the status of my case with Havilah. She was very professional and I was happy overall with the outcome of my case. I would definitely recommend Havilah and her firm to family and friends and anyone out there looking for someone who will fight for you. I will definitely hire Havilah again in the future if I ever need her.

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.
