Pros
1
Highly skilled and experienced litigator with a strong courtroom presence
“Denise had total control, by the time she finished her cross examination, my husbands lies and dishonesty were exposed.”
2
Tenacious and persistent in obtaining full discovery, even when faced with obstructive tactics
“Denise was very persistent in obtaining full discovery. This was very challenging as both my ex and his attorney pulled every game in the book to hamper the process.”
3
Effective in recovering legal fees and costs
“Denise not only obtained everything BUT found documents that were doctored (redacted). My case was very difficult and subsequently costly but Denise fought to get my ex to pay ALL my attorney fees (including all legal support) and prevailed.”
4
Excellent legal knowledge and strategic thinking
“She has such a grasp and keen understanding of law that she knows exactly how to represent her clients and ensure their best interests.”
5
Responsive and supportive even after the case is closed
“I have called her on a few post-divorce issues and she always makes time for me and offers fabulous guidance.”
Cons
1
Unprofessional conduct and failure to communicate by some attorneys at the firm
“Jeff Callister should be disbarred and dismissed from this law firm. They fail to abide by settlement orders and Jeff Callister refuses to communicate.”
2
Potential for a "mean girl" culture within the firm
“It's a breeding ground for mean girls. It's hard to sit there, on the sidelines, and watch this kind of ingnorant and small minded behavior play out right in front of your face.”
3
Concerns about unnecessary fees and lack of transparency
“I was robbed out of money for two motions that I could have done myself for only three hundred dollars. Had no representation when I went court cause they withdrew from the case. They charged me for unessesary emails at three hundred dollars an hour.”

Unprofessional Conduct. Jeff Callister should be disbarred and dismissed from this law firm. They fail to abide by settlement orders and Jeff Callister refuses to communicate. Do not ever deal with this law firm. You will never get your settlement.

Unprofessional at best. Fail to communicate. They fail to issue settlements as ordered. They do not adhere to the law or play by the rules. This firm should be audited and investigated by every watchdog group and government agency.

Pollart Miller LLC, was an absolute pleasure to work with while I had Denise retained... Denise Gonzales is an amazing attorney - the best investment of my life so far. She aided in finally putting a stop the misconduct the other parent had been practicing for over 10 years (and 4 different lawyers on this case before her). She kept calm, but was also urgent when needed. Her and her paralegal worked hard for me and my family. Denise respected when I set boundaries for monthly budgets; keeping the time limited when I was on a tighter budget, and was able to go full-force-super-lawyer when we needed and could afford it. She was very knowledgeable in every aspect of our long family legal battle; knowledgeable with the laws which best suited my case, knowledgeable with the officers of the court appointed to our case, knowledgeable about what was best for my children, while always allowing me to make the final decision on what stayed and what could be left out, which could be challenging in such an emotional situation. Denise was also very respectful and absolutely perfect in court... If you want someone who can handle an extremely difficult and tenacious legal battle, I'm sure Denise can handle it. She helped save my family from years more of legal fights... She was also just a pleasant and down to earth person and mother who I came to like a lot... I am eternally grateful for Denise.

When I met Nathan Dowell, I knew immediately I would hire him to represent me. He has great communication skills and goes after what needs to be done. He and his paralegal, Karen Yurack, are quite the power team. Karen is very supportive, and they work in sync. You definitely want them on your side, as they went above and beyond to help.

Kristin Weaver and Sarah Pisk were lifesavers for my family and I in the custody battle with my ex. They really took the time to understand my unique situation, and advocated for my children and I throughout my entire time working with them. I really appreciate their understanding and diligence throughout a tricky and stressful case. Would highly recommend them!

Spoke with Todd who understood my case immediately and was fantastic!! Met with Laurie Joe and she handled my difficult case with precision!! Listened and explained every action and knew what to do with professionalism and experience!! She made the other parties attorney look foolish and lazy and got the results I wanted. Hopefully won’t need them again-but if I do, I know who I am calling!!

  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Greenwood Village, Colorado?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
