Peter did a great job with my case. When we first met, he did a thorough job of gathering details, and walking me through both the legal and relational processes required from beginning to end. He and his team ensured that I received all case related communications and allowed me to define the amount of communication I needed to remain comfortable throughout the entire process. His team helped me to keep legal costs down by providing the information I needed directedly, even when I was stressed and could have easily used additional time digging for more detail should they not have proactively provided it to me. During the case, Peter had the foresight to schedule court conferences that didn't appear to me at the time that we would use. That leverage of experience saved me thousands of dollars and provided situational legal relief when we utilized that time with the court. Peter demonstrates his understanding of law and did a highly competent job using that knowledge to help me in my case. Each of the court documents Peter wrote for my case advocated for my family and my needs. I am very happy I hired Peter.

I was referred to Peter by another military mom when my son was currently attending with her son. He came highly recommended and I am grateful I took another chance with a lawyer. He was also a scout leader for years for that military mom‘s son. Therefore; a family man. My previous experiences with post decree lawyers were not very positive or helpful even after spending lots of money for them. With Peter by my side, I felt like I was in good hands and that I finally stood a chance. When we met for a first visit he was straight to the point, very confident and knowledgeable. He explained what could happen best, worst and in the middle scenarios . He was upfront and honest about obviously not guaranteeing all the things I wished for would come true. He help me gain confidence and give me hope. I was reasonable and understood that we were all doing our best. Yes, of course there was a retainer fee; all lawyers do have those. Most lawyers asked for $4500-$6000 as a retainer fee for my high conflict case. He charged a split of the cost so we could move forward seeing how no one else had been able to get anywhere for me. We agreed on a monthly payment that was doable for the rest. I tried to be conscientious of his time and Kate’s by only calling when really necessary or in dire panic mode. I felt heard and stronger with him by my side; I felt protected. Coming from a family of lawyers (of course not me) I can honestly say that Peter Garin is one of the few good ones left out there and I would recommend him to anyone/everyone. I know this is a long review but it’s deserved since 2018 when he helped me get some of what I deserved to receive. I will leave you with this… what type of noble and kind person would give some of the retainer back during Christmas time To a single mother of two kids that couldn’t afford a Christmas tree? You are correct!; a man like Peter Garin did. Thank you Peter! I feel blessed to have met you. You instilled some faith back in humanity for me. Truthfully, Josy

Hired Peter to handle my divorce in which a small child was involved. Peter assured me that I would get rights in regards to my child and assured me that everything would be ok. This was my first divorce and as you could imagine I was very distraught and a bunch of other emotions. The main emotion that I felt was fear of losing my only son and the fear of the unknown. I paid Peter his fee with the help of family and drained my retirement and savings to hire him as I don’t have a lot of money. My first experience seemed to be ok. But as my first court date came things started to fall apart. Long story short Peter got us torn a new one in court. The opposition got everything they wanted and I left even more sad and anxious as to what was gonna happen with my son and our relationship. Peter felt so bad that he offered me a discount(gee thanks), but then quickly began to talk to me about money and how I needed to sell my kidney to pay for his fees which I didn’t find very funny. As the months went by Peter seemed to bend at the waist for the oppositions attorney leaving me feeling like he was on their side. Money was running low so I ended up selling my firearms to Peter in exchange for continued services. Toward the end of all this I was told that if I went to trial that I would lose so I had to agree to this uphill agreement that I cannot afford to maintain. Not only that but there are no checks and balances and no enforcement to be had leaving my ex wife to just outright ignore me when it came to matters of my son. I’m also stuck with a case manager that will not return any of my calls so I’m basically left with a boat without a paddle. I called Peter to ask about rates for rehire as he knows more about my situation than anyone else but no returned calls. I was made to believe this deal was good but I now realize that this deal was basically about shutting things down quickly so Peter could get paid and paid he did. As soon as Peter got ahold of his portion of the proceeds he dropped me like a bad habit and has not returned any of my calls. Take my advice and find someone that will fight for you not bend over for the opposition for an easy pay day. Meanwhile I’m left to pickup up the peace’s and scrap together the little money I do have to hire another attorney in which I now know that I should have just saved and hired someone better from the get go. Be smart when dealing with lawyers some of them see your life altering life changing scenario as a way to pillage your prized possessions and take your money with doing little for you. I warned him about the type of people that we were dealing with and told him the deal needs to be air tight in which I know now that he blew that completely off and just took whatever was offered and sold it to me like a win. It was far from that. Take heed and save yourself time money and most of all heart break.

I hired Peter for a DUI charge in October, 2016. With the real and terrifying possibility of Jail despite no prior interaction with law authorities, I sure hoped he was as good as I thought. But, in the sea of lawyers, how do you know 100%? You don't. But now I do. Peter is the best! he has all the basic qualities and excels at them---very competent, knows the laws and latest changes, is familiar with the local court systems and people. What differentiates him? all the really important stuff---he cares (a lot), he possesses integrity & honesty, he is responsive, he goes above and beyond, he does the right thing, he gives excellent counsel and advice. In my case, he got to really know me, understand what was most important in court and made certain those things happened successfully. And, I was able to speak with him easily about other concerns about my DUI. In the sea of lawyers, I can't imagine anyone better in his areas of expertise.

Mr. Garin did a very professional job handling my case and was well prepared. He was able to get my fine and points reduced for a careless driving charge in Wheat Ridge, CO. He was on time to court, and I spoke with him the morning of my court date on the phone before court which set my mind at ease. I like him a lot and felt he did all he could for me, and then some. I recommend him, he's a great attorney with reasonable fees.

Peter Garin took my husband's case on short notice, was prepared for the hearing and got results. It was years in a high conflict custody case and finally progress. He genuinely cared about the family and what was best for the child. Highly recommend.

Peter was highly knowledgeable and impressed me with his ability to resolve my divorce issue quickly and cost effective. If you are looking for results, Peter delivers. He gives exceptional client care and vast knowledge to handle a variety of situations that arise. Excellent job, definitely recommend.

I have been involved in a horrific case for years with the single goal of protecting my children. Peter Garin actually learned my case, studied every angle, and used his years of experience and excellent moral character to protect my children and I. I highly recommend Peter Garin to anyone who demands a talented, honest and caring family attorney!

Peter helped me realize that I had rights and options when it came to my Divorce, let me tell you I really thought I had no one to help my complicated case. I was literally sick. Peter was referred to me by a friend. In one consultation he gave me more information than any other attorney I consulted with. Peter was extremely patient with me and my fears and answered every time I called and still gave me advise. I feel Peter really understood me and my unique situation and helped me through it. Just knowing Peter was there and on my side gave me the support I need. I read his other reviews and I will say, Peter is impressive and with him behind you, he will deliver what he says he can. Thank you Peter!

I highly recommend Mr. Garin for all grand parents trying to get custody of your grand baby. I tried on my own for 7 months and decided to hire Mr. Garin and he marched into court, presented my case and immediately I was granted emergency placement. Don't let Colorado take your grand baby away, call Mr. Garin he will help you through all of it and he was so worth the money I spent.

He is very professional. Seems to know his stuff. Reasonably responsive. Bottom line he did not achieve great results in my sons case...could have achieved same results without an attorney I think

Tenacious, tough and very thorough. He researched our case, understood what our options were, and helped us obtain the very best outcome possible. He was straightforward with us, and we never felt 'in the dark' over any of the proceedings. Recommend highly!
