Tim guided us through the initial process of being special respondents. Eventually we were able to hire him as representation. Our case was one that took time regardless of legal representation. However, when a crucial part of our case came, Tim offered great representation and consulted with other legal personnel to save us cont. Months of court visits. We are happy to have our sweet boy permanently in our family.

Tim Eirich is an excellent attorney that is an expert in the area that we needed most. We had a long, complicated adoption case & he was available to answer questions, told us what to expect at hearings, & how the navigate the twists & turns of the welfare/court system. We hired him so that we had an advocate for us & he gave us peace of mind that was worth every penny. He’s very dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate. We highly recommend him for foster and/or adoptive parents; he is a pleasure to work with & will act in the best interest of his clients no matter the situation! Thank you, Tim!

Tim was very good at giving us the FULL PICTURE as it referred to our granddaughters relationship to our county legal and social services groups. He was excellent in making sure all parties were fully understanding what direction we wanted things to go. He was in our corner and guided all our court apperances and meetings professionally. We would recommend Tim for his knowledge and even demeanor.

I hired Tim to intervene on a D&N case that quickly escalated into chaos. Tim was attentive with addressing my needs and advocating for the young child in my home. He walked me through each step of the process and made things feel much more manageable, especially during high stress times. Tim is worth every penny- he is well respected in the community and advocates tirelessly for his clients. Thank you Tim for all you do!

My husband and I were the only placement option available for our grandchild. We gladly agreed to the placement and began the extremely complicated process of being involved in a DHS case. We hired Tim to help us navigate and we finally felt we had “a voice in the room”. Tim has the ability to mix professionalism and compassion with honesty. He was able to help us understand the nuances of the system, and our place in it as kinship caregivers/special respondents. Tim made sure we had as much information as possible before making choices related to the case. He was always willing to answer questions. He made it clear that he would support our decisions. Tim put a lot of effort into communicating with us on a regular basis. If he wasn’t available, needed to reschedule, or had to ask a colleague to cover for him, we knew about it with plenty of notice. Tim was able to accommodate our schedule for meetings and telephone calls and he was always available by email. Tim’s easy manner allowed me to feel comfortable contacting him when needed. He never seemed bothered or irritated, and was willing to help. I would highly recommend Tim Eirich and consider ourselves fortunate to have worked with him! Everyone we worked with from his firm was professional and extremely competent.

We hired Tim Eirich in 2015 when our adopted son was headed to residential treatment for his complicated mental health problems, fetal alcohol issues, early neglect etc that resulted in impossible behaviors at home and his beginning to sexually assault girls even though he was only 12 at the time. It was not clear to us that we could handle his needs even after he entered residential treatment. Tim was extremely knowledgeable about our options, weighing them carefully at the time of the decision and what the consequences of those decisions may mean for us later. We felt very well-guided and grateful to have someone so competent, thoughtful and articulate. What happened next could not have been more bizarre. Our son's equine therapist - who knew how much we were struggling - approached us and asked to adopt our son. We agreed and proceeded through legal, legitimate channels to transition him to her care. Turned out, she had more significant mental health problems than our son did. She became combative, delusional and openly psychotic. She did not adopt our son, but rather filed for allocation of parents rights. Because our son has been in her care for >6 months, she had more legal rights over him than we did. This was a very strange time with incredible stress and now monthly child support payments that did not end until our son was 19. Tim was a calming voice throughout and we knew we had excellent counsel if we needed it at any time. Our situation was very strange and is fortunately over now. We would recommend Tim highly and without hesitation.

There is no one that understands laws for foster children better than Tim. He literally was educating everyone in our courtroom when he represented us. He wasn’t aggressive, but a complete realist in terms of what we should expect and the actions we should take. We’re very anxious people and he answered every question we had with the utmost patience. Don’t hesitate to consult with and then hire Tim if you need to. He’s the smartest guy around.

Tim was recommended to my wife and I by a number of other foster parents when our foster daughters case reached a point where we felt compelled to intervene. From the initial consultation through the end of the case, Tim always acted professional, patient and confident. He always took the time to explain things to us that I am sure he has explained a thousand times before to other clients and never left us feeling like we were being annoying. Tim's professionalism and knowledge of the law are incredible, you can almost feel the respect he garners from other lawyers and judges when he appears in court. My wife and I are so thankful for Tim and without question, we would recommend his services to anyone in need.

We hired Tim for a complicated case we had for our foster daughter that we had since birth. I really can’t say enough about Tim and all the work he did for us. He is Incredibly professional and knows the law. He represented us in court during trial hearings and walked us through the process so we knew exactly what to expect. He broke down emails and different court documents we got that didn’t make sense to my husband or I. He would get answers for us when no one else would. He would check in regularly to go anything new and make sure all our questions were answered. What was a very stressful time to adopt our daughter he made us feel at ease. It was great having someone so smart and professional and really someone that Judges respect represent us in court. I can’t say thank you enough! We won our case and if you Need someone to help you I would 100% recommend Tim Eirich.

Tim was instrumental in helping us win a year-long, complex inter-state custody case with multiple parties involved. Tim’s approach was always well thought-out and professional. At all times Tim provided sound counsel and helped prepare us for difficult court proceedings. When you are navigating through moments of uncertainty you want someone on your side that will have a vested interest achieving the best possible outcome for you and your family. Although it’s not possible to make guarantees when dealing with complicated legal matters, it is reassuring when your legal counsel makes your case their own case. It could be the difference between having a favorable outcome or not. We highly recommend hiring Tim as legal counsel!

No one could ever imagine being in this situation. With our 1st grandson (a premier) being taken away from his parents, due to injuries that were unexplainable, we needed expert legal advice and direction. We were referred to Tim Eirich by our daughters attorney. We could not have been more pleased with the process and the outcome. In a nutshell, Tim was able to assist us in getting our grandson out of foster care and into our care. And eventually he was placed in the care of his parents. We are beyond thankful for his service. As you can imagine, this is one of the most stressful situations in which one can ever find themselves. You feel as though you have no control over anything. Tim kept us cool and collected in times where we were anything but. His clear, concise advice guided us through the most difficult of times. He truly cared about us and our grandson and was always accessible. If one ever finds themselves in need of Mr. Eirich’s expertise, I wouldn’t hesitate to secure him as your attorney.

We have hired Tim twice and we are beyond grateful for his representation. He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced; he knows child welfare law inside and out. He has helped litigate landmark cases that have changed Colorado child welfare law to benefit of children and has supported children and families throughout the state. There is no question he is an expert in his field, the best of the best. While he is skilled and well versed in law, what truly sets Tim apart is that he is a good human who clearly cares about the children and families involved in his cases. From the first meeting with him, his sincerity and authenticity is apparent. He has a gentle sense of humor that helps diffuse emotionally charged situations. Tim is honest. He gives trustworthy legal advice based not only on the law but on what is moral and ethical. A client can feel confident he will only accept a case for the right reasons. He will be honest and forthcoming throughout the case, even when it may be difficult to hear or to his financial detriment. When recommending him to others, we always share that the first time we met with him he actually recommended we not becoming involved in the case. He didn’t feel there was sufficient grounds and felt it might be harmful to the situation in the long run. He was absolutely right and he guided us based on what was ethical rather than possible personal financial gain. Along these lines, we have found him to be highly ethical in his billing practices. He seems to round down in his billing hours and doesn’t seem to charge for shorter calls and emails. Once he drove two hours in a snow storm to attend court. He easily could have charged extra for travel time since there were slow, precarious driving conditions that doubled his commute, but he did not. His skilled representation is worth every cent we’ve ever paid, but it is worth mentioning because it’s a concrete illustration of his basic ethics. He is ethical in all he does. Tim is also wise and calm with an inherent talent for law. Child welfare cases can be emotional at times. He keeps level headed in all situations and is able to deduce and present all possible courses of action in an understandable manner. He has excellent instincts and is spot on with his recommendations and evaluations of situations. In short, Tim is simply an very good person on top of being an excellent lawyer. The outcome of his representation impacts our daily life in the most profoundly beautiful ways and we recommended him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a child welfare lawyer.
