There are many criticisms about attorneys, that aren't typically positive, that they're out for money and don't really care
That was not my experience working with Griffith's Law.
My case was extremely difficult and high conflict and lasted for several years. I started off with a different firm who I will keep unnamed but is one that likely pops up with a lot of stout advertising, a larger firm. Soon I realized I probably did not have the right representation. I found Griffith's Law. A smaller but mighty boutique firm that is family owned. Quickly it became evident that Suzanne and her team was the right firm for me in my case. This is where Anthony Zarsky and Cailin Degeorge were appointed as my representation, and I was fortunate they were.
Anthony Zarsky gave me more than just representation. He was always honest with me even when it was hard to hear. He gave me a clear picture of what to expect which was not what I had been told previously. It wasn't that it was necessarily negative, it was just more realistic, more clear and defined and he gave a good explanation as to why. Whenever there was a choice for me to make, he spent the time explaining the pros and cons and risk's of each. He always guided me in what things to challenge and what to agree on, to prioritize the best outcome. Throughout the case he kept my head clear, gave me constructive feedback that helped change the way I think, and ultimately helped me be a better person. I think it's important that when we're in an emotional state that somebody gives you good advice and tells what I could be doing better to help myself. This allowed me to be more effective at parenting in an extremely high in conflict emotional circumstance. He gave me the perspectives to think through when co-parenting. Anthony was not just good for me and my case, but he was also better for our child - because he kept that as the focus. There were many times that I wanted to give up, but Anthony was my support and kept me going. He truly became a person to me not just a hired attorney, like a family member. He would often check in on me to make sure I was doing okay, would always check in on my feelings, give encouragement. He's a good person and it's evident he's not just a good attorney, he is passionate about his work which makes him even better. We need to be honest with ourselves, when going through a divorce it's extremely emotional and we're not always thinking the best, it's easy to get fixated on the wrong things. He always treated opposing council and party with respect even when it was not reciprocated, in fact he was often disrespected. Always remained professional.
Anthony uses a strategic approach rather than being blunt and aggressive. This is not to say he's not capable of being aggressive, but he is more surgical. His approach proved to me he was ethical, honest and made every effort to save money when possible. But most importantly he put our child ahead of all else. Nobody ever wins in a high conflict case. But I am certain if I did not have Anthony the outcome would have been much different.
I am so grateful that I ultimately ended up with Anthony at Griffith's Law. It was impressive to realize that when Anthony was not available things were never delayed or left unattended until he returned. It was amazing to see even senior partners getting involved in my case to cover in his absence. The entire staff and everybody involved with this firm are quality people who genuinely care. I have all the confidence that if you choose Griffith's Law you will be happy that you did, your livelihood is what's on the line if you choose wrong. I couldn't imagine myself recommending any other firm.

I went in expecting a stuff lawyer that just wanted to get you in and out. With April that wasnt the case. I felt welcome when i arrived for my appointment. She made sure that I understood everything involved in the process, and made sure that she understood my situation. And she really cares about her clients and wants whats best for her clients. I couldn't be happier with the job she did for me. I would recomend her to anybody that ends up in the same situation i was in. If your thinking about hiring April, do it you won't regret it.

Ron
Ron is handling my post-decree legal issues. He completed a complicated Coast Guard title transfer of my sailing yacht, including getting my ex off title. This was difficult because my ex was living in Australia at the time and Ron got the court clerk to sign the Coast Guard documents and worked with the Coast Guard to make the transfer. Ron is now working on gettting my spousal maintenance modified.
Ron has been persistent, caring, and thorough in his representation of me. He has demonstrated the highest level of integrity and is remarkably knowledgeable about family law, working with the courts and with the Coast Guard. His office and staff are pleasant, compassionate and responsive. I highly recommend this attorney.

I discovered at a very late date that I was uncomfortably close to my statue of limitations for a personal injury case - which I found out creates numerous complications that would not be there were there more time. My case was complex. Mr. Landry was caring and compassionate in listening to my details and he reached out to me numerous times over a week-plus trying to help. Many, many other lawyers turned me down because of the time limits and Mr Landry was willing to take my case even though some of the specifics of it were out of his practice range. He was willing to do simply because he knew that I had a good case but had not been able to find another lawyer at such a late date. He offered many suggestions and was always positive and willing to try different options, and he researched areas he did not know well. At all times he was humorous and understanding. I ultimately found a lawyer who had much experience in the nuances of my case so I did not end up hiring Mr. Landry. When I told him, he was gracious even though he had spent a fair amount of time with me. He then sincerely wished me the best - and even asked me to let him know how things turned out.
To my mind, the mark of a great lawyer is one with heart and a willingness to help, as well as a willingness to think out of the box. You will find this - and more - in Mr. Landry.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Lone Tree, 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.

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. -
