I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. West; whose service has proven to be exceptionally valuable, supportive, and distinguished. I believe Mr. West stands out as a true exemplar of legal professionalism and dedicated service. He and his team's unwavering commitment to the betterment of clients, their issues, and the community has been both evident and impactful. Through years of principled dedication, particularly in my extended family law issue, he became a beacon of rationality and disciplined thought which proved vital for my survival during the chaos of an extended custody battle. What distinguishes Mr. West is his profound dedication to ensuring that I received not only expert legal guidance but also compassionate support during my contentious family law situation. His principles and unwavering dedication have significantly contributed to resolving my conflict with integrity and sensitivity. I firmly believe that when seeking counsel, particularly in family law cases where emotions often run high, Mr. West and his team should be at the forefront of consideration.

I am so thankful to have found Greg Quimby and his team to represent me and in such short notice take on my case. In only 2 weeks before my final court they were on top of my case and made miracles happen. Everyone was so friendly, understanding, and compassionate. I am extremely appreciative of all of them and what they did for me especially because they won my case. I was extremely impressed with Greg and his team's knowledge as well as his presence in the court room was amazing and very respectable. Walking into the courtroom i felt at peace knowing he was on my side representing me and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. 100% recommend!

I have been a repeat client of this office due to the fact that they are amazing! I have never experienced bad customer service from anyone. Between my husband and I, we have retained Erica for 3 separate cases/incidents. They work hard to make sure you're heard, and Erica and Susan don't let anyone push them around, and nothing slips by them. I REALLY hope to never have to spend money on attorneys again. However, if I do, I will most definitely contact the Law Office of Greg Quimby! I feel like they're family!

I wish I could give this place 0 stars! My husband and I separated a decade ago, we have 3 kids together, my husband hired this law office to represent him to go after split custody, however my husband and I worked things out a week after hiring them and we NEVER went to court, this law firm submitted 1 document for him to the court but we NEVER made it in front of a judge for them to ever represent him. This place then sued my husband for $5k because he signed a document saying he would hire them to represent him, they didn’t care that they never represented him and that we worked things out, all they cared about was the money and don’t truly care about the “best interest of the families they represent” I think that’s beyond messed up they would sue him for what?!?! Till this day my poor husband is still paying on this debt because it has incurred thousands in interest the longer it sits not being fully paid off. We have paid $3000 and still owe over $11,000 for absolutely nothing! By the time they finally get paid off we will have probably paid close to $20k! I would never recommend this law firm to anyone unless you want them to help you destroy your life and put a financial burden on your family.

My son had Stephen McWhirter represent him in his divorce case. My son’s ex-wife was allowed to lie and defame my son’s character and his ability to parent without being confronted during a cross examine. Mr McWhirter allowed the other attorney to take all the time, delay the final hearing and claim she had full consent from my son before submitting the final hearing to the court. McWhirter not only didn’t stand up for my son but didn’t even stand up for himself with the opposing attorney. $25,000 to be drug through the mud. Disgusting.

My husband and I have hired Beth Hunt to do our estate planning. She explained everything to us and drafted all the documents. She is experienced and detail-oriented. After we signed the documents, she sent follow-up emails to make sure we will move our assets under the trust so we are fully protected from probate. Beth made a daunting task easy and the process is very smooth. I strongly recommend her service. - Mike and Jennifer

The Gasper Law Group, and specifically Randy Koonce, was incredibly helpful in assisting my family and me with our estate plans. Due to unforeseen medical circumstances, we needed a quick turnaround, and Randy and his team exceeded our expectations. We visited on Monday, and by Wednesday, we were reviewing and signing our estate plans, which included a Last Will and Testament, General Durable Power of Attorney, and Medical Power of Attorney. Randy was thorough and took the time to answer all our questions. I highly recommend this firm and their team for anyone in need of estate planning services. Thank you Randy, Therese, and Pam for your help and for putting our minds at ease.

This firm has lawyers in different cities who join on under the Messner Reeves umbrella. Those lawyers turn in their charges to the billing department at the Messner Reeves headquarters in Denver which then sends bills to clients. My lawyer, through Messner Reeves, was Ms. Bartels in Colorado Springs. I would pay one of their/her bills only to have another pop up with charges dated before the bill I had paid -- in other words backdated. Dozens of backdated charges would pop up weeks and even months after I'd pay a bill the date of which was a later date than the new charges! It was total chaos. I complained to the billing department at Messner Reeves in Denver, and was told there had been other complaints and my complaint would be forwarded to the president. Never heard back, so I assumed they had erased the bill as the charges could not possibly be verified by the client. That was months ago. Today, two days before Christmas I received another Messner Reeves bill with many new charges added to the bill I complained about -- the new charges were backdated, by Ms. Bartels, to June!! It's an endless loop that appears to be some sort of a scam. There is no being paid in full as charges back in time can be created and billed to you months later. I changed lawyers months ago because the representation was ineffective. In one week, with a phone call, a letter and a meeting, my new lawyer got farther for a fraction of what Ms. Bartels billed me for over the course of months. Before changing lawyers, I would despair at how nothing was being done. Ms. Bartels even told me she didn't read my emails then billed me for reading my emails! I don't know how I'm going to get out of this endless billing loop. Steer clear of this law firm. The fact that they allow such chaotic billing for unverifiable charges indicates something is very, very wrong. (Btw, my new lawyer issues a straightforward bill each month that I can easily check with my records, and his firm NEVER back dates charges to slip in with later months' bills.)

We have had the pleasure of working with Brenda Bartels at Messner and Reeves law firm in Colorado Springs over the past few years, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service she has provided. Brenda has been instrumental in assisting us with various contracts, demonstrating her expertise and attention to detail at every step. When we faced contract issues in Tennessee and California, Brenda didn't hesitate to refer us to her capable colleagues, ensuring we received seamless support across different states. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication are truly commendable. Brenda consistently goes above and beyond to meet our needs, and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance. She undoubtedly deserves a 5-star rating!

I had some potential landlord concerns after my brother passed away and I was left to handle his estate. I reached out to Fortenberry to prepare for any potential legal problems I could run into with the landlord. There was a bit of confusion during the beginning of the consultation; but once it was cleared up, Jot helped me out and he got an agreement put together for me. Luckily, I ended up not having any issues with the landlord and the sale of my brother's property processed smoothly. Having Fortenberry available and ready to assist me right away was a huge relief during this time. Just knowing that I had a legal representative I could reach out to in case I had questions or ran into trouble really helped me get through a difficult situation. Thank you!

A Life-Changing Attorney: Elizabeth Vanatta I am writing this review as a testament to the exceptional legal representation and guidance I have received from Attorney Elizabeth Vanatta since 2020. Throughout our journey together, Elizabeth has been a constant source of support, expertise, and care, helping me navigate the darkest times of my life and emerge stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever. Elizabeth's unwavering dedication to her clients is truly inspiring. She has a unique ability to balance empathy with tough love, pushing me to be a better father and individual, even when the road ahead seemed uncertain. Her mantra, "She can't help those who are not trying to help themselves," has stuck with me and become a guiding principle in my life. It's a reminder that with hard work, determination, and the right guidance, anyone can overcome adversity and achieve their goals. One of Elizabeth's greatest strengths is her tireless work ethic. She is always available, including weekends, to address my concerns and provide valuable advice. Her ability to think creatively and develop innovative solutions to complex problems has been invaluable to my case. Time and time again, she has demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a mastery of the litigation process, consistently presenting well-researched and well-prepared arguments in court. What sets Elizabeth apart from other attorneys I have worked with is her genuine care and concern for her clients. She is not just a lawyer; she is a trusted advisor, a confidante, and a role model. Her passion for justice and her commitment to fighting for what is right are evident in everything she does. I have witnessed her in litigation numerous times, and her preparation, expertise, and poise under pressure are truly impressive. If you are considering hiring an attorney, I would highly recommend Elizabeth Vanatta. However, I must caution that she is not for everyone. If you are not willing to take her advice, listen to her guidance, and put in the effort required to achieve a successful outcome, then you may not be the best fit for her services. But if you are willing to work hard, trust her expertise, and follow her lead, I have no doubt that you will achieve exceptional results. In my opinion, Elizabeth Vanatta is the top attorney in Colorado Springs. Her professionalism, caring nature, and unparalleled preparation make her a formidable opponent in the courtroom. I have seen her present binders full of evidence, meticulously organized and thoroughly researched, to support her arguments. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are traits that set her apart from other attorneys

Stay as far away from these people as you can. Hiring Elizabeth was the worst decision that I had made for me and my kids, complete waste of time and money, and I believe that they damaged my case beyond what I could have ever imagined. Do yourself and your kids a favor and go anywhere else.

A Life-Changing Attorney: Elizabeth Vanatta I am writing this review as a testament to the exceptional legal representation and guidance I have received from Attorney Elizabeth Vanatta since 2020. Throughout our journey together, Elizabeth has been a constant source of support, expertise, and care, helping me navigate the darkest times of my life and emerge stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever. Elizabeth's unwavering dedication to her clients is truly inspiring. She has a unique ability to balance empathy with tough love, pushing me to be a better father and individual, even when the road ahead seemed uncertain. Her mantra, "She can't help those who are not trying to help themselves," has stuck with me and become a guiding principle in my life. It's a reminder that with hard work, determination, and the right guidance, anyone can overcome adversity and achieve their goals. One of Elizabeth's greatest strengths is her tireless work ethic. She is always available, including weekends, to address my concerns and provide valuable advice. Her ability to think creatively and develop innovative solutions to complex problems has been invaluable to my case. Time and time again, she has demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a mastery of the litigation process, consistently presenting well-researched and well-prepared arguments in court. What sets Elizabeth apart from other attorneys I have worked with is her genuine care and concern for her clients. She is not just a lawyer; she is a trusted advisor, a confidante, and a role model. Her passion for justice and her commitment to fighting for what is right are evident in everything she does. I have witnessed her in litigation numerous times, and her preparation, expertise, and poise under pressure are truly impressive. If you are considering hiring an attorney, I would highly recommend Elizabeth Vanatta. However, I must caution that she is not for everyone. If you are not willing to take her advice, listen to her guidance, and put in the effort required to achieve a successful outcome, then you may not be the best fit for her services. But if you are willing to work hard, trust her expertise, and follow her lead, I have no doubt that you will achieve exceptional results. In my opinion, Elizabeth Vanatta is the top attorney in Colorado Springs. Her professionalism, caring nature, and unparalleled preparation make her a formidable opponent in the courtroom. I have seen her present binders full of evidence, meticulously organized and thoroughly researched, to support her arguments. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are traits that set her apart from other attorneys

She was my attorney for approximately 12 months in an emotionally charged legal separation; which provided me enough time to appreciate her attentiveness, customer loyalty, integrity, responsiveness and heighten skill to track "billable hours." However, when the potential to collect on thousands of dollars in billable hours dwindle (as she had done in the past) so did her responsiveness and her availability to resolve very pertinent issues.

I am very disturbed with unethical manner in which my family was "represented " for lack of a better term. I would suggest not paying upfront because then the job is already done with nothing left to work for. Very disheartening for the amount of money and stress. If I would have stayed with this firm I would not be free right now. I had better luck and support from the public defender.

This firm was assigned to handle my Uncle's trust to disseminate it amongst the heirs. It's been 16 months since his death. All his bills and home and effects were dealt with the first month. We all received information about what was in the trust and our portion. No communication since. I'm starting to wonder if this lawyer intends to just charge the trust monthly until he's stolen the whole thing. On the whole, it's been a very disheartening situation that confirms everything we were ever told about lawyers.

Bridgette is an absolutely amazing attorney. She has represented me on several occasions and has always done a great job. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of such services. Bridgette has approached every one of my cases with precision and professionalism. She balances the need to be stern and flexible when in negotiations and knows her way in the court room. Her knowledge of Colorado Family Law is impressive to say the least! Her rates are very fair and she does not create a lot of excess issues within a case to run up costs. Ashlyn is an amazing paralegal who is extremely helpful and competent. She is very articulate and performs her job well. She responds back quickly when questions need to be answered or information needs to be relayed. She is an excellent resource for both attorney and clients. Kaczmarek law firm provides the exact type of representation you want and deserve from a family law attorney! Bridgette and Ashlyn provide the perfect balance of a personalized and professional services for their clients. Both ladies are excellent at what they do and work really well together. I have always felt well represented and confident by using this law firm!

I wanted to take a moment to make sure I recognize my Attorney Pat Marrison. At first I didn´t think I had a case but thought I would take a chance and request a consult with her. Marrison Law had handled my divorce over 10 years ago. My ex husband was retired military and Marrison Law made sure I received what I was entitled to when we originally divorced. My ex decided he did not want to continue to make payments. We were married for more than 10 years. For those of you out there that don´t know what you are entitled to as a spouse to a military service member. I would encourage you to use Marrison law. Attorney Marrison took my call at the end of her busy day and advised me on what I could do before hiring her services. She is truly a woman of integrity and highly experienced in military divorces. It played out just as she said. She did not have to do that. Thank you, Attorney Marrison thanks to your free consultation I was able to get my ex to start sending my payments again. Make sure you know your rights property and Alimony are 2 different types of payments. Attorney Marrison is incredibly patient, and kind. She will answer all of your concerns. She will help alleviate any doubt and fears of how to proceed. I highly recommend her firm and if I have any issues again I will surely hire her as my attorney. Thank You Attorney Marrison and God Bless you.

I had a very difficult divorce. I hired another attorney first and her firm screwed up a protection order hearing so bad I knew I needed help. Bob came very highly recommended and now I see why. I met with him and was impressed by how frank and honest he was. My situation meant there was a good chance I would have to sell my house and business to be able to come to a settlement agreement. Bob helped me take the emotion out of the process and treat it as a business transaction, which is really what divorce is, and make logical and fair arguments to begin making progress. He and Michelle help my hand through the process and made sure to explore all the options. We came to a fair custody agreement for my kids and ex. In the end, I was able to keep my house and my business and begin my new life. I recommend Bob and Michelle to anyone who has to go through this, it will be 10 times harder without them. Thank you so much to the Robert Clothier law firm!

DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN !!! I do not even know where to begin. If you are entertaining retaining Mr. Clothier and his team please please pay atention to the following! They are very personable so I thought I was in good hands however Mr. Clothier and his team are just horrificaly incompetent. - They made a 100k dollar mathmatical error that I caught at mediation on the value of my house. -The billing is not tracked accuratley at all so realy document everything. They will ask for documents several times and then bill you every time. - The unorganization is awful, Mr. Clothier literaly forgot I was the one who Filed for divorce.

I would not recommend Robert Clothier as an attorney. He was dishonest, unprofessional, and not well-spoken during the hearing. He repeatedly started a sentence, stopped, tried to rephrase and then would finally finish his thought, coming across as very unpolished. He also could not keep a straight face during some of his questioning. He has the typical stereotype personality of an arrogant attorney.

I hired Tammy through Marble Law-neither of which I would recommend. I paid $5000 for a RESPONSE to a petition of divorce. When it recently came time to do mediations-I was told by both marble and Tammy that the service was not included and was completely blindsided. When I talked to Tammy, she advised to talk to Marble. When I talked to Marble, they advised to talk to Tammy. I feel completely used, disregarded, and out of the loop in MY OWN case. I have been working with Tammy since June- Not once have I met her. She was difficult the entire time to get ahold of, her paralegal team was not friendly anytime I called, Tammy missed meetings, and wouldn't respond to me for almost WEEKS at a time. I went into her office one time to sign papers-and they didn't even have the correct address on google! So as a single mom, with her 4 year old, was sent to two different places. (small side note-but shows how irresponsible this office really was) To her credit, she tried to make it right once or twice, but it seemed that every time she would try to make it right, she would follow it up with another wrong pretty short there after-and I would be brought to tears from how upset I was again and again. I am disappointed in Tammy and her team, and am disappointed in Marble law. In my opinion, I would steer clear of both of them if you are seeking legal help-you won't find it here.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

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:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

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

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
