We engaged Josh to draft a contract for a FSBO home purchase. We were first time home buyers navigating the process without a RE agent, and Josh went above and beyond to draft our contract quickly and work with us to understand each element of the agreement. Josh is highly knowledgeable and gave us the confidence to move through the process without any issues. I will definitely reach out for any RE legal matters in the future.

Josh was great! He assisted with a residential property sale, and although his involvement was minimal due to the nature of the transaction, he helped with reviewing contracts as well as providing insight and feedback that was helpful for the deal. Thanks for the help Josh!

I reached out to Josh for help with an off market real estate acquisition, more specifically drafting and negotiating the contract. The seller was a foreign investor and his lawyer was clearly not a real estate attorney. Josh was incredibly knowledgeable, regularly available, had great communication skills and offered a wealth of information, explaining clauses and/or issues in plain english terms. He also worked with the non-real estate attorney to address his / the seller's issues, pushing back on the many non-standard requests for changes to the contract. He was instrumental to getting the deal closed quickly. I highly recommend Josh to anybody needing real estate related legal services.

She's always very professional, but also caring and kind. We needed a trust drafted to protect our mom's estate and assets, she had everything updated and taken care of quickly. She left nothing for us to worry about, which made the process seamless and stress free.

A few years back I was confronted with a legal problem not of my doing. I received several referrals one of which was Steve Feder. Having never been in this situation before I was frightened, bewildered and angry. Steve helped me to better understand the situation, the court system and prepared me for the hearing. While this was my first time in court I had worked with many attorneys in the past primarily through my work as a compliance officer in financial services and as a business owner. The one thing that really stood out to me was that Steve listened and offered suggestions. Unfortunately, many prior dealings with attorneys I was too often told what I could not do, rather than what I could do. I found Steve to be fair, ethical and knowledgable. He went out of his way to make certain my wife and I knew what we were facing. The hearing was quickly dismissed by the judge.

Steve was recommended to me by an ex-SEC lawyer in private practice. Absolutely the best lawyer I could have had during the 2 years it took to grind through the process for a civil matter. He knew all the players in Denver and he knew how to respond to every game played by the other side. When he felt it was required, he had the contacts to bring other law firms to help with the case. When they went shopping for what they felt was a more favorable jurisdiction, he was prepared to travel across the country to defend my case. Fought for every small detail and handled the final mediation. Would recommend him to anyone who needs a litigator/fighter on their side.

I met Carl through a mutual friend. I have needed to put together my will, etc... for several years, and have procrastinated long enough. Carl took all my information, asked all the right questions, explained to me what I could and could not do, and was helpful through the whole process. Having things ( possessions as well as family) spread out across the country, this was far from simple. He made the appropriate contacts in the other states, to take care of everything I needed legally, and at a reasonable price. Very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I will continue to use him as my family attorney.

It's not a day go by that I don't think of Tae D. He became part of our family. I was told my case would be very hard to win and that we should get a court appointed attorney. My husband came to this country to work and provide for our family here and abroad but one night our lives changed forever. He was accursed of sexual assault on the job. I was scared and lost. My husband went to jail for the first time in his life. I called around to friends for advice and this name kept coming up...Tae Darnell. I called and that's when the magic started to happen. Tae got My husband out of jail, he gave us the name of his private investigator, we met constantly and he even brought on 2 more attorneys. This was a hard case, she was white he was black-African and we were in an all white area...I seriously just wanted to give up. But not Tae, he say said trust me...my team and I will get you guys out of this horrible mess. And he they did. The truth came out. She wanted money from the company we worked for. But we won!!! and the she ended up having to pay us $250,000. We haven't seen the money but we have our life back. Honestly if it wasn't for Tae D I would not have gotten my life back. Thanks Tae

Mr. Furtado was instrumental in our successful resolution of a large hail damage claim against the insurance company. He was extremely knowledgeable and his advice and strategy was absolutely client focused. His main objective was to get our damages covered. Most attorneys in this field seem to be focused on getting a reasonable settlement with with as little effort as possible. Others we interviewed were not as passionate or knowledgeable and were clearly focused on a quick settlement and little effort on their part. David understood our real need to get a new roof etc and kept this at the forefront and was willing to keep fighting until we were satisfied. Next time I will skip the public adjuster and go straight to David Furtado's firm.

David helped me with a domestic violence case that was complicated by exaggerated claims from the victim. My desired outcome was a deferred judgement which was not happening as long as the court had reason not to. David used extensive knowledge of procedural motions and the prosecution to gain victory after many months of work. It was costly. But I am convinced I could have paid much more or worse, ended up with a domestic violence conviction permanently on my record.

I hired Craig to help me retrieve earnest money owed to me from a buyer after a failed house closing. The buyer had refused to pay any of the earnest money specified in a real estate contract, though I as seller had met all contract obligations. Craig presented me various options on how to proceed and discussed each option in detail, including cost-benefit analysis. Together we developed a strategy of recovery based on several of those options. In just two short, powerful emails to the buyer, Craig elicited a most favorable outcome. Craig gets my highest recommendation.

I met Michael first in 2012 while prepping a film we were shooting in Denver. At first he was kind enough to volunteer his time to help us get a tax rebate, which he successfully did. A few days prior to principal photography we ran into trouble with one of the financiers, which threatened to collapse the financing. To make a long story short, we officially hired him and he rectified the situation and forced the financier to fulfill his obligation and saved the production We hired him again recently to review and modify a few production contracts and again did a terrific job.

Mike is a true professional! I hired him to oversee all my personal and business legal matters. He is thorough, knowledgable, reliable and easy to work with. I always felt he had my best interests in mind and trusted his advice. Though he handled several of my business contracts, one that specifically comes to mind was a client who kept changing his mind and adding or subtracting negotiation points. I was getting extremely confused and frustrated. Mike was able to calm me down and help see the negotiation process through to final contract. What made this even more memorable and appreciated was that he availed himself to me and the client all through the holiday time between Christmas and the new year because the client was at a time crunch to finalize the contract. Like doctors that won't make house calls anymore, finding that kind of customer service from an attorney is also, for most cases, a lost benefit. Though I have relocated to a different state now, Mike will be the attorney I will call first for legal advice.

I hired Ben Lebsack upon the recommendation of a friend, and Ben came through for me 100%. He offered me advise, guidance, and support throughout the entire process of filing a legal complaint against my employer; later, he represented me in the mediation. I found Ben's fees to be more than reasonable, and he was always available whenever I had questions. This in itself was invaluable! Ben is highly knowledgeable about employment law and was always generous about sharing this knowledge with me, which I appreciated. Without hesitation, I would recommend Ben to anyone who finds themselves in a situation at work where legal help or advice is needed. He will give you his honest opinion and lay out the legal options for you. After I hired Ben, I felt reassured and was able to get through this difficult time successfully.

Lyle has proven himself to be consistently efficient and reliable since our first meeting in 2013. My first need was to establish my S Corporation, upon relocating here from back East - and Lyle walked me through the process and enabled me to register my enterprise swiftly and without stress. Subsequently, over my years here, he has helped me answer questions and address issues regarding my father's estate and a business dispute which involved non-performance of contract deliverables. In every case, he has been responsive and empathetic beyond any previous experience that I have had with an attorney - and I have been highly impressed by his breadth of knowledge and his willingness to guide me in any challenge I am facing - drawing in additional expertise, as needed. I take great comfort in having him as a partner and know that I can count on him to provide sound advice and counsel when required. And his accessibility via phone or email is remarkable. I recommend his services highly - and without reservation.
