I worked very closely with Meredith Quinlivan on a litigation case. She was very patient as we walked through the process together. She was diligent about collecting facts and always informing me of how the case was going. Our final settlement was very fair. I would recommend Meredith Quinlivan as a litigation attorney.

FYI the review by Eliana McMillan, she’s the Recruter who got over16k for placing me here. They had my regular review & said how great I was doing & the very next week they called me in to say, we’re going in a different direction, we have nothing bad to say about you, you’re a good worker, said by partner during lay-off meeting.They provided a measly severance, which if I did file for unemployment, I would’ve won hands down. they threw a couple pennies at me thinking it would prevent a claim of unemployment. The only reason they offered the chump change was in hopes (in their mind) it would save them from a claim.I’m very employable, I wouldn’t waste my time. During the layoff, there was an “hr” girl in the room, she didn’t say anything, her and the partner just stared at one another and avoided looking at me. Nothing further was said to me, I was waiting to hear about final pay benefits, pay, nothing, I was left with no information, very unprofessional.Very classless they let me go the very last day of the month so my health benefits were immediately terminated. This put me in a very difficult situation re:continue health treatment I was going through.They also prevented (& continue) me from withdrawing my funds from my HSA. From the looks of it, they plan on keeping my money. They probably figure they are lawyers & can do whatever they want, they are bullies & that is my $ for healthcare. It has been about three months since I left the company and I’m still trying to get my HSA funds. Also they didn’t report my hsa funds on my w2. I took this job through the recruiting agency, through information & belief, they know this company treats their employees poorly.I gained no experience, they have no document management system, you work out of the drives on the computer.If you want another job, your new employer is going to view you as inexperienced because you have not developed any of the needed technological skills.If you don’t work with a document management system and a case management system such as Exterro or relativity and tabs, legal files, needles, pro law, your value is going to go way down. Working at this company will not provide you with experience & you need to stay marketable. Working at this company, will make your value godown.The paralegals are treated as admins & they have a receptionist doing legal assistant work, they have a 29-year-old with no accounting experience running the books and acting as hr, this place is Disorganized. If you value your career and see yourself staying in the legal field, I advised to stay far away from this company because it will do nothing but be a damaging blemish on your resume.This is a very personal experience, which had a very bad profound effect on my life, because they decided to be classless and cut my health benefits off the very same day they laid me off. Also the fact that I have not been able to get my HSA money and they’re doing nothing about it to get my earned money returned makes me think there is something fishy going on with their system. It’s horrible cutting somebody’s health benefits off the very same day that they lay a person off. And no cobra info was ever provided.This directly affirms that these partners and this company do not value their employees whatsoever. They are heartless, this had a profoundly negative impact on my health and on my livelihood. I believe the public needs to know what type of employer this is.I seriously considered not leaving a review, but my new coworkers and mentors advised me to because they said, how would you feel if this happened to someone else, you knew about it, & you didn’t report/review/warn about it. Aka re lay offs and loss of needed health benefits without warnining#me too movement (employers violating basic human decency). Speak up let other people know about places like this.Glass door keeps on deleting all Fowler reviews, so I’m going with the tried, true and honest..google review page. It really is the only honest review system out there. Don’t trust glassdoor employers pay for removal of bad reviews.

Chris Radeff and her team are conscientious, caring, and dedicated representatives for their clients. I know I got incredibly fortunate to find such fantastic legal counsel, and their dedication to doing what is right is incredible. They can't control the outcome (no one can or they would be called miracle workers, not lawyers), but they will do everything they can to help people obtain freedom and present the realities of the court system that clients are entering. I have always felt as though I were truly getting "counsel" from Ms. Radeff and her colleagues, and then I was able to make the decision about which move to make, and that they understand what is happening in my situation rather than seeing me as simply a source of income. If all law firms operated on the same principles as Radeff & Hart the world would be a much better place and lawyers generally would have a better reputation.

I hired Chris Radeff as a legal fee expert witness regarding opposing counsels attorneys fee following a divorce. Chris was extremely detailed in her report, very thorough on the stand, and very credible to the magistrate. Also important to note, she was very reasonable on her fees. I would recommend her as an expert witness and based from my experience, I would not hesitate to hire her as my primary attorney and highly recommend her.

I have worked together on the other side of cases with Chris Radeff many times over the years. She is professional, intelligent and works hard to focus on the needs of her clients without wasting clients time and funds over unnecessary arguments. She is a skilled courtroom attorney and a strong advocate for the practice of family law itself.

Jon Bradley helped me from the day I woke up from the medically induced coma to the day we closed my case. He helped me find a workmens comp lawyer. While I was waiting on the benefits to start from workmens comp Jon got some money from the at fault driver so I was able to pay my bills and settle all the leans I had on any other personal injury that was going to be awarded in the future. Jon Bradley and his team worked hard on going after my employers insurance. I had a long road to recovery and I was very happy I didn't have to worry about getting screwed by the insurance companies at every turn. Jon Bradley had my back or what was left of it and I couldn't image hiring another lawyer.

I was arrested at my Denver home in the summer of 2017. Without mentioning any specifics regarding my case I was facing a total of 11 charges. Over two thirds of the charges were very serious non-violent felonies. I was completely innocent of all charges but was involved in the case because I was hired by a company to work part time (roughly 8-10 hrs/week). After being arrested I came to find out that the company I worked for and all of the owners were into some very shady dealings. Unfortunately every employee that worked for this company guilty or innocent was arrested & accused of being involved in a criminal conspiracy. I had no previous knowledge of Rob Bernhardt & his staff until a good friend of mine referred me to Rob. 1 day later Rob showed up in person at Denver County to meet with me and discuss the situation. There was very little pressure from him to hire but he did mention he was absolutely the person for the job as he only deals with criminal cases. After hiring Rob I knew immediately I had made the right decision. I had complete trust in him from day 1 and knew he was doing everything possible to fight the false charges against me. He continued to work extremely hard in consistently speaking with the DA on my behalf. I was facing many many years in jail and potential of being a convicted felon....I know Rob & his team spent hundreds of hours reading and combing through thousands of pages of discovery regarding my case, over 3 terabytes of data. It was a very large and complicated case that took over 9 months to be resolved and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He was able to get all 11 charges dismissed & I know it was not an easy process. I would highly recommend Rob & his Office Manager/Paralegal Nic to anyone looking for representation. Rob is extremely trustworthy, has an amazing work ethic, knows Colorado Law inside and out, has great communication skills, and is a bulldog with the DA or the state when that's whats needed. When your reputation, your business, and most importantly your freedom is on the line and about to be taken away there is no other attorney I would trust or recommend more than Rob Bernhardt.

Near the beginning of 2015 I was falsely accused of a serious crime that threatened to ruin my reputation and greatly limit my freedom for life. When it first happened I hired a law firm that specialized in that type of crime and after putting down a large portion of my life savings, I thought that I had made a wise decision. The lawyer assigned to me was young and did not seem very enthusiastic about his work. Rather than work on a defense for me he referred me to specialists to pay more money for information that we would submit to the district attorney in hopes to compel them to take it easy on me. After spending thousands more on these services and getting nowhere with the DA, I was broke and heading to trial with a lawyer I couldn't trust... if I made another hefty deposit. Stuck in a bad spot, a friend of mine referred me to a lawyer who had helped him in a DUI case. It was Rob Bernhardt. After meeting him, I felt reinvigorated. I knew I was innocent and I had a lawyer I knew was going to battle with me. Rob gave me confidence and hope when no one else could. After making attempts to get somewhere with the DA, it was clear we would have to take them to court and win. With class and intellect, Bernhardt exposed the "witnesses'" and accuser's lies. He took on the prosecution's attempts to smear me. He rightfully proved to the jury that I was an innocent man. And in the end, I was acquitted. My life that was almost destroyed by a vindictive person and an overzealous district attorney was restored. My reputation saved. I cannot ever thank Robert Bernhardt enough for helping me in a time of dire straits and for doing so at a price I could afford. I recommend him to everyone who needs a lawyer and have referred multiple people to him. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Do not use Catherine Tieman for legal needs. She represented me in a complex case. She does not understand the laws or the application of them, and does not take the time to understand her client's needs. I recently met with other past clients of hers, who have had the same experience. While she is quite pleasant, she will charge you for every second of her time, even though some of her communications are written in a manner that don't make sense (so require follow up calls or emails to clarify). Billing for poor communication is a very effective money making strategy on her part, but will leave you frustrated, especially when adding her lack of ability.

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.
