We have a good knowledge of other facets of Law but of course we are not Personal Injury attorneys. It is refreshing to speak with someone who #1 Listens intently #2 is respectful of our knowledge and patient in his explanations of how things will work in this realm #3 Converses with us as team members and intellectual equals rather than being arrogant and condescending like so many other attorneys we have worked with through the years and he has earned our trust and respect.

Joshua Stoll was my lawyer for an accident that I had. He and his team were very professional. I am not very good with technology but had to use that as I live in another state so I just couldn't go into the office. Joshua and his team were very understanding.

Joshua Stoll is a great asset to his field of practice. I was struck by a hit and run - drunk driver. My life was turned upside down. I was a four month kidney transplant survivor at the time of the accident Joshua Stoll step in to my case right away, walked me through the process of getting my life back on track. He was in contact with Doctors, Insurance Company, PT appointments and so much more.. I recommend Joshua Stoll to handle your case needs. "You are not alone in your settlement and recovery journey"

I was denied for Social Security Disability. I hired a lawyer (not Jack) to appeal this decision. Unfortunately that lawyer did not file the appeal within the timeframe required. So I was denied again. Through a recommendation I met and hired Jack to continue the appeal process which was extremely difficult at this point. Jack was extremely persistent. He was very patient with me. He is very knowledgeable about the process needed to file and appeal Social Security Disability claims. I would highly recommend Jack to anyone going through this difficult process. My claim was approved and I am very thankful for Jack and the wonderful job he did. He is the best. I can't say thank you enough to this wonderful man.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Leprowse for issues and challenges I have been having with my social security disability insurance. He was extremely knowledgeable and he listened to all of my issues before deciding on a course of action to take. He is very wise and a great listener. I felt extremely taken care of by Mr. LeProwse. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks for our appointment and for your time. Kenny

We are now in our thirties with 3 kids, and Chuck helped us complete our estate planning. Chuck made the experience a positive one, even though this isn't a particularly fun subject for most people. We have peace of mind knowing we have taken this important step with someone we trust.

We recently relocated to Broomfield County and had previously written our own wills and medical powers-of-attorney. Now retired we wanted legal help to create a Family Trust and avoid any probate procedures. We got a recommendation from various sources and interviewed Tamra. We immediately determined she had the experience and patience we were looking for. She and her staff provided timely advice and documents to allow us to continually make progress and finalize a well prepared Family Trust supported by new wills and powers-of-attorney consistent with Colorado law. She was easy to communicate with on an ongoing basis and we had three detail meetings that really helped us understand and get advice. We would recommend Tamra for any Elder or Estate Law needs.

Never in my life have I had a lawyer fight so hard and with such passion on my behalf! She was dedicated, extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and professional. She always returned my calls almost immediately and knew my case and my specific health diagnoses better then some of my own doctors. I was completely blown away. She won case easily with her thoroughness and attention to detail. I cannot thank her enough! I refer all of my friends and family to her law firm and I will not go to any other law firm but hers! Absolutely amazing lawyer with amazing results!

After receiving a settlement with a different attorney, the numbers did not add up. Unfortunately I was not getting any response from our lawyer. With the help of Michelle Ciccone she reviewed the contract, settlement agreement and was able to help me through all of the legal terms. She assisted me with the drafting of letters to our attorney who was involved in our settlement. In the end Michelle helped us get what we deserved and kept us informed of our rights. Thanks to Michelle this matter has now been resolved, I just wish we could of had her as our first representing attorney in our matter. She is kind, responsive and very knowledgeable. In an dishonest world she is a light of honesty and we are truly grateful for the service she provided us.

I would highly recommend Jim Hofer as a lawyer. He was wonderful to deal with, and he looked out for me every step of the way after my car accident. I had to spend time in the hospital and then for months after I was recovering from my injuries. Jim Hofer was amazing and helped me to get better as he handled and made sure I understood the legal stuff along the way. He deeply cared for my well being and my family too. I never had anything like this car accident happen to me before, so it was nice having a good attorney there to help and protect me along the way.

I have worked with Margaret Polson for over 15 years. During that time, Margaret drafted and filed over 200 patents and various IP instruments for me and my company. And Margaret has helped manage over 60 challenges or infringements on many of these patents with a 100% success rate. She moved from her original firm to create her own IP Specialty firm. I was happy to follow her and maintain the solid working relationship that I have enjoyed and benefitted from these many years. Her professional demeanor and acute understanding of complex issues has been refreshing and never urbane nor pedantic. Her communication skills make it a pleasure to work with her and her staff. I highly recommend her for all issues regarding IP law. I have directed many other colleagues in my business circles to her to their great benefit. I expect to continue with Margaret as my principal IP attorney as long as I am in need of IP protection and representation.

I had the pleasure of working with Brandon Marinoff, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From our first meeting, Brandon provided clear, thoughtful advice and demonstrated deep knowledge of the law. Brandon was always responsive, keeping me informed and confident throughout the process. Mr. Marinoff’sprofessionalism and dedication truly stood out, and thanks to his hard work, the outcome exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a skilled, compassionate attorney who genuinely cares about your case, I highly recommend Marinoff and Associates, P.C. Attorneys at Law. He went above and beyond in every way!

If you’re looking for a corrupt law firm, look no further. Claire and her husband Daniel, are in cahoots to work to get domestic violence criminals off the hook. I am a survivor of DV from a multiple-time offender ex who left bruises on me in front of our 3 year old and newborn baby. Justice was not served to my ex- which is wrong on so many levels. Daniel left cryptic notes on my apartment door at a time where retaliation was a high risk. Luckily, I was seeking shelter elsewhere. I cannot imagine another woman who makes money off of working to silence battered women and children. Utterly horrifying.

Mr Reibstein did a fantastic job representing my case to modify a protection order between me and my children. The order was in place for more than a year. Zack wrote the motion addressing all the necessary points to support my case. His writing was logical, compassionate and most of all effective. Thanks to Zack I will be spending more time with my children. Great job!

I won against these crooks. Alicia Reinken, Nicole Griffard, and Ben Owens-Felice robbed me of 2 years of my life. The owners of 425 Birch in Estes Park hired these clowns and after 2 years of horrible litigation the Judge awarded me my earnest money back! These 3 attorneys told the Seller that they had a slam dunk case when that was not true at all. They proceeded with litigation and it cost me over $50k to get my $20k earnest money back. I’m still in litigation with the real estate agent Alissa Anderson with New Roots Real Estate for her part in all of this misrepresentation. DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM OR THESE ATTORNEYS NAMED ABOVE! False promises and years of horrible unnecessary litigation and costs.

As a previous customer, looking at my credit report from June to now, late January, there was little to no change. I always had to reach out to them for updates. Several items on my credit report that were VERY dated and should've been deleted were not addressed. Very disappointing for the money I spent.

If you are planning to get services here please stay on top of every single step of the way. I spent a year with this company and $1200 later there have been little to no changes. After attempting multiple times to ask questions where the process was at and also what was being sent where I was met with very evasive answers. Dawn was the specialist I was working with and was often met with "I just told you" on the phone. After going back and forth with Dawn for the past week with unanswered questions, I've had to end services. It is unfortunate as so many people have had completely different experiences.

Dianne was referred to me through Legal Shield, a service offered through my employment to help me with my Child Support Modification initiated by my ex-wife. We established a client-attorney relationship after a short phone consult in late December 2023. There were some technical difficulties submitting my retainer payment of $3,500 online into her preferred MyCase Client Portal. I ended up paying her first invoice of $1,423 by credit card for services she had already completed. Shortly after that transaction was paid, my inital retainer payment of $3,500 was finally withdrawn from my checking account. I figured I might as well keep it there since my case was still open.
Dianne ghosted me days before a scheduled telephone pretrial hearing with the Courts. My repeated calls, texts, and messages were unreturned until the day before the meeting! I was so stressed and panicked thinking that I am no longer represented. Fortunately, we were able to settle my case prior to our court appearance. But the opposing counsel also had difficulties getting a response from Dianne near the agreed deadline. We were able to eventually finalize and signed everything through the Courts on February 29, 2024.
Dianne has now ghosted me again after numerous requests to have her send me the final invoice for her services and still has my $3,500 retainer captive for nearly 2 months!! I'm not sure what is going on now. I see multiple 5 star reviews early on but this is not my encounter with her recently.

Dianne is very experienced and knowledgeable. I found her to be extremely compassionate during a time that I needed support, and she understood that there was a human in the equation from the start. I interviewed several attorneys and I found that Dianne was the most relatable, intuitive listener in the interview process. She answered my many questions about legal processes and documents, helping me understand the construct of what I was going through. I was more confident with her on my team, and while I believe no one wins in divorce, I think she helped me wrap my head around my own situation and take control of my outcome.

Honestly I can’t imagine enduring for what felt like an eternity and the end of the world (At the time) with any other lawyer. For anyone reading this trust me there’s honestly no need to look any further. I highly doubt that you’ll find any one as passionate and caring as Dianne, thank you once again!

Yes. A third rate divorce lawyer can do great damage to your case…
I can honestly say that Diane Kaiser is THE worst lawyer I’ve ever dealt with. I came to her, crying, asking for her help with a very difficult custody situation with my ex withholding parenting time for 2 years with my autistic child and instead of helping me, she took advantage of me, adding even more stress to my life.
I think the worst part was, when I emailed her, it had been weeks, I was expecting to hear the details of my custody case settlement, hadn’t heard anything, then found out Diane had emailed my private legal documents to an unknown email address! She admitted she did this, then refused to contact this unknown person to destroy the documents, you know, how lawyers have a DUTY to protect your privacy? Nope. She wouldn’t do it.
2. In addition to all this other mess, after I hadn’t heard anything back on my custody case and had the audacity to ask, hey what happened? I get an ALL CAPS verbally abusive email from her. Talk about lack of respect for your client. This was par for the the course from the beginning, being disrespected and then even blamed for HER mistakes. She never took accountability for any of her mistakes, nor did she refund any money for billing countless hours for reading documents, then bailing on my financial case. How is this ok? Who’s working for who here?
3. Prior to that, Diane and her decades-long employed paralegal, were not up to par on technology, Dropbox. I had to coach her paralegal to help set it up for me. (I was billed for this too) I uploaded all my documents to get her up to speed on my case. Two months later, I met with her, Diane actually pretended that she had read the documents. I was suspicious and pinned her down. Turns out she hadn’t read them. She admitted to me that she hadn’t. I asked her to call her paralegal and the paralegal said she had been trying to print out an audio file? Unbelievable. She even blamed ME for not reading the documents. This was very egregious. I begrudgingly gave her a second chance, as I was potentially about a month away from going to court. Lucky for me, my case settled, due to my own diligence. Believe me, I would not have wanted to go to court with this charlatan!
4. I also hired her to handle an outstanding financial issue, she supposedly FINALLY actually read my documents a month later, she billed me for countless hours on this financial issue, but then after the custody issue settled, she announced that she was not going to do her due diligence to follow through with resolving this issue! She bailed, withdrew.

While Ms. Kaiser is honest and fair in price, she does not listen very well. My experience with her office was frustrating, as I would have to ask more than once to have anything done right, as if we we never quite speaking the same language. Also, she would become argumentative very easily, so that I felt I had to watch what I said. Only later did I realize the I was the employer in this relationship. If I could do it over again, I would find an attorney who listened. Perhaps then the court would have heard my issues, instead of the issues Ms. Kaiser thought they should hear.
