Carla knows, and shares, everything we needed to know about the documents we need to leave for our survivors. It is a wonderful feeling to know that we have provided a thorough map for our heirs. Carla also helped us discern the Catholic end of life decisions we wish. She is very patient and understanding.

I hired Carla for Estate Planning purposes. She helped me organize my thinking around this critical area and completed all pertinent documents. During the interview she took great care to fully understand my needs and wishes, explained any choices I needed to make, and summarized my final decisions for me clearly and accurately. When the paperwork was presented to me I found zero mistakes. Everything was just as we had outlined. Carla was personable and engaged throughout the process and willing to spend all the time with me that I required. The whole experience was easy and quite pleasurable actually.

Carla and her staff were amazing from start to finish in handling Wills for my husband and I. She solved a lot of problems and made it all miraculously come together. Carla and her staff are professional, responsive, efficient, patient, and wonderful. Since we are Catholic, Carla prepared complete Catholic Wills for us. We even learned some new things along the way, which boosted our confidence in her even more. Carla is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, personable, and concerned about her clients. We've never met another attorney like her before, and we appreciate her so much. We will always be grateful to her, and would highly recommend her.

We recently worked with the Mckenzie Law Firm for estate planning and to develop our family trust. Daniel and his team were great.
Daniel and Tienne were excellent at identifying our wishes, understanding our circumstances, and crafting a trust and related documents that captured what we needed. They accomplished all of this under the difficult circumstances related to Covid-19, going to extraordinary lengths to keep the process moving forward, while at the same time protecting our health.
Daniel, Tienne and Rachel are very personable and a pleasure to work with. We look for and love good process, and they have created a straightforward and efficient process that made developing our trust simple for us. We also found their fees to be extremely reasonable. We can’t recommend them enough.

Dan and his team did an outstanding job completing our estate planning documents. Rachel was proactive on setting appointments, following up and making sure our experience was a good one. Dan thoroughly explained our options, made excellent recommendations and put our wishes into legal format. I am convinced he and his team created a plan that will make managing our estate as easy as possible. In addition to being highly professional, Dan and his office are very friendly, approachable and reasonably priced.

I was hit by a landscaping truck. The driver ran off and they never found him. Luckily, the company had insurance and Sean McQuaid was able to handle my case. I had to get some injections, but I am on the road to recovery.

Mr Ruterbories is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of being represented by. Not many attorneys are honest, ethical, or care about your or your case, they are only interested in the amount of money they can make off your case. Mr Rueterbories is what attorneys should aspire to be. If he takes your case, you can be assured that he cares. He will do his best for you, and his is above all, honest and trust worthy. He has gone above and beyond on my case, more so than any other attorney I have ever hired, or disputed. You wont be disappointed with Mr Ruterbories. When it comes to legal matters, the right attorney can make the world of difference between a positive outcome or total disaster. I only wish I had met him 10 years ago.

After hiring Mr. Ruterbories he was very precise and to the point about my case in a manner that was clearly understood. He maintained communications with me throughout the divorce and filed all the necessary documents within the time requirements. I have recommended him to family and friends because of his experience and hard work and will continue to do so. I will retain Mr. Ruterbories for any future services that may arise.

I recently hired Kaitlin Spittel to represent me. She is an excellent attorney. Her intelligence and knowledge of the nuances of employment law is outstanding and was a lifesaver in my case. She was phenomenal in assisting me. I hope I never have to go down the road of hiring an attorney again, however if I do she will be the first one I call. Kaitlin, thank you for your hard work. You are an awesome attorney!

I have never had to retain a lawyer before, so I wasn't sure what the experience would be like.
When I had my first meeting with Kaitlin she was very patient with me and listened to all my concerns. She was very upfront and told me what I could expect from her. She not only did what she said she would do, but did it in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

Kaitlin was able to help me tremendously with my pending case. She consider how everything affected me, and made me felt. She touched all the bases. This was my first expirience with a lawyer, and she made it very easy. I would certainly go back to her again.
Also, the reception Audrea was incredibly helpful. I had a small time frame to work with, and she made it possible. She also cared a great deal about making sure my case was heard, which was also very helpful.
In the future if I couldn’t use Kaitlins services, I know Audrea would point me in the right direction of someone who would be able to help me.

If you don't go with this law group then you are mission out! Not only did they handle my case with grace, but they even went the extra mile when I had an emergency! I have a medically fragile and disabled child that is very hard to take out of the home. The day before my court appearance, all of my child care canceled for the day of court. I needed to file a motion in order to appear virtually instead but being the day before, and with my lack of court understandings, I was lost. I called this office since they were the ones who filed my paperwork with the court to ask for assistance. Of course the lawyer I used was out of office so I left a message. Within 10 minutes I received a call back from another attorney from this office and after I explained my situation, they said that they would have no problem filling out the motion for me and emailing to me! Not only that but they did this from their cell phone! All I asked for was advice, but this office was so understanding and the fact that they went the extra mile to help me was such a relief and an act of kindness and humanity that you don't normally see from people nowadays. From now on I will always use this firm for all of my needs!

I found the whole process educational & helpful. The first meeting was virtual when the whole process was explained & questions answered. The next virtual meeting was to set up my will and powers of attorney for healthcare & financial. I was able to clearly document my wishes for everything so that my daughter will be able to manage everything as the need arises. The final meeting was for signatures on all documents. I appreciated the binder and I understand there will be a card coming that will allow providers access as needed. I feel confident and without worry. Thank you for making things happen so smoothly.

Worked with Robert on 2 separate occasions. He is prompt, friendly and a great person to work with for legal matters. Each time his communication was amazing. He has helped my family buy a house (review closing/title documents) and establish wills/documents to protect my family in case the worst should happen. We are very happy to have him on our side. Cannot recommend Robert and his office enough for legal matters. Experience matters and he has +40 years of practicing law in CO. Thank you Robert for all you have done for my family!

I am so frustrated at this point. The only assets we have to liquidate are 3 firearms, and after 2 years we are still fighting to get our case closed. They have been doing nothing but just SITTING on our case. Their Trustee has been retired, but they still have him handling our case. I had called , and emailed them throughout the last year...... but It wasn't until I got an attorney of my own to file for divorce that they finally put anything into action! It most likely won't be another few months until they sell them and close our case, and I can finally begin rebuilding my life again! By then, it would be almost 3 years since we filed. And it's been a year since it was discharged! Such a waste of my time.

I am an experienced lawyer, but no longer handle residential landlord/tenant litigation. When I needed help for a rental property I own, I knew I was not up to date on recent changes to Colorado landlord/tenant laws. Sal personally returned my call promptly and quickly drafted the necessary documents for me. It was a pleasure working with him.

My experience with CFI Kimberly Utesch in Colorado was highly disappointing. From start to finish, it was evident that Ms. Utesch lacked the competence and dedication necessary for her role. Throughout the investigation process, she seemed to simply phone it in, displaying a lack of thoroughness and professionalism. She often had an auto-reply email set up which made getting a hold of her very difficult. She refused to review any videos or relevant evidence because would not allow me to send these items through Dropbox, as the files were too large for email.
She conducted my "home visit" through Zoom. To make this even worse, when she called on Zoom to do the home visit she started to berate me and tell me that it was inappropriate that I had my child present for our interview. She seemingly forgot that this appointment was for the home visit that she had specifically asked me to have my child present. She then proceeded to turn her camera off and "watch us interact" for 30 minutes.
One of the most concerning aspects of Ms. Utesch's performance was her failure to interview ANY of the family members who had submitted questionnaires...... on either side of the family. This negligence not only demonstrates a lack of diligence but also raises serious doubts about the validity and fairness of her findings. How can a comprehensive investigation be conducted without gathering input from all relevant parties?
Furthermore, Ms. Utesch's overall competency was severely lacking. It was clear that she did not possess the necessary skills or knowledge to handle the complexities of the case. Her lack of attention to detail and apparent disinterest in the matter at hand only exacerbated the situation. To make things worse she then asked for more money at the end of her investigation. The ONLY thing my son's mother and I have ever agreed on is that Ms Utesch has no business being a CFI.
Less than a year after her report was completed, our judge allowed us to have another investigation completed. This report had DRASTICALLY different findings. Her entire report was a waste of time and money.
Overall, I would not recommend Ms. Utesch as a CFI based on my experience. Her subpar performance and lack of thoroughness do a disservice to the families relying on her expertise. I urge anyone seeking a competent and dedicated CFI to look elsewhere.

The worst experience ever. My wife and I went to get a deed transfer. As a customer we were very clear regarding how the deed needed it to be transfer and draft it. Even in the agreement letter the lawyer stated that he understood what was required of him. It was explained that the deed need to be transfer to my name and to remove my uncle's name of the title. The new deed need to show that my dad and myself will be the future owner of the property. After many phone calls the deed was finally sent to us, which it took over a month. The main reason was that the lawyer sent the document to the title company instead of myself. Trusting the professionalism of the lawyer because the language of a deed can be difficult to understand and as in the agreement was mentioned, the lawyer took out my dad name (which he was not SUPPOSED to do) and left me as the only owner. My wife and I found out that the deed was done wrong because we took to the county to record it and it show that myself is the only owner now. We contact the lawyer assistance to explain the situation which she understood the situation. The assistance informed my wife that she will contact the lawyer. When she called back the lawyer pretty much wash his hands.. putting the excused that it has been a while and if we need a new deed, we needed to repay the $350 . Even though that in the agreement that I singed was stated that the deed needed to change to my father and myself. I recommend you to contact other lawyer that actually pays attention to what you are needing. I will never come back again

Bruce represented me in a very challenging divorce and custody battle that my ex dragged out for several years. He proved himself to be a very capable and ethical lawyer who always gave me great advice on our way to a positive outcome to my case. Bruce takes the time to explain the legal basis of each step and decision along the way, and encouraged me to be fully involved in the process - reading the relevant law citations and reviewing all correspondence. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a similar situation - you will not find a better person to have in your corner.

Eric Nesbitt is a man of integrity, vast experience (more than 20 years), who has exceptional knowledge of the law. Impeccable ethics make him an outstanding attorney who is capable, meticulous, and diligent. He is a straight-talker who will not tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to know. I highly recommend Eric, and feel fortunate to have him on our team. Thanks Eric!

Upon the recommendation of our practice broker, in 2015 we retained attorney Chuck Mastin (now located in Centennial , Colorado) to handle the sale of our dental practice, which included an assignment of our existing lease to the buyer. Mr. Mastin informed us that his associate, Jeff Bergstrom, would be negotiating this lease assignment with the buyer and landlord.
While we were satisfied with the sales negotiation and transaction, we cannot say the same of our lease assignment. We feel we were not correctly informed by Mr. Bergstrom about the extent of our continuing financial liability ( our practice broker had the same understanding that we did with respect to the term of our liability), and that our interests were not adequately protected. The real estate professionals and attorneys we subsequently consulted in 2017, all agreed with us.
Instead of our financial liability terminating at the conclusion of our five year lease (which was concern enough for us at the time of the sale, and this concern was made very clear to Mr. Bergstrom), we were informed by the landlord when our own lease ended in 2017, that we remained responsible in the case of financial default by the buyer. This liability would continue indefinitely until a brand new lease was signed (versus the far more likely option of simply extending the existing lease), which could be many years into the future!
We immediately contacted Jeff Bergstrom, who was disinterested in resolving this precarious financial situation we were left in by his having assured us prior to the practice sale that these liability terms of the lease assignment were "absolutely the norm.” We therefore had to retain another attorney and spend eight months and over $2200 in legal fees to negotiate with the landlord the appropriate release of financial liability that was not included in the original lease assignment. We asked Mastin Bergstrom, LLC, to reimburse us for these additional legal costs, which would not have arisen had our interests been adequately protected at the time of the practice sale, but Mr. Bergstrom declined, after ignoring our first request for reimbursement.
Needless to say, we are very dissatisfied with the quality of Jeff Bergstrom's professional work.

Mr. Bergstrom is open and honest. He provided me excellent direction with some preliminary questions I had. At no time did I feel pressured. I recommend him and his office to anyone in need of a tax, business or real estate lawyer in Colorado.

Michael did not give us any real help on The QDRO process, basically took our money, never returned phone calls when we had questions about the process and directions. We had to use our divorce attorney to help us with the whole process. It was the worst decision to hire him for legal services!!!! I should have known better when he wanted all of the money up front! Took over 1 month to get it all done then again no help in the end.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
