Frank Lopez is an excellent attorney. Now, there may be a lot of excellent attorneys in the Denver metro area, but Frank stands out, at least to me, because he is an excellent human as well. Frank helped advise me through some challenging events and went so far above and beyond just serving as my lawyer. He genuinely cared about how I was doing, despite the fact we had never met in person (only spoke on the phone). Frank has become a very trusted advisor and someone I deeply respect. I could not recommend him more highly.

Bachus & Shanker, they are the only law firm I have turned to for help in the previous accidents I have had. I have to say that working with different members of their team from the receptionist to an intake appointment with case managers, and finally with lawyers themselves have all been extremely helpful and courteous. I want to thank them and for anybody looking to compare them to any other firms in town. I definitely recommend Bachus and Shanker. They helped me so much! Thanks team!

Michael provided counsel to me on two separate healthcare employment issues and in both instances, favorably resolved the matter with thoughtful engagement with opposing counsel. He is thorough and strategic - leveraging his vast knowledge of Colorado employment law to navigate complexities in both employment contracts and health system bureaucracy. I would highly recommend Michael, he is a pleasure to partner with!

I hired Sarah after my abusive ex filed for Joint custody of my son. Mediation is required before going to court. I spent months providing requested information to use in courts that would have never been necessary if she would have just scheduled the mediation. She then withdrew from my case the 1st time I was late on making a payment even though she had a retainer. Before she formally withdrew she flat out told me she wouldn't do any further work without payment. She then reschedule the mediation she was legally obligated to represent me in to after she withdrew.
She did not listen or do anything I asked. She turned the one page of request my ex wanted into a 16 page document that ended up giving him things he never asked for. And she didn't ever bother to revise the document before sending it. It contained the wrong name and gender for my son.
she ever had the arrogance to tell me if I had $100,000 I could win the case but since I didn't l should just come to an agreement.

The Harris Law Firm – Best in Class. I had the privilege of being represented by Erika Brotzman and her paralegal, Joyce Moore, in a post-divorce legal case brought by my ex-spouse. I’m pleased to share that the entire case was dismissed in my favor.
From the very beginning, Erika approached the case with remarkable strategy and professionalism. She meticulously analyzed every detail, crafting a defense that left no stone unturned. Her legal acumen, combined with her calm and confident demeanor in the courtroom, was instrumental in securing a positive outcome (from mediation to the courtroom).
Erika also played devil's advocate with me to ensure I was fully prepared, which was essential in achieving the favorable result. What stood out the most was her ability to transform a stressful situation into one where I felt truly heard and supported. She not only kept me informed throughout the process but also skillfully anticipated and countered the opposing party's claims with precision and expertise.
If you're looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about her clients and delivers results, I cannot recommend Erika and her paralegal Joyce enough. Erika is a legal powerhouse and the reason I can move forward with peace of mind.
Thank you, Erika, for your incredible work and dedication!

Harris Law Firm has done a wonderful job on my divorce. I would like to thank Kim Gent and her paralegal Maureen McAllister for all the hard work they have done. Dealing with the back and forth with the petitioner and their attorney and really paying attention and handling the responses from the petitioner, her attorney. I was really glad that Kim and Maureen got them to settle out of court to where we wouldn't have to make an appearance. I am still working with Kim and Maureen because there are some other things the petitioner still has to sign and get notarized. I like that they still want to help until every little things are completely done. Even though the divorce is over and I don't want to have any contact with the petitioner, and they understand that. Kim and Maureen have always listened to me and gave their opinion and figure out our strategy on how to approach the situation. If you ever need a great attorney and Paralegal call Harris Law Firm and ask for attorney Kim Gent and Paralegal Maureen McAllister they are the best.

My experience with Barringer Law Firm was absolutely horrendous, though it took 2 years of research to understand just how badly I had been screwed due to his negligence.
My case was so severely mishandled, I ended up with a nominal fraction of what I would have if Matthew had done his fiduciary duty to me, his client. He even had my sign away “my rights to child support”. Turns out that is not even legal as it is the right of the CHILD to have support.
I am unable to afford a legal malpractice suit to hold him accountable so this is my offering. This man should under no circumstances be working in family law. He single handedly cost me and my daughter our livelihood due to him being paid up front and not wanting to put any more energy into my case which was less than bare minimum. The list goes on but I’ll leave it here; Shame on you Matthew. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS FIRM!!!

Mr. Israel hired me to perform work for him as a process server on his various cases. Towards the end of 2022, beginning of 2023 Mr. Israel stopped responding to my calls, emails, etc.
Mr. Israel does not contact me, return any communication, respond to third party debt collectors, law enforcement, or any other person I have reach out to him.
**2024 update**
Mr Israel now has a judgment against him for invoices owed to me. A court has found that he did in fact owe me money, that he did in fact not pay, and failed to follow the court ordered stipulation agreement. He continues to refuse to pay, defying court orders, judges orders, and the legal process entirely. I will continue to update this review as the process continues.

Erika and her team were amazing!! They went above and beyond in every way possible. Erika was always available to answer my questions no matter what time of day it was. She explained the process every step of the way and was a true advocate for my son and I. I knew she always had my back and she made what was possibly one of the most difficult times in my life, as smooth and seamless as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome and it's all because of Erika. She's professional, down to earth, relatable, crazy smart and the best at what she does. She is my knight in shinning armor and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for me!!

In the beginning it felt like this firm truly had my children's best interest at heart. My case played out for over 3 years. After "winning" at trial with further litigation to take place, I was struck with an uneasy feeling. I felt bullied into a settlement as the attorneys were fed up with my case. Many people had told me over the duration of my case that things weren't quite adding up and that my attorney did not seem to have our best interests at heart. I began to reflect on the case and all the inconsistencies, placating to the other side and capitulating to them as well. I then conferred with another attorney and ended up retaining her services to finish out my case. Upon the new attorney's review of my case, she stated this case was a mess, and she was flabbergasted at all the litigation that was allowed to take place. She mentioned there was a much more direct way to have gone about this case, less money and time wasted, not to mention my children's mental and emotional health. My worst feelings had been confirmed. It is a relief to finally have someone on my case who is truly for the children and not the money.

My wife Lora and I consider Ralph and the rest of his office to be LIFESAVERS! We had to fight to keep our home after the seller breached our contract & were literally trying to steal our home from us! During this INCREDIBLY stressful time, not only was Ralph always the voice of experience, counsel & reason, but also of comfort, allowing us to digest this ordeal with wisdom instead of emotion. Thank you Ralph & all at Cantafio Law! We will refer you to anyone in need of your services.

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.

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!

They used to be Cantafio and Hammond. Their employment lawyer Christine Breen took my case, when I was at my lowest, just let go after years of workplace bullying, and recently retaliated against for whistleblowing, and contemplating suing my employer. She promised to help, but then was MIA and refused to return calls. Yet she charged $2000 doing work no one asked her to do, as I already signed a severance agreement not to sue. She never wrote a demand letter. Never did anything substantial, except wrote 2 emails. I had to tell her to cease and desist charging me. I had to bring this case to the bar association. She immediately called, yelling, you agreed to pay this amount. We negotiated, and she reduced it by a few hundred. I should've gone to the bar association and got her disbarred. When you are at your most vulnerable, you cannot trust these people.

So disappointed. I am president of an HOA. They filed a lien for us a few years back and I just found out the attorney filed it with the name misspelled. I have been calling and leaving messages for a month now as he is always "unavailable". He has not returned a single one of my calls. We won't be using them in the future due to lack of attention to detail and lack of interest in following up with their customers who paid them quite well.

My experience with Allen Vellone Wolf Helfrich & Factor has been beyond great. They dug into the issues of my case and discovered things in my favor that go far beyond what other defendants in the same case appear to have missed or not seriously considered. My opinions of Jim Helfrich and Kate Sender go beyond my ability to express. The best I can say is that I trust them to do their absolute best, which I believe they have done. No bullshit.
They haven’t always told me what I want to hear, but they have always considered my opinion and that has been reflected in the things they have produced on my behalf. My case is not over, but they believe in me and have taken my side with the best they have to offer. Their rates are fair, and I have never had the feeling they were fabricating hours as so many law firms do, especially the law firm that is attacking me. I suspect I will have more to add to this review in the future.

Maxted Law (David Maxted) made a traumatic and difficult legal experience regarding the wrongful death of a loved one, tolerable, supportive, and even healing. David's (and his team's) compassion, kindness, brilliance, and patience were of critical support to me in a very challenging time. He was always respectful and never pressured me as he presented legal options, weighed pros and cons and potential outcomes, and honored my needs and desires, as well as, my grief process. He took the time to know me and my situation, yet remained objective. His intelligence and competence were beyond what I could have hoped for and he was willing to "take on" agencies for justice that others were not-- WITH SUCCESS. I cannot recommend Maxted Law enough!

I called for a consultation, and Mr Garcia was very rude on the phone, I actually asked if I was bothering him by inquiring, as he was very short and not responding, lots of awkward silence in the whole 5 min phone call, and then I just said I would contact another firm and he replied 'do that' and hung up. Wouldn't recommended. Disappointing as he was recommended to me by a friend.

Mr Garcia handled my first family case for me in which I was facing losing my kids due to false allegations. Mr. Garcia protected my rights as a parent and the case went in my favor. Michael was very direct and straightforward regarding my situation. I did not have to repeatedly try and get updates from Mr. Garcia. I gave him anything I could to help him in my case, continued on in my day to day tasks while having trust and remaining patient. My case was over with the results I wanted before the judge even heard my case. I then looked to Mr. Garcia to represent me in another family law case. When I arrived I was more than 5 hours late for our scheduled appointment however Mr. Garcia still managed to fit us in his schedule. My experience when using other attorneys was that they make you feel as you need them only because they want your money. Mr. Garcia did exactly opposite. He literally reenacted the court process as if we were in the court room with the judge himself. He explained to me the correct terminology, how to file paperwork, how to present my case as well as told me what to expect from her attorney and how to protect myself against the things he would do or say. After leaving his office I really felt as I could handle the case alone however I felt it's best to leave that to someone experienced. Mr. Garcia's rates are a little higher than others, however the cost for reassurance and results is little compared to the relationship between me and my children. I would highly recommend Mr. Garcia to others as well as use him for any other family court issues.

I was involved in a wrongful termination case against my employer, and after 8 months of going back and forth ( drafting letters, going to courts etc. ) she declined to continue because she was appointed to be a judge. This is after I had spent about a thousand dollars for her services. She then tried to pass me off to one of her friends ( a very competent attorney she said ). That was in 2019. It is now 2021, and she is still practicing her craft in Longmont with no judging assignment in her profile.

What a Civil Rights Lawyer Can Do for You
A civil rights lawyer focuses on protecting individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by government authorities, employers, or private organizations. These lawyers specialize in cases involving discrimination, police misconduct, freedom of speech, and other fundamental rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws, such as the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Fair Housing Act.
Whether you've been discriminated against due to race, gender, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics, or you believe your civil rights have been violated by a government entity, a civil rights lawyer can help you seek justice, hold wrongdoers accountable, and secure compensation for any harm you've suffered.
When Should I Hire a Civil Rights Lawyer?
You should hire a civil rights lawyer when your constitutional rights or other protected rights have been violated, and you need legal assistance to seek justice. Some key situations in which you may need a civil rights lawyer include:
- Employment discrimination: If you have faced discrimination at work based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability, a civil rights lawyer can help you file claims under laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Police misconduct or brutality: If you were the victim of police brutality, unlawful arrest, racial profiling, or other forms of misconduct, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit for violations of your Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
- Freedom of speech or assembly violations: If your First Amendment rights to free speech or peaceful assembly have been restricted by the government, a civil rights lawyer can represent you in challenging the violation.
- Housing discrimination: If you’ve been denied housing or faced unfair treatment due to your race, ethnicity, gender, or disability, a lawyer can help you file a complaint under the Fair Housing Act.
- Voter rights violations: If you believe your right to vote has been unfairly suppressed or you’ve faced discrimination in the voting process, a civil rights lawyer can help you fight for your rights.
- Disability rights violations: If you’ve faced discrimination in accessing public spaces, employment, or services due to a disability, a lawyer can help enforce your rights under the ADA.
- LGBTQ+ rights violations: If you've experienced discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing, or public services, a civil rights lawyer can help you pursue legal remedies.
Hiring a lawyer early on can help you understand your legal options and build a strong case to protect your rights.
What Does a Civil Rights Lawyer Do?
A civil rights lawyer provides legal representation and advocacy to individuals whose rights have been violated. Their work can include:
- Filing lawsuits: A civil rights lawyer can represent you in court by filing lawsuits against individuals, businesses, or government entities that violated your rights.
- Advocating for policy changes: Civil rights lawyers often engage in advocacy work, pushing for reforms to laws and policies that infringe upon people's rights.
- Representing clients in discrimination claims: These lawyers help clients file claims with federal or state agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
- Negotiating settlements: In many cases, civil rights lawyers work to negotiate settlements for their clients before a case goes to trial, securing compensation for damages such as lost wages, emotional distress, or legal fees.
- Defending freedom of expression: Lawyers may represent clients whose rights to free speech, assembly, or protest were violated by government restrictions or other actions.
- Handling appeals: If your civil rights case has been decided but you wish to appeal the ruling, a civil rights lawyer can help you through the appeals process.
How Are Civil Rights Lawyers Paid?
Civil rights lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Contingency fee: Many civil rights lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win your case. Their fee is typically a percentage (usually 25% to 40%) of the settlement or damages awarded.
- Hourly rate: For cases that require extensive legal research or litigation, some lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Pro bono or sliding scale: Some civil rights lawyers or organizations may work on a pro bono (free) basis or use a sliding fee scale for clients who cannot afford typical legal fees.
- Flat fee: In specific cases, a lawyer may charge a flat fee for services like drafting legal documents or filing a complaint.
It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does a Civil Rights Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a civil rights lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal issue. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee cases: For cases taken on a contingency basis, the lawyer’s fee will typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or judgment awarded.
- Hourly rates: Many civil rights lawyers charge hourly rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For straightforward legal tasks, such as filing a complaint with a government agency or drafting legal documents, flat fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Pro bono work: Some civil rights lawyers or nonprofit organizations provide free legal representation in certain cases involving important constitutional or civil rights issues.
Be sure to ask for a detailed estimate of costs during your consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.
Top Questions to Ask a Civil Rights Lawyer
Before hiring a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with civil rights cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s employment discrimination, police misconduct, or First Amendment violations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case. -
What is the likelihood of success for my case?
Ask the lawyer to provide an honest assessment of your case, including the strengths, weaknesses, and potential outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While exact timelines can vary, ask for an estimate of how long your case may take, from filing to resolution. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may work on parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will handle your legal matter directly.
How to Check the Credibility of a Civil Rights Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable civil rights lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific civil rights experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in civil rights law and have a history of handling cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience with civil rights cases.
- Check for advocacy or nonprofit work: Lawyers involved with civil rights organizations, such as the ACLU or NAACP Legal Defense Fund, may have a strong reputation in the civil rights legal community.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- A detailed account of the violation: Provide a written summary of the events, including dates, times, and any people involved in the violation of your rights.
- Documentation and evidence: Bring any supporting documentation, such as emails, letters, photos, or video footage that may help prove the violation of your rights.
- Records of complaints or reports: If you’ve filed complaints with a government agency or reported the violation, bring copies of those documents.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes of your case.
- Information on damages or harm: Be prepared to discuss the harm you’ve suffered due to the violation, such as emotional distress, financial loss, or physical injury.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
