I slid on black ice and had an accident, in which my vehicle was the only thing damaged. The cop hit me (rather unreasonably) with careless driving for this, as there was nothing I could do to avoid the accident. Steven Pisani did an awesome job and was able to get the bogus reckless driving charge reduced to unsafe backing, which is a much lower charge and kept me from paying more in court fees, insurance, and in drivers license points. Thank you for your help!

Ross successfully fought a careless driving ticket for my father. My father has a CDL so this ticket could have ended his livelihood. I interviewed many other attorneys in the area. None of them wanted to fight this case. Ross is the only one who showed tremendous knowledge of the court and ability to win. I'm glad that we trusted him. Thank you!

I wasn't expecting a penny in the form of settlement after my accident. I only wanted my medical treatments to be covered. In the end they got me a cash settlement on top of all my medical treatments. What a blessing! The team was knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate, and went the extra mile for me. They really made me feel cared for. Thank you Brylak team! You are the BEST!

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!!

I had the privilege of working with BAM Law, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Attorneys Kyle McFarlane and Kayla Bowman Quinn were absolutely incredible throughout my divorce process. From the very beginning, they showed unwavering professionalism, compassion, and expertise in handling my case, which involved a highly confrontational ex-spouse and a difficult opposing counsel. Despite the challenging circumstances, including the unethical and untruthful tactics used against me, Kyle and Kayla remained calm, focused, and strategic. They listened carefully to my goals and worked tirelessly to ensure that I achieved the best possible outcome, both in terms of parenting arrangements and asset division. When the case went to trial, they were thoroughly prepared, leaving no stone unturned. Their attention to detail in court was impressive, and I felt confident and supported throughout the entire trial process. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was able to secure the parenting results and fair asset division I was seeking. If you're looking for a family law firm that truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend BAM Law. Kyle and Kayla's expertise and commitment to their clients make them stand out as top-tier attorneys. They made a difficult, emotionally charged process as smooth as possible, and I am beyond grateful for their support.

I am so grateful to my friend and to Vince and his law office. Having never navigated through any sort of legal proceedings in my life Vince was kind, patient, thorough, and nonjudgmental. He explained every different case scenario in terms I could understand and fought for my family member like he was his own. I was truly astounded. Never once did we have difficulty getting ahold of him no matter what time( I apologize for that Vince).

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.

Carla was a horrible attorney for me! It was in 2011 I came to her with threats on my life from my husband and seeking a divorce. Her assistant Catherine MacCarthy did ALL the work and answer all my questions, Carla was sick but never was apologetic in her absence as my attorney. I didn’t receive what I should have because she wasn’t willing to stand up to my husbands attorney. I decided to see if she was still an attorney even, when I read all these nice reviews and had to get my truth out there.

If it were not for Carla's help, I'm not sure I would have the life that I share with my daughter today. Navigating the waters of a custody case are overwhelming and scary. Carla was very effective dealing with my emotions given what was at stake and kept me focused on what was important. Carla helped debunk the allegations that were on the table and effectively negotiated a settlement out of court. She is a fantastic family attorney and a wonderful person to boot. I'm forever grateful for her help.

Carla handled a fairly complicated divorce for me. She was very well prepared in court, often several steps ahead of opposing counsel. She had answers to their questions before they knew what they were going to ask. She took care to ensure what was best for my son and leveraged a combination of negation and the courts to deescalate where possible. This ultimately brought us to settlement in what, by all measures, could have been a contentious and messy process. Above all, I felt like she struck just the right balance between being legally and strategically acute, while still compassionate to the emotional difficulties of divorce. She often asked me of how my son was doing, with honest concern, and clearly wanted to help me achieve a peaceful and fair outcome. I certainly have no plans to get divorced again, but I would highly recommend her to anybody needing a family attorney.

Katherine Reckman represented me in my divorce and she was very fair and steadfast through my proceedings. My ex husband chose very inept representative which derailed his case. In the end, he trusted Katherine to write up our agreement which he eventually signed. Divorce is ugly and stressful and in Colorado, you need someone who can negotiate with the other side to keep the cost down. Katherine did that and was able to do it with empathy. Highly recommended.

I found Terri when I was traumatized, alone and incredibly scared. She and her paralegal, Traci, held my hand through the process and helped me find a therapist, which ended up being a real life line for me. I'm a big believer now in the collaborative approach, and I ended up spending far less in litigation costs and got through the process quicker than anyone I know in similar circumstances. I can't tell you what a comfort it is to turn the intricacies of your life over to such a compassionate and competent, knowledgeable lawyer. It helped me keep my sanity and wits during the darkest time of my life. I'm on the other side now, and Terri and her firm played a big part in that.

I highly recommend this firm, and Terri Harrington, specifically. This was the best decision I made during a very overwhelming divorce process. I hired Terri the week before my scheduled mediation, as the previous lawyer dropped the ball significantly and I had to fire him. Terri and her team were incredibly communicative (for example, I have never had to wait longer than 24 hours for a reply), empathetic, knowledgeable, and quick. Terri caught up on my case in just a few days, and she made me and my case a priority by responding to emails swiftly, walking me through the process and what to expect, and being clear on what was needed from me, and what their role was. I just recently referred Terri and team to another person, and would do it again and again.

Despite the challenging circumstances, including the unethical and untruthful tactics used against me, Kyle and Kayla remained calm, focused, and strategic. They listened carefully to my goals and worked tirelessly to ensure that I achieved the best possible outcome, both in terms of parenting arrangements and asset division. When the case went to trial, they were thoroughly prepared, leaving no stone unturned. Their attention to detail in court was impressive, and I felt confident and supported throughout the entire trial process. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was able to secure the parenting results and fair asset division I was seeking. If you're looking for a family law firm that truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend BAM Law. Kyle and Kayla's expertise and commitment to their clients make them stand out as top-tier attorneys. They made a difficult, emotionally charged process as smooth as possible, and I am beyond grateful for their support.

The Gasper Law Group, and specifically Randy Koonce, was incredibly helpful in assisting my family and me with our estate plans. Due to unforeseen medical circumstances, we needed a quick turnaround, and Randy and his team exceeded our expectations. We visited on Monday, and by Wednesday, we were reviewing and signing our estate plans, which included a Last Will and Testament, General Durable Power of Attorney, and Medical Power of Attorney. Randy was thorough and took the time to answer all our questions. I highly recommend this firm and their team for anyone in need of estate planning services.

If I could leave more stars I gladly would!!! Hinds & Hinds is an INCREDIBLE law firm to work with. Their rates are fair & they genuinely care about the clients they represent. Brianne Henninger in particular is a SUPERB LAWYER & at the top of her field in my opinion. She stays calm under pressure, has a very well received/professional court presence & has a huge heart for genuinely using the legal system to help people. At my court date she was up to speed with critical new legislation that the other attorneys were unaware of & it made all of the difference in my case. Her assistant Gretchen is also a joy to work with. She is very kind, compassionate & swift In getting things accomplished. They truly are the dream team & diamonds in the rough of a treacherous field of legal teams & law firms. You won’t regret having them on your side. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH!!!! They’ve made all the difference in keeping myself & my children safe & together.

I hired Miles to represent me in a traffic case in which I was unable to attend the court date. In the end, he got me the best possible outcome regarding the tickets, however, the process leading up to the court date was a little shaky. It was often difficult to reach him and I felt as though I had to keep an eye on the process. He would not ask for paperwork from me, instead, I periodically had to check in with him to ensure he had everything he needed from me. Finally, on the court day, he called looking for more files. I would have expected them to check and make sure they had everything before the court date. But like I said, in the end, everything worked out so I can't complain.

I contacted Mr. Cabral immediately after getting my ticket. The ticket said it was a misdemeanor traffic violation and I didn't want a chance to go to jail or the stress of having to deal with this on my own. Mr. Cabral worked on my case right from the beginning and kept in contact with me with each step. The ticket was written incorrectly so no one was going to take responsibility at the clerks office to determine which way to interpret the ticket. Mr. Cabral must have visited my case at least 5 times or more before meeting me. He was very professional and approachable. The $500 I paid was well worth the trauma and stress I didn't have to go through.

When our family found itself in an unexpected legal situation, we were scared and overwhelmed. We didn't know the system or the process and were in desperate need of someone to help us figure out how to navigate the situation. Jim Kennedy was the perfect person for that job. He was able to explain the process clearly to everyone involved and supported us with calm, practical advice. He was incredibly responsive and understood our concerns. He stood by us the entire time and was able to negotiate the best possible outcome for our situation. I was so grateful to have him representing us and supporting us during an incredibly stressful time. I unequivocally recommend Jim to anyone who is looking for honest and skilled representation.

I am so thankful to have found Greg Quimby and his team to represent me and in such short notice take on my case. In only 2 weeks before my final court they were on top of my case and made miracles happen. Everyone was so friendly, understanding, and compassionate. I am extremely appreciative of all of them and what they did for me especially because they won my case. I was extremely impressed with Greg and his team's knowledge as well as his presence in the court room was amazing and very respectable. Walking into the courtroom i felt at peace knowing he was on my side representing me and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. 100% recommend!

I have been a repeat client of this office due to the fact that they are amazing! I have never experienced bad customer service from anyone. Between my husband and I, we have retained Erica for 3 separate cases/incidents. They work hard to make sure you're heard, and Erica and Susan don't let anyone push them around, and nothing slips by them. I REALLY hope to never have to spend money on attorneys again. However, if I do, I will most definitely contact the Law Office of Greg Quimby! I feel like they're family!

I wish I could give this place 0 stars! My husband and I separated a decade ago, we have 3 kids together, my husband hired this law office to represent him to go after split custody, however my husband and I worked things out a week after hiring them and we NEVER went to court, this law firm submitted 1 document for him to the court but we NEVER made it in front of a judge for them to ever represent him. This place then sued my husband for $5k because he signed a document saying he would hire them to represent him, they didn’t care that they never represented him and that we worked things out, all they cared about was the money and don’t truly care about the “best interest of the families they represent” I think that’s beyond messed up they would sue him for what?!?! Till this day my poor husband is still paying on this debt because it has incurred thousands in interest the longer it sits not being fully paid off. We have paid $3000 and still owe over $11,000 for absolutely nothing! By the time they finally get paid off we will have probably paid close to $20k! I would never recommend this law firm to anyone unless you want them to help you destroy your life and put a financial burden on your family.

Kali Roundy and the Colorado Legal group are amazing. I went through a divorce that lasted nearly 2 years, and Kali was there every step of the way. I was never left with a question unanswered. She was compassionate and understanding. When going through a divorce with children, it can be very difficult for everyone involved. There are no true "winners," only fair compromises, and Kali fought for that. I left with a sense of peace after everything was said and done and I am beyond grateful for the amount of time and hard work she put into my case.

Trial was kind of long but she made sure my dad understood everything (my dad speaks Spanish) we had interpreters for him & she would take the time speak to my whole family & made sure all our questions were answered. We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent my dad. Spending all that time with her during the trial made us feel like she was part of the family too!

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You

A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.

If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.

When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:

  • A Victim of Domestic Violence:
    • Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
    • Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
    • Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
    • Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
    • Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
  • Accused of Domestic Violence:
    • Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
    • Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
    • Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
    • Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.

Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.

What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?

A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:

  • For Victims:
    • Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
    • Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
    • Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
    • Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
  • For the Accused:
    • Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
    • Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
    • Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
    • Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.

How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?

Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
  • Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
  • Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.

It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.

How Much Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:

  • Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
  • Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.
  • Family law issues: Legal fees for divorce, child custody, and other family law issues related to domestic violence can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • Hourly rates: Domestic violence lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for their services, with more experienced lawyers charging higher rates.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand the total cost of legal services.

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer

Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
    Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate.
  3. What is the likely outcome of my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays.
  5. Will I need to appear in court?
    Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials.
  6. What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
    Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.

How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
  • Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • For Victims:
    • Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
    • Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
    • Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
    • Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
  • For the Accused:
    • Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
    • Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
    • Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
