As a financial planner I've had the pleasure of working with Anna's team on several mutual client cases. Her counsel has always been professional, direct, and in the client's best interest. Overall, a pleasure to work with and a great partner in family law.

Lindsey has been an amazing attorney and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to work with her. I was really scared and nervous, she really made me feel at ease during my custody battle with my son. She is always very prompt at getting back to me and made sure to keep me in the loop about everything regarding my case. I am very happy to have found her and that she was willing to take my case. I really can't give a high enough recommendation for her!

13 Jan, 2014 by Travis

Lindsey has given me hope that attorneys are not in the business just for the money. She was very helpful and really made me feel like I was a friend and not just another client. If I have any more legal issues for any circumstance I will definitely use Lindsey again.

09 Jan, 2014 by Anonymous

Lindsey put together a living will for me. Although I had very little knowledge in this area, Lindsey made the process painless. She was very punctual kept me informed throughout. She even helped me find a notary after the document had been drafted.

It has been my experience that the best attorneys are those who can demonstrate some key skillsets: Patiently asking key questions to understand the issues at hand; taking the time to do "dig deep" research, the ability to think-on-your-feet while connecting the legal dots, and communicating with the client frequently and in a timely manner. Conor possesses and practices these skillsets with ease, which has led to equitable resolutions for all parties on either side of the table. His business acumen, combined with his extensive military experience, are reflected in his legal expertise as well as his approach in dealing with business conflicts of all types. His positive attitude and friendly demeanor makes him very easy to work with.

Conor is a good attorney.

28 Sep, 2024 by Dan o'brien

I highly recommend Conor O’Brien at Ragab Law Firm. His attention to detail, professionalism and commitment to achieving the best outcomes make him stand out as a top attorney. Conor confidently leads his team, ensuring that every case is approached with diligence and a client focused mindset. It is also clear that his experience as a military veteran has shaped his ability to handle complex legal matters with precision and integrity. If you are looking for an attorney with expertise and dedication, Conor is the person to trust!

I hired Spencer Kotnik to represent me in a disability lawsuit. Unfortunately, my experience with him was extremely negative. He seemed uninterested in my case and spent significant time rambling during our meetings. Despite multiple requests, he failed to improve his communication skills, which was particularly frustrating given my own disability. I no longer trusted Spencer or his firm, so I consulted with another Denver lawyer who took the time to review everything exchanged during the process. She encouraged me to ask Spencer specific questions, which he ignored until two days before my deadline. She agreed that he missed a few key points, was all over the place, and " his communication is not his strong point". Working with Spencer and his team left me stranded, frustrated, and unheard. I would not recommend their services to anyone, especially anyone with a disability.

14 Jul, 2024 by Benjamin anderson

I am very satisfied with the services I received from this firm. Everyone involved with my case was efficient, kind and knowledgeable. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a divorce attorney, I highly recommend this team. My divorce was complete in about 6 months from start to finish and I’m actually receiving a refund from my initial retainer.

Teddi Ann and the entire staff were excellent! I had a previous attorney and I was not impressed by this firm. Teddi Ann was compassionate, understanding and in every respect professional. I would recommend her without reserve, and thank Paul Barton for the excellent referral to Teddi Ann! John H.

I hired Mariah partially because of the good reviews here. I would however caution against others doing the same. My case was very simple and she intentionally dragged things into long expensive war with my ex. She constantly battled my exes lawyer on things that didn't matter and ignored the only things I said were important. I think she ended up on the losing side of every exchange she had with my exes more experienced lawyer. She took what should have been an easy case and made it difficult and expensive and did irreparable damage to my relationship with my ex whom I am trying to remain civil with. Maybe it's simply the norm for lawyers in this field to care more about their own interests than the families that hire them but I feel like entrusting her with my case was a mistake.

09 Aug, 2023 by Lindsey hall

Choosing the right legal representation is one of the most crucial decisions I've had to make. There is no room for trial and error because these situations will often be once in a lifetime. I needed someone that I could trust, attentive, and meticulous. I needed someone that would brilliantly and relentlessly pursue justice. I needed Mariah Dylla. She went to battle for me day in and day out for two years. It was never "another day in the office" with her. She was passionate about the outcome as I was. She was the help I needed when I needed it the most. She and her Dylla team including Rebecca Herrera (providing email after email, kept me informed, calls and text of details, reminders, and worked their butt off for me) treated me like family. If you need an advocate for children, someone who is transparent, and who will do their best Ms. Dylla is the one to pick. Thank you for everything. Lindsey Hall

I was Care's paralegal for years and it was one of the most exciting and valuable learning experiences of my life. Care is a former Boulder County judge and district attorney, and her knowledge of criminal and family law is unmatched. She also brings a warmth and sense of humor to the sometimes difficult job and cases that she works on that gives comfort to clients going through a very hard time. Being involved in a criminal and/or family law case is an extremely difficult experience, and knowing that you have a kind, hard-working attorney who knows the law better than anyone on your side is the best solace. As her paralegal, I was able to learn by instruction and observation (and osmosis!) the rules and regulations governing our legal system and gained great respect for those working at all levels of the agencies involved. I felt prepared for a diversity of career options after working for Care and enjoyed working for her on a personal level as well. Care is the best!

16 Mar, 2024 by Michelle reid

I cannot even put into words how impressed, grateful and appreciative I am of Care and Jake at The Law Office of Care Enichen. I found myself in an unusual situation with the law. Never having any type of altercation with the justice system or law enforcement myself, I was at a loss, confused and worried. I found Care on Google and was so impressed with her extensive experience and knowledge with Boulder County laws and court proceedings. Her knowledge stems from a prosecuting attorney to a judge for Boulder County and now as a criminal defense attorney. What I was not expecting, was to meet two people who are generally concerned for your well-being. In Care and Jake, I found not only two people so competent in navigating the justice system but also two people who only had the very best intentions on my part. They concluded my case quickly and efficiently within a very reasonable cost and I am so pleased with the result. Thank you Care and Jake! I am forever in your debt.

I came to Care with a legal issue and some confusion about my standing in the law. I consulted a couple other attorneys, over a couple years as I approached this life event. These consultations never cleared up, for me, where I stood in the law. In short order, Care assured me that where I stood was on firm legal footing and that my issue would be resolved. Working with Care was a pleasure. As she got to know me and my case, thoroughly, I was assured that she understood details of where I had been over many years. She also worked hard on getting resolution against quite difficult opposing attorneys. My issue was solved to my complete satisfaction. I recommend Care Enichen wholeheartedly and with no reservation.

“I am extremely pleased that I was able to locate attorney Arsenault to help me form my new Denver area small business earlier this year. I have had a lot of attorney interactions through my 30 years in corporate America and now small business America. John recommended a variety of corporate options and structures, we ultimately settled on a Colorado LLC. John was fast, provided all documents quickly, and not only answered all of my questions during the formation process, he had a very keen insight and suggested the route we ultimately decided. John also proposed other considerations for me including partnership related points, employment law considerations, and intellectual property rights to consider such as filing a trademark for my brand. I hope to work with John in the future as he provided a wealth of knowledge on options for my business. I hope to continue working with John into the future with my other business ventures!” I fully encourage and recommend John Arsenault to anyone looking for a great man and a great attorney!

These guys delivered! When I met this firm I did not know them. They made ambitious promises about helping me get a false allegation expunged. Over the next few months they did exactly what they promised--and other lawyers and compliance people had told me was impossible--and my record is pristine and clean again, as it should be, for the first time in years. Highly recommended.

My experience with HLBS Law was outstanding. From the outset everything was clearly explained. The execution of their work for me was superb. Every attorney who interacted with me, led by Michael Bessette was friendly, professional and achieved the intended outcomes fully. Everyone who supported the attorneys in the office was just as friendly, efficient and outstanding. There were no surprises or issues of any kind. I would highly recommend HLBS Law for anyone who needs professional legal services. I am thoroughly delighted and know you will be too.

We started our journey with another attorney with little effort. We made a bold decision to change firms. Jeremy was able to get an agreement in place which helped us not going to court. Not only did this save time and money, but it also took off all the stress from our situation. I highly recommend Shufflebarger Law Office. We know where to turn in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Christine Salamon during a challenging custody case and couldn't be more satisfied with the experience and outcome. From start to finish, Christine demonstrated a high level of expertise, professionalism, and genuine care. Christine Salamon has an outstanding grasp of family law, particularly custody issues. They provided me with a thorough understanding of my rights and the legal processes involved, laying out a clear, strategic plan tailored to my case. Throughout the case,Christine maintained excellent communication. They were prompt in responding to my questions, whether by phone or email, and kept me informed of every development. Their ability to explain complex legal concepts in an understandable way was incredibly reassuring. One of the most significant aspects of working with Christine Salamon was their empathy and support. They took the time to listen to my concerns and provided emotional support, which was invaluable during such a stressful period. Their compassionate approach made me feel more at ease and confident. Thanks to Christine's hard work and dedication, the court's decision was favorable, aligning with the best interests of my child. Their ability to present a strong, compelling case was key to this successful outcome. Overall, my experience with Christine was exceptional.

James and his knowledge in family law is unparalleled to anyone I have worked with so far. He listened to what was going on in my custody case, he stayed late the night before the 4 th of July to read the case files and followed up with a detailed plan moving forward that included things that other attorneys hadn’t mentioned they could do.. he will fight for what is right. I would recommend him to anyone who is in a similar situation..Thank you to James and his team for the time you have put in for me.

I, ultimately, found Mr. Kevin D. Murphy, Esq. to be courteous and professional. His amicable and patient work as an attorney assisted in obtaining the positive, right outcome for a man and lady who benignly stumbled because of their life stressors. He, considerately, gained understanding that they can healthily compromise, do know one another quite well, and love each other. I, thus, recommend Alexandra White, PC.

When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?

Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:

Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.

Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.

Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?

Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:

Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.

The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:

Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:

Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.

Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
