My experience with Tyler Murray has been absolutely superb. I've dealt with ongoing tax issues since 2018. The IRS erroneously believed that I owed them a large amount of money. That amount accrued thousands of dollars in penalties over the years. I tried many times to fix this issue, both on my own, and through different tax assistance businesses. Nothing helped, and when I was eventually threatened with a lien, I googled "tax lawyer" in a panic. Tyler was the first lawyer I called, and upon meeting with him, I felt immediate relief. He knew exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. In fact, he fixed it by submitting a written statement and tax form while I was visiting him for my first consultation. I wish that I had done this years ago instead of drowning in the stress of frightening IRS letters for the last six years. I have since used Tyler to help file my taxes, and every encounter I've had with him has impressed me. He is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, responsive, professional, and helpful! I would not hesitate to hire him again for any legal matter. I am endlessly appreciative and grateful for his expertise and resolve to fix my issue, and his kind and helpful demeanor. Many, many thanks to Tyler Murray for his superlative service!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Tyler Murray for years and have confidently referred him to several friends and clients, all of whom have been thrilled with his services. Tyler has been instrumental in helping me get my business up and running, handling everything from setting up my S corporation and resolving trademark issues to tax planning and providing legal advice on personal and real estate matters. His expertise and guidance have been invaluable. Beyond his legal skills, Tyler is also an incredibly talented craft brewer with a fantastic palate. He’s introduced me to some of the best beers I’ve ever tasted. I highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable attorney who goes above and beyond for his clients.

Experiencing a car accident is challenging, more so as an international student with limited English proficiency. However, Brian and his team were incredibly accommodating. They simplified legal jargon and ensured I understood every step of the process. Their efforts resulted in a settlement that significantly aided my recovery. Karen's consistent communication was particularly reassuring. I felt valued and supported throughout. Their professionalism and empathy are commendable. Thank you, Brian and Karen, for being such reliable advocates. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I am delighted to share my review Brandi Petterson of the Colorado Law Group. Brandi's exceptional expertise and management of the trial process in the lower court as well as support of the appeal activity were truly remarkable. From the moment I engaged Brandi's services, I was impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. She displayed an impressive understanding of the legal system and provided clear guidance throughout the entire process. Brandi's strategic approach and persuasive arguments during the appeal activity were instrumental in securing a winning outcome. Her thorough preparation, strong advocacy skills, and ability to effectively communicate complex legal concepts were truly commendable. Not only did Brandi demonstrate exceptional legal acumen, but she also exhibited genuine care and support throughout the entire process. She was always accessible, promptly addressing any concerns or questions I had, which provided me with peace of mind during a challenging time. I cannot thank Brandi enough for her outstanding representation and the positive outcome she achieved for me. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication is truly exemplary. I wholeheartedly recommend Brandi Petterson and Colorado Law Group to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.

I'm am so fortunate to have had Kim by my side during my divorce! I can not say enough good things! She is brilliant & Creative! Most lawyers will take divorce cases, but are not divorce lawyer, I learned this the hard way. Learn from me and hire a specialist like Kim. She knows how to deal with and is not scared of the "shark" laywers. Has a good reputation with the Judges (very important, the judges and mediators like you lawyer). Will take the time to really understand you situation and customize a plan for your unique situation. Unlike other lawyers who just do the same thing every time. My partner had a personality disorder and a lawyer with a very bad reputation. Kim had knowledge of how to deal with partners with mental illness (from a divorce lawyer position) and what my partners lawyer was going to do, and personalized our approach! Incredible! If your partner and/or their lawyer is trying to "take you to the cleaner" Kim is definitely for you. If you are looking for a fair agreement, definitely Kim. I appreciated her honestly, she would prepare me for the worst, but had very positive energy, and always had a plan. So, look no further, you just found the best. Thank for everything Kim!

I sought legal representation during my divorce a few years ago and Mrs. Heffner was amazing. I immediately felt supported and safe with her during a very difficult time and she never failed to give me honest and helpful council. The opposing attorney was difficult, in my opinion and she handled the issues we were presented with logically and sternly. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family.

If you're looking for a lawyer who will work hard for your case, Monica McElyea is the one! I've been through a custody battle for the last three years. I've been represented by a few different lawyers in the past for previous modifications, etc, but not a single lawyer I've been represented by or consulted with in the past have the drive Ms. McElyea does. She knows her stuff, and she is so good and passionate about her work. Being represented by Ms. McElyea has been the first time I've ever felt that I truly had someone in my corner fighting to give my child and myself a real voice, as well as have our experiences heard. Ms. McElyea worked so hard on this case, and the out come was better than I could have ever asked for. I can rest ease knowing my child's safety is being upheld, my child has been given a voice in this case! Ms. McElyea is truly the best lawyer I have ever come across, she is nothing short of a blessing in the lives of my child and myself. Our lives are forever changed and our future is looking so much clearer than it ever has. I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. McElyea to anyone who is fighting for their child's safety and best interests! Ms. McElyea is truly the best out there, to have her as your representation is the best choice you could give yourself! Thank you so much Ms.McElyea, my gratitude for you is endless!

I came to Andrew Bryant last year after dealing with a chaotic separation. I had two children with my ex and she had made my life extremely difficult with communication, scheduling, doctor appointments, schooling and multiple other issues. Heather took me as a client and immediately my life got easier, she communicated with my ex during the entire process and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. She was extremely professional and got me fully prepared for trial. She walked us through each step we were going to take during the trial and eased us through the entire situation. By the end of the trial the judge removed all my child support obligations and gave me full 50/50 rights. Since the case she has checked in with us multiple times and made sure everything is still running smoothly, which it is! The last 5 months since the trial have been so much easier dealing with my ex now that everything is set in stone. We are very happy with all the work Heather and the the team at Andrew Bryant did for us! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

My name is Rachel Newton. In January 2024 I hired Heather Atkinson to represent me in my child custody case. Heather and Donna (paralegal) were wonderful representation. I knew they cared about myself and my case. Opposing council, representing the other party, was Greg Maceau. In about August 2024, Heather contacted me to let me know that Mr. Maceau would be moving over to Andrew Bryant’s law firm, and that it would be ok because there would be a “Chinese wall” implemented so Mr. Maceau would not have access to my case. My trial was set for October 2024, and two days prior to trial, Ms. Atkinson was disqualified as representing me as my lawyer because Andrew Bryant had hired Mr. Maceau to his law firm. Andrew Bryant and Mr. Maceau had told Ms. Atkinson this was ok, but upon reviewing rule, did not obtain the other party’s signature saying it was ok for Ms. Atkinson to continue to represent me after Mr. Maceau moved to the law firm. Ms. Atkinson called to apologize about the situation, and I had to find and retain a new lawyer, my trial date canceled and postponed. Obviously this was very distressing after already waiting for 10 months to go to trial, and spending a lot of money and time. Andrew Bryant could have waited two months to hire Mr. Maceau. He could have notified me that I needed to find a new lawyer prior to paying his lawyers to prep for my trial. Andrew Bryant never called me, tried to remediate the situation, or provide me assistance, even though this occurred because of his negligence and oversight. All I got was an invoice for $5k for my attorney and paralegal prepping for trial, and then turned around and had to pay another $5k retainer to hire a new attorney. Not to mention the lawyer fees that have accrued for the new lawyer to set a new trial date, have a new status conference hearing, prep for trial, etc. etc. While I would always recommend Heather and Donna as representation, I do not think it is the best idea to hire Andrew Bryant as your representing law firm. It might just cost you an extra $15k to your lawyer fees.

I was a client of Mr. Frank DeVincent's as I was going through a complicated divorce case that involved a relinquishment request from my previous husband of our daughter. After my daughter and I were abandoned by my previous husband, I knew I needed to find one of the best attorneys in the country to secure our safety. Mr. DeVincent, established as one of the 'Super Lawyers' and top 5% attorneys in the state of CO for numerous consecutive years, was recommended to me by another Attorney in California. I immediately felt safe and confident after my initial conversation with Mr. DeVincent. He set aside an hour to speak with me and he compassionately listened to my story and answered all my questions. I spent the next year and 10 months working with him. There was not one occasion while working with him where I felt he was on a time constraint and there was always open communication from him and his amazing associate, Kimberly Heffner. The case became very complicated with the Relinquishment of my ex-husband to our daughter, and Mr. DeVincent did not hesitate to consult necessary resources to strengthen and secure my position. The outcome was successful. My daughter and my future are now secured and I truly feel as though Mr. DeVincent has saved both our lives as this could not have been accomplished without the qualities and professionalism Mr. DeVincent has to offer in his practice. I was amazed in my experience of working with him by his integrity, honesty, professionalism, friendliness, compassion, and support. He was worth every dollar spent and I appreciated the fact that he worked to obtain the outcome as quickly and efficiently as possible. I highly recommend Mr. Frank DeVincent for anyone looking for a high quality Attorney who is driven by integrity. I find it difficult to put into words just how grateful I am for all his work as I feel it could never be enough.

Frank DeVincent knows the law inside and out and helped me with my divorce with more competence and assuredness than any lawyer I have ever seen in any capacity. I have been fortunate enough to become very successful in my life and I was worried that I would not find an attorney who understood the details of my business. Frank not only understood my books and my taxes, but even taught me a few things as well! I cannot imagine why any high-asset individual would use anyone else to get through a difficult divorce.

Mark Galler lost $90k of my money. He told me that my witness did not show up over phone or in person, but he was on the phone waiting for over 2 hours. I felt like Mark Galler and the other party had too much coordination in the courtroom for someone who wasn't represented, and when I asked for the communication record, I was told I'd need to pay for it too. They knew full well that they had taken all my money and had the audacity to tell me I needed to pay more to them to find evidence of collusion.

Mike, Paul, and Cameron were absolutely incredible every step of the way. Their experience and expertise were immediately evident. They are extremely responsive and give great care to their clients.

A few years ago my husband used Clawson&Clawson when a guy ran a red light and t-boned him. We were very happy with the outcome. Fast forward to last October when I got rear-ended. We reached out to Michael again. I really appreciate how thorough they were with both cases. And once again, we are very happy with the outcome. If you are ever injured and need a very reputable attorney I recommend Clawson & Clawson. They will take care of you and get you the most possible for your injuries.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from Erika and their entire team during an extremely stressful time following a bad car accident. From the very beginning, they were by my side, guiding me through every step of the legal process with patience and compassion. It wasn’t just about legal advice – they genuinely cared about my well-being and provided constant reassurance during a time when I needed it the most. Erika was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also kind, understanding, and incredibly dedicated to my case. The bond we created felt personal, and I knew I could rely on them no matter what came up. They fought hard for me, and I always felt they had my best interests at heart. Their entire team was absolutely amazing – responsive, empathetic, and supportive throughout the entire process. I am so, so grateful for their hard work and dedication.

Whenever we had a meeting he would send us an email detailing all the items we discussed and listing the issues we needed to handle . We found this to be extremely helpful.

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.

I see that most reviews are from clients of a very different sort. Laura was the man I called a husband's lawyer. My experience with her began with a phone call - blindsided - that my husband had filed for divorce, the VERY DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING. She was habitually negligent (SLOW in getting around to ANYTHING), devious, and diverting. Worked great for my ex, of course; but no lawyer should be allowed to practice who makes life a nightmare for ANYONE. What could have been done in 3mo, went over a year. Most important is that she chose to defend a man/situations that are INDEFENSIBLE. Knowing all the circumstances, she pushed for my children to be forced to start seeing their father who'd estranged himself from them for TWO YEARS; WHEN, we'd asked for reunification therapy to facilitate this process. She counseled him to "start attending" their soccer games so he'd have it to say in front of the judge - and he literally attended ONE. Things naturally proceeded to go terribly, to the point that she finally called him out and he then proceeded to quit her - JUST before our final conference by which he therefore missed, dragging things out once again. Super mystified, disappointed, and mortified that there are indeed lawyers who operate the way Laura does. She holds families' LIVES in her hands. A NIGHTMARE. This site insists you must choose at least one star. Obviously, I would choose none. She is NOT a lawyer of integrity. But, if that's what you're looking for, then she's the one for you.

We hired Laura to set up our will. We went into the process expecting an unfriendly, 100%-businesslike demeanor with little time to help with questions. Laura was the opposite. She's friendly, down-to-earth and super helpful. She took so much time with us so we understood the legal jargon in our wills so we felt completely comfortable in the final document. She's a gem for anyone setting up their will or estate planning. You definitely want to talk to Laura.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.

Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

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.
  • Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
  • 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.
  • Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.

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.

What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?

A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:

  • Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
  • Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
  • Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
  • Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
  • Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
  • Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
  • Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.

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 Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:

  • Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
  • Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.

Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer

Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption.
  2. How will you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved.
  3. What are the possible outcomes of my case?
    An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case.
  4. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals.
  5. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases.
  6. Who will be handling my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.

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.
