I was advocating for a family struggling to secure proper educational support for their daughter when we found Education Law Offices. From the start, attorney Alexandra Ferguson made the parents feel genuinely heard and respected. After facing repeated setbacks and disrespect from the school, Ms. Ferguson stepped in and turned the situation around. Her expertise and guidance led to the child being transferred to a new school where she is now thriving. I highly recommend Alexandra Ferguson for her dedication and effective advocacy in securing educational rights for children.

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.

I’ve worked with Francis Kailey twice for two different type of services, one for writing up a Will and Living Will and the second occasion for verifying my ID for a sale of a property that was located abroad. Francis Kailey is professional, kind and knowledgeable person. I always felt safe with Francis. I would highly recommend his services. I will work with him, if I need to do so in the near future. His services were delivered with care and prompt delivery. Thank you!

Outstanding Trial Lawyer
After I was wrongly charged with a very serious crime I hired David Jones. David did explain to me the risks and benefits of going to trial. I chose to go to trial and David was behind me the entire time making sure I received a fair trial. David meticulously prepared for trial. David did phenomenal at trial. David didn't miss an objection and he was quick. By the end of the trial, the truth was revealed, and David and I beat that vicious, fabricating, exaggerating DA and a jury found me NOT guilty of all charges. During that stressful time in my life, David was a pleasure to work with. David was worth every penny.

I worked with Attorney Dave Jones, of Decker and Jones Law. I cannot say enough about his outstanding representation and my experience with him and working with his firm. He made me feel confident about my case as we worked our way through it all. Along with several changes throughout our case, he was able to pivot and continue to keep my goals first and foremost and not allow for distractions. Dave is very focused and gets the job done. Thank you, Dave.

Jonathan Willett represented our son in a juvenile misdemeanor sexual contact case. His expertise, years of experience, and reputation helped tremendously. He is well known and well respected throughout the legal system. Jonathan presented us with several options to resolve the case, and then worked with us and the DA to come to a fair agreement. He and his legal assistant, Dan, make a great team and we would recommend them to any family going through a similar situation.

On May 11th I wrote a complaint letter to Peter Fabish at Conscious Family Law and Mediation LLC regarding Mediation services with him on February 26, 2024. The least that I expected was a refund check for $750. There has been no response. Without going into the details, I will say that Peter's actions led to one member of a group of three seeking Mediation for an APR, Allocation for Parental Responsibilities, to make a radical move on March 1st, 2024 that led to the false arrest of another person in the group of three, serious criminal charges, and the removal of a young child from two people he loves and a home he feels safe in. Subsequently, my entire humble savings is gone to legal fees and my next step is to take out a loan. I am 76 and live on Social Security. The consequences because of Peter's incompetence has thrown us into a crisis that may never be fully resolved. We gave a clear picture of what we expected from Mediation in our intake session and we requested the non-attorney for Mediation to save money. Peter showing up as an attorney was their first mistake. The trauma from this incident has been highly stressful and harmful though abruptly losing the child in our lives is the deepest grief that I have ever experienced. It was a life-changing mistake to use this company and Peter Fabish.

I am forever grateful to Law One for their incredible assistance with my complex case. Initially, I worked with a well-known Denver firm that, after 1.5 years, told me there was no chance of success. That’s when a colleague recommended Law One to me. Not only did they win my case, but they also did it in record time! The team was exceptionally professional, confident, and their communication was outstanding throughout the process. I would highly recommend Law One to anyone in need of legal support. Thank you, Law One, for all your dedication and expertise!

I had Joe Elio for my highly contest custody case for ~4yrs. At first, he started to be good at negotiating several stipulations but when it came to going to trial, he and his team did the minimal work which resulted in losing the hearing and Joe E. throwing a literal temper tantrum in front of the judge. If you are going to trial, don’t use him or his firm. He is ok at negotiating. Recently found out that the Privet investigator who referred Joe E to me no longer does business with him nor refers him to her clients.

This place just went down hill . They close your account with out any notice or without your permission . They don’t communicate about attorney’s leaving the firm . Front receptionists appear to be all over the place . This firm is shady . Would not recommend. Take your money somewhere else . Don’t waste your time , it will literally be wasted .

After a five year fiasco with a previous law firm and a dozen interviews in search of the best representation for my Child Support Case, I found Jeff Alter.
From our first conversation I could tell that Jeff really cares about his clients, knows family law forward & backward, and that he wanted to do well for my son and me.
And that's exactly what he did - in a very simple, concise, and professional manner - without running up a huge legal bill or making me feel like I had to run the case on my own due to not caring enough to pay attention to the details - which I had felt for years prior to retaining Jeff's services.
If you are a parent in search of the very best your money can buy, look no further.
Jeff Alter is a true professional and his results speak for themselves.

I was very lucky to work with Nicole. She was kind, understanding and she made sure I was protected and cared for. Helping me proceed far beyond what I would have ever considered. She was great to work with, supportive and honestly, I wish I would have listened to her more!! She is amazing. Trustworthy, compassionate, passionate when it matters and communicated so well, I never felt I didn’t understand what was going on and she is extremely organized. Divorce is a very stressful situation, you want someone like her to be your voice and have your back. Very happy with her representing me.

James Cordes provided terrible advice. His drafting was sloppy and required extensive redrafting by opposing counsel, and he advised me to take a terrible deal. Because of James, I am taking home a fraction of my income. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize how bad it was until firing him and employing new counsel. He is a nice man, but a bad lawyer. I wish I had gotten a second opinion before it was too late.

I had an excellent experience with Fort Collins Family Law. They were incredibly responsive and professional throughout my case. Ms. Lamborne took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and what was important to me. She offered several approaches and developed a plan of action that resulted in a very positive mutual outcome.
Ms. Dandeneu was also very responsive and organized, ensuring seamless communication. Invoices and expenses were clear and agreeable, with no unexpected charges or surprises. Their legal advice was knowledgeable, and they clearly defined the positive and negative implications of our strategy.
I was very happy working with the team and would strongly recommend them to a friend. I will continue to have them represent me without hesitation going forward.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough! No one wants to have to deal with family court issues, but if you do, this is absolutely the law firm to use! Throughout the entire process, Sarah was knowledgeable, kind, empathetic, organized, and realistic. My emails/calls were always answered quickly, and Sarah was always clear and honest as far as what to expect, giving her advice while also listening to my concerns. My only regret is I didn't use her when I first got divorced, haha...this was for a bunch of post-decree stuff, that unfortunately went allllll the way to a hearing. In the courtroom, Sarah was clearly much more prepared than the other counsel, organized, and had made sure I was very clear on what to expect/do, and you can tell she is smart, quick, (and also tough as she cross-examines!) I ended up getting not just everything I wanted, but extra things I didn't expect as well. However, even the outcome was less than that, I would still be recommending her, because of how helpful and amazing she and her staff were for the entire years-long process leading up to this. She was also fair in her billing, (and didn't let the other party or my witness run extra time on the billing clock.) I hope you never need a family attorney, but if you do, this is the one to use.

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.

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.

He also handled my mother's probate in a thorough and efficient way. I have referred numerous clients to Patrick, and they have always been pleased.

I used Ammarell Deasy and specifically Shawn Moussou to represent me and guide me through a divorce case.
He was very thorough, took time to understand my position, explained the process, and helped guide me through things from start to finish.
The divorce process is hard and miserable, but I'm thankful I had professional support from Shawn to advocate for my rights and for my children's rights. Shawn made a difficult situation easier to navigate with his expertise.
The whole office and all the staff at Ammarell Deasy was quick to respond and provided great communication during my case. Shawn, Stacy, George, Alex, and Dan were incredibly helpful.

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.

Only thing going for them is they are nice. My accident was in 2015 that ruined my life. I ended up settling in 2016 and here we are a little over 3 years later and never got a thing. We got totally screwed over. They promised a high amount of money we would receive for 2 years and last min said it would only be about $1000. But here we are and we have not gotten a dime. I went through all of my vacation and sick time with work to drive all around colorado for treatments. Yay me! I haven't heard from this company in probably about 1.5 years. So good luck ya'll!

Collin is an excellent lawyer in that he knows the law and takes great interest in his clients. He worked with me and helped me understand the law and guide me through every detail. I found him very personable, professional and understanding. Throughout the entire process of my divorce he gave me time to work through my own personal issues, handled all the courtroom work and much more. I highly recommend Collin Earl.

We were very happy and thankful for finding Jeremy. We start with another attorney going around in circles. Jeremy was able to get an agreement in place to prevent us going to court. He is understanding and works with you. If you are struggling with a difficult situation, I know that Jeremy can help. If needed in the future, we know where to turn. Thank you, Jeremy!

Mr. Shufflebarger was most helpful during my divorce that spanned two continents. Even though there was a big time difference, he was reliable and diligent in his work and communication. Knowing that he had my back and fought for me made all the difference. Should I ever need more legal help, he will be my first choice.

Mr. Shuffelbarger was very responsive and proactive in my family court case. He communicated thoroughly and was promptly available throughout a very difficult and trying custody case. The outcome was exactly what we were going. He was kind and compassionate and truly cared about me as a person and not just the case.

I hate using lawyers and think most are incompetent. However i found a great one in Mr. Ditlow. He helped me resolve a custody issue with my sons mother and was great to work with. He communicated well, was detailed, and was very knowledgeable. He returned every email and phone call i made to him in a very timely manner and actually explained things to me in a way that i could understand. I hope i never need him again but if i do he is my man.

Dear potential future client, I’ve been where you are at this very moment, looking at reviews and thinking or responding to a divorce. It can be a scary moment to face alone. So much can depend on these next few actions. So please take a moment to breath and read the following.
I was married for 15 years at the time the divorce was finalized. I was blindsided by my ex-wife's choice when I got the paperwork served to me. I was heartbroken and felt like a failure as a husband and more importantly as a father. I had three beautiful kids, an almost 20-year military career, a house/assets, and now a future that was in a limbo of some extreme altering from one person’s decision. It was overwhelming. So many thoughts and feelings flooded my mind and body. I knew I needed help, and quickly, so my response was to find the right people to help me through this process, which started with internet searches, reading testimonials, and making phone calls just like you, which lead me to Jad and Kara. If I can save you the wasted time please stop and call Marrison Family Law. I was quickly put in touched with Jad and Kara. Jad and Kara respond quickly and deliberately. They were able to guide and inform me of everything I needed to know and act upon to protect myself and my interests. Quickly the ex-spouse realized my legal team was head and shoulders better than her lawyer. She also realized that it was in her best interest to negotiate and play fairly otherwise she would be facing a very difficult time along with mounting legal fees and what Kara would coin the weight of a legal whale crushing down on her.
This is extremely important moment for you, and there are major life decisions being made that are going to have an impact on your future. Please do not go at it alone; pick a team that has a proven track record. Listen divorce is brutal for everyone involved even if it is mutual and I would suggest having experts to help you. There are many different lawyers you can choose from, but I can personally vouch for Jad, Kara, and Marrison law firm. From the first contact until notice to withdrawal it was handled delicately and most professionally at all times. They gave me something that I was not able to find with other places I had talked to before, which was a reassurance that they had my back no matter what. Throughout the entire process, I did not have to worry unlike my ex-wife, which allowed me to place my focus on other more important aspects of my life, like spending time with my kids, getting the things I needed to help me move forward, and peace of mind, it is critical that you can think clearly to make decision. You have heard it over and over, if you are facing a legal issue get a lawyer. Men as a guy I went through great lengths to make sure my legal team was going to defend my rights as a male. This is them. Ladies, as a guy I would have not wanted to know that my ex-wife had just hired Jad and Kara to defend her.
To Jad and Kara, sincerely I am forever grateful that our paths crossed and you helped bring closure to this life-changing event for me. A simple thank you doesn’t ever seem to be enough. However, thank you for what you did for this single father — to the rest of you still reading. I wish you the peace of mind I had while going through this process and I hope you call Marrison law firm and request Jad and Kara. It's a choice you will later thank yourself for doing.

If you are getting divorced, you need an attorney, and arguably, even if you are well-acquainted with the legal arena. I started my divorce without one and soon realized that I needed one, which was one of the two best decisions I made. The second, and of equal weight, was hiring Joseph A. Ditlow (JAD) of Marrison Family Law.
If you don’t know what to look for in an attorney, the internet provides lists of standard characteristics that every good attorney should have. JAD has them all, but let me explain what sets him apart even further:
JAD won’t compromise his integrity or reputation for a client. He careful filtered the information I gave him to ensure I was being honest and thorough, giving him a clear understanding of the coming battle.
Divorces are charged with emotion. It’s easy for a client to think of an attorney as a counselor and lose track of time. Counselors are far less expensive than attorneys. Still, attorneys need a degree of history and relational information for context. JAD was mindful of the clock and my strained budget and masterfully helped me stay on track and task. More so, though, JAD captured the information he needed to understand me and my concerns.
My case took unexpected and somewhat shocking turns and dives that placed enormous and sometimes short-notice demands on assessing how to respond and proceed. JAD remained unshaken, professional, and hugely supportive. His confidence and encouragement was profoundly meaningful and beneficial to me, and his ability to shift gears with speed, accuracy, and clarity exceeded measurable value.
I was sometimes given information I didn’t like, or that I thought was wrong or found unfair. JAD understood and helped me face some facts with candor but grace, even when I responded with a lack of grace myself.
There was a lot of noise in my case, and because there is only so much time in the court room, we had to discern very carefully what really mattered. JAD focused on my desired outcomes while advising me on what was realistic, what should be our priorities, and what risks should be abandoned until we reached an agreement based on what I could live with. In my case, his method and approach was monumentally successful.
There were several things he did that were really the glue that held everything together: uncompromisingly ethical; researching; exhaustively exploring and/or pursuing preferred options with opposing counsel; having flexibility; making connections; really hearing me; checking in on me; being tirelessly attentive and responsive to my case, even after hours; educating me; coaching me on the value of timing and waiting; his own self-discipline; and especially, meeting me where I am based on my world view.
JAD and I were together on my case for a long time. Time can make or break any relationship because it provides the opportunity to really see what someone is made of. I am certain that my case is only quiet for the moment, and not really closed. Therefore, knowing what JAD is made of, we will be working together again, eventually.
I don’t know what JAD’s personal worldview is. He has never volunteered it, and I have never asked. What I do know is this: My worldview prompts me to thank God for him.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
