Rebecca is probably one of the finest attorneys I have ever had the pleasure to know. She took on my narcissistic husband like a bat out of hell!l I have never met someone in her field, who genuinely cares about every single client. She is genuinely interested in all facets of your case. That I could never have handled this situation without her expertise, compassion, and chutzpah. Rebecca went to war for me. I highly recommend Rebecca she is truly top shelf. The best of the best.

I have worked with Rebecca for over a decade. Time and time again she has come through for me, and more importantly, for my kids. She has helped to temper my emotions going through difficult civil proceedings and focus on the most important elements. You cannot go wrong working with Rebecca. She has a lot of experience for sure but also some unique attributes. Her memory is incredible. I think she remembers details of my case history better than I do. She also sees through the clutter to the most important facts to secure a win. It has been my misfortune over the years to face many legal misadventures but Rebecca has been a rare bright light throughout. I wish her all the best and continued success in the future. If she has an opening to take your case please don't hesitate to hire her.

I engaged Robin Beattie to represent me when my ex-husband filed a motion to terminate the maintenance he had agreed to during our divorce proceedings. My attorney had since retired, and I reached out to Robin for representation. She gave me realistic expectations when we first met...what this would cost if it indeed when to court, why considering a settlement had merit, what my chances of prevailing were, and what to expect on this journey. Everything she told me in that initial discussion turned out to be spot-on. During this emotionally-charged and challenging journey, Robin was a voice of professionalism, expertise, compassion and wisdom. She made thoughtful decisions around how/where to spend my money to provide the best outcomes, always knew the details of what was occurring in the lead-up to court, kept opposing council accountable for what they were to be doing, and built a legal case with great merit. Robin’s level of preparation for my court case was beyond impressive. Several weeks before my court date, she had prepared her entire case, enlisted feedback from her team at the firm, worked with me to clarify points and ensure my comfort with it, and explained the variety of strategies she was employing for my case. In the last few weeks and days leading up to court, she continued to refine and hone her case. During court, she made pivots when necessary to address opposing council and witness testimony. She remained professional in the face of opposing council who behaved very unprofessionally throughout from initial contact, through the day in court. Ultimately, Robin won my case…with no modification or termination of my original agreement. I’m forever grateful to Robin and highly recommend her services!

Robin Beattie...best Lawyer for family law. I never had to retain her. I "consulted" with her about 4-5 times over a couple years on how to proceed with my ex. She didn't want me to waste my funds because she knew I was a single parent only receiving $150/month child support. She didn't just teach me the law and help me represent myself to the courts, she taught me how to speak and present myself in a way the courts will listen. She helped me to stand strong and keep fighting for my girls. Which I did. In the end I had a Decision Maker dismissed, a Child Investigation Report thrown out that stated they should live with their Dad and, the best part, standing up to a narcissistic and abusive person defeated him and he signed over full custody with the snap of my fingers. I'm a shark because of her. I not only won against the ex and the courts, I carried all of the skills I learned from her into my business and day to day life. I might not be a lawyer, but I sure do know the law better than I did. The most important lesson I learned through my time with Robin was that the courts do not care about how you feel. Not at all. They care about the law so you have to speak to them like you're a law book.

When one goes through a divorce, it's easy to let one's emotions drive the train. Robin managed to be completely empathetic to my feelings while still keeping things in perspective as to what ultimately mattered. I think a lot of attorneys stay detached so they can stay professional, or they get too emotionally involved in their clients situation. I'll scenarios are completely understandable in my opinion , but Robin does neither. She's warm yet professional. I can't recommend her highly enough

Lee Strickler represented me in a nasty divorce with factors including high income, business ownership, multiple properties, and false accusations. She stood by me for the entire nine year maintenance agreement where I needed her assistance from time to time. With all the cases she has, she never forgot mine. At the end of the maintence agreement my ex tried to modify, and as always, Lee was on it, strong, on point, knew Colorado law and applicable case law, and we had a favorable outcome, meaning it's over! I highly recommend her and if I had to do it again I would not consider any lawyer but Lee.

I’ll never be able to say thank you enough to Lee and her team for everything that they did for me during my divorce. Her level of expertise in the family courts is unmatched and is complimented by the couple of amazing attorney she surrounds herself with. I never questioned her judgment or direction, she had my complete trust. My divorce involved children and parenting time as well as maintenance and protection orders. My case required numerous court appearances, of which Lee timely attended all of. She tactfully advocated with my best interests in mind and those of my children. I’m quite certain the outcome would’ve been far different had I not had Lee in my corner. For a period of time I put my livelihood in the hands of Lee Strickler, and I will forever be grateful that I did.

The entire staff at Marrison Family Law is top notch! Having been a client for 2.5 years during my DV divorce and custody case, I can say with out a doubt that I made the best choice in law firm. You can tell that every client matters to the owner Pat Marrison and the firm. Mark Bosworth and his paralegal Shannon have been nothing short of outstanding through the entire process- and I did not have an easy divorce case. They handled every aspect of the case with professionalism, support and are both extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the process of family law cases. I was awarded full custody of my children and Mark and his team fought to make sure that was the outcome. I cannot recommend them enough! When you are going through a hard situation and need someone strong by your side, Marrison Family Law is the best choice!

A friend referred me to Dominic J. Perrino and told me that he was helping her navigate a contentious adversary who was negatively affecting her children and was causing great distress for her whole family. She told me that Mr. Perrino was compassionate, highly efficient, helped her with the documentation, and listened carefully to her needs. I had spent several months contacting about 42 divorce lawyers in the Colorado Springs area, but I finally decided to go with Marrison Family Law because of my friend’s recommendation. Mr. Perrino did not disappoint — far from it, and he came up with strategies for me that solved seemingly impossible problems, saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and was able to assist me in negotiating a divorce settlement that made the difference between walking away with enough to start my life over or ending up in a protracted fight and financially catastrophic outcome which is the likely fate I was facing. My paralegal, Rene, has given me appropriate, focused attention, responded quickly and efficiently to every inquiry I’ve made, at the same time that she and my lawyer have worked very hard to keep my fees to a minimum. As a result, I was able to get through this extremely painful and harrowing process in roughly 100 days with competent, caring support. I have full confidence that they are fully invested in my success and truly care about my well-being. A professional staff member at Marrison Family Law answers the phone every single time I have called during business hours. They respond to my e-mail communications usually within the same day or no later than the next business day. They are consistently professional, courteous, and efficient. I am eternally grateful to Dominic, Rene, the support staff, and Ms. Marrison for providing a level of personalized and professional service that I would never have been able to find at a big-name law firm. Also, unlike other practices I have researched, they do not have a policy of intentionally aggravating emotions in order to create conflict between the parties so that they can increase their charges. Quite the opposite, they were completely cooperative to my insistence that I maintain a stance of peace during the divorce process. They made sure that I didn’t incur any unnecessary charges so my total divorce costs were about a third of what I expected — and I am fantastically happy about that. I must also give credit where credit is due; this outcome heavily depended upon the cooperation of the other party to a peaceful process. Everyone has a unique situation and experience with their divorce, so your experience might be different but I highly recommend Marrison Family Law because they are truly focused on my success, are cost-conscientious, and they were able to provide efficient, personalized, creative strategies for problem solving. Finally, and most importantly, I believe that my friend’s referral to Mr. Perrino was Divinely directed. Thanks be to God for His provision, protection, and guidance! Blessings, An eternally grateful client

I highly recommend Brent Warkentine and his staff. After working with other lawyers and spending unnecessary money without making any progress with my ex, Brent was a game-changer. He is highly experienced, efficient, kind, smart, and no-nonsense. With Brent in my corner, I felt confident and heard. He is a clear and honest straight-talker. You will feel assured that you are in the best hands, as there is no situation he hasn’t seen or dealt with in some way. My case was emotional and contentious and Warkentine Law kept me on an even knell while moving the issues forward professionally and successfully. I am very satisfied and relieved with the outcome. As well, Brent is mindful not to charge for unnecessary work or drive up costs and helped me stay focused on the big picture instead of getting caught up in small issues. Brent is ethical and fair, with an unmatched reputation as an effective advocate. I’m blessed to have found Warkentine Law and will continue to use Brent and his staff for any legal issues in the future.

As a business owner going through a divorce in Colorado, I found myself in need of a family law attorney who could navigate the complexities of my case with an astute understanding of both family law and business ownership. Gavin Halligan and the team at Halligan LLC exceeded all my expectations. Gavin demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge specific to Colorado divorce law, particularly as it pertains to the division of assets and businesses. She was able to meticulously dissect the intricate web of my business finances to ensure a fair division of assets. Her understanding of the interplay between business ownership and divorce law was, quite frankly, remarkable. Throughout the process, Gavin's communication was consistently clear, straightforward, and tailored to my understanding. She took the time to explain the legal jargon and ensured I was fully aware of all potential outcomes. Her strategic approach and expert negotiation skills allowed us to avoid a lengthy and expensive trial, for which I am extremely grateful. Every interaction I had with the team at Halligan LLC was a testament to their professionalism and efficiency. They made the process as seamless as possible, constantly keeping me informed about my case. Gavin Halligan's expertise is evident in her mastery of both family law and the specific challenges that come with business ownership in a divorce setting. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in a similar situation. Her five-star performance made a difficult process significantly easier for me, and I am certain she will do the same for others.

Matt Walker represented me for 3 misdemeanor DV charges in Jefferson County. He heard my case and told me not to take the plea deal. With his help my case was Dismissed before trial. Matt was there to walk me through every step. If I needed him he was always just a text away and would call as soon as he was available. He suggested to meet as the trial got closer, not to go over anything but to calm my nerves as this was my first time in any sort of trouble. He never made me feel rushed and listened to all concerns. He is also a huge LGBTQ advocate which for my case was essential. I can’t recommend Matt enough and will forever be thankful for him and know if I ever needed counsel again he’s there.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the team of people over at Kalamaya Goscha, especially the services of Ms. Georgina Melbye. Since the very beginning of my DUI case, she was there making sure that I felt comfortable and in the know with everything going on. Being that it was my very first court case ever, the whole process felt pretty scary and overwhelming. Having Georgina there made everything clearer, less confusing, and and overall just took a lot of anxiety off my plate. When it came to the sentencing of my case, instead of simply settling on the normal sentence the judge would typically address in this scenario, Georgina spent months and months fighting to get me a better plea deal from the DA. In the end, she did exactly that, and I am so grateful. She is professional, she works hard for her clients, and most importantly she is just really good people. Easy to communicate with, straightforward, nonjudgemental and compassionate. I can’t thank Georgina and the entire team and Kalamaya Goscha enough for their time and services through such a scary and uncomfortable time. Would highly recommend to anyone going through any legal troubles.

He takes charge of the situation and avoids getting intimidated by the other party. His office staff is friendly and communicates clearly, and quickly.

My first call into this office, Joe took my call directly and I could immediatly tell he was an attorney sincerely vested in his clients and thier cases. He has a level of humanity and integrity that is frankly hard to find in the field. He agreed to take on, what I was repeatedly told by nearly everyone, was an "unwinnable" case agianst The Department of Human Sevices over a TRAILS finding. Joe and his staff were so incredibly responsive, efficient and thorough in their assistance and handling of my case. Having them on my side to handle all the legalize, I knew that I was in the best of legal hands possible in a part of the law way over most people's heads. For the first time in years, I could focus just on LIVING. Our TRAILS appeal, that won an Administrative Law Judges ruling in our favor back in 2018, was overturned CDHS themeslves (because they can do that!) and went all the way to th Colorado Court of Appeals where it was unaimously reversed again by all three judges, back to the ALJ initial decision.

He really knows how to handle people and made what was a very emotionally difficult situation just a little better by his thoughtful and caring manner. I really don't think another firm would have stuck with us and brought our matter to resolution. He is a skilled attorney and I count myself fortunate to have had him on my side.

Recommended by a colleague who had previously worked with him on other cases, Mr. Podboy would deliver beyond our expectations as a family. I could not have asked for better legal representation, at such a desperate hour. First impression at our first meeting would suck my family members & I in, leaving us to confidently conclude, Mr. Podboy had been God sent, an answered prayer. He was highly educated, professional, empathetic, attentive, intelligent, eloquent, knowledgeable, and just a natural at what he did. His analytical mind would right away lead him to conclude and believe that I had been wrongfully accused. He was angry, determined and unrestrained in vigorously coming to my defense and proving my innocence. It was a homicide case and he went to work immediately, with a passion that would leave no stone unturned in the discovery process of the case. His many years of experience working the system was illustrated with his knowledge and display of a wide range of resources, all at his fingertips; in terms of who, where, what, why, when and how. He was confident, well versed with the ins and outs of the law, and just a pro at what he did; and he was going to fight to the last tooth. He relentlessly hammered at the prosecuting team, putting them on the defensive. His brilliance allowed him to take risks in this case which he admitted to be risks, rarely taken in other cases, with the ultimate aim of winning, whatever it took. His principle was “the truth would set me free”, always reminding me that he was paid to worry, and not me. He was brutal in his negotiations, unrestrained, and would not settle for anything that would put a criminal taint on my record. He owned the courtroom, he was poised, & had a presence that commanded respect from his colleagues and all those around. Mr. Podboy is a very reliable professional, always very attentive to detail, very accessible and promptly returns all calls, in which all concerns are addressed, hence making one feel at ease, and reducing a mountain to a valley. It wasn’t just a job for him, he went above and beyond and did his work with so much integrity, that his fellow attorneys held him in high esteem too. He is very personable, and has a very spontaneous sense of humor. There was never a dull moment with him. Even through the tough times we were faced with, he found a way to make light of the situation while comforting and calming. I could sleep well at night knowing that my lawyer had my back. He fought so hard and tackled all the obstacles with class and dignity. He took time to understand me as a person and my big family as well. Looking for a criminal attorney who will fight effortlessly, Mr. Podboy is the guy for the job. On the scale of 1 to 10 I would say 110. He delivered on my case with a dismissal! I thank God for him. I highly and honestly recommend him.

Smart, firm, powerful, quick, and know how to represent his clients. I felt from the beginning when I first came to Ron Podboy for a criminal defense case. The charges that were alleged carried 10 year to life in prison. We knew the truth and never backed down to the pressure of a fight we knew was truth. Presenting the truth isn't always easy but without his hard work and representation I would not be here today to write this review. Not guilty on all charges even when I was being put to hang by the D.A. and the "victim". Take serious consideration when your life is on the line! Ron Podboy is my choice. He was worth every penny!

Jason was able to get my DUI case looked at as a first offense and not a second offense that the court had put forth. With that he was also able to get the other charges dropped and was able to get me my property back. Short of a full dismissal of the charges Jason accomplished the best case scenario for me. He was professional and detailed with his answers and he truly cared about the out come of the case. He worked along side me to allow for time to complete the stipulations associated with the charge.

I interviewed 15+ local attorneys and finally came across Lyndsay. Immediately, I knew she was it. It’s so daunting to put the fate of your future in the hands of one person but Lyndsay made me feel heard and validated my concerns right away. She was the only attorney to discuss what to expect during the process, which naturally included extended periods of time with little to no contact. The team at Ressler law are attentive and I was always able to reach someone to answer my question or concern. Lyndsay KNOWS the law and how to get her clients positive results. She was poised, passionate and powerful in the court room! Lyndsay knew every key detail to my case and was able to present those details to the judge flawlessly. In addition to her unparalleled knowledge and experience in family law she doesn’t waste her time or yours. Lyndsay is very direct and to the point but has listened to me bawl my eyes out and offered me both empathy and support in those trying moments. This was the longest, most stressful and hardest fight of my life and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with such a pivotal moment.

It’s hard to find a genuine person in the world of Divorce/Family Attorneys. With the money and stress associated with family law, it’s important to hire someone interested in serving the needs of their clients rather racking up billable hours. Lyndsay Ressler truly is that attorney. After doing an initial consultation with Lyndsay in regards to a child support dispute, I felt very confident that Lyndsay was the right attorney for the job. The family court system is very subjective and tough to navigate. Lyndsay handled my case like the expert in the field that she is. In the end, you should pick an attorney that can get you results. Lyndsay presented the merits of my case, worked out a suitable settlement, and ultimately got the results I needed. And she did so, without charging an exorbitant rate. I was very please with my experience with Lyndsay and her team at Ressler Law and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great attorney.

I have been working with Travis for 8 years, and he has been an incredible lawyer, advisor, leader and (unknowingly) therapist! I have been holding out and saving my review for Travis and his team for when my ex wife stops taking me to court! Unfortunately, that has not been the case! What I do find to be reassuring is that I know Travis always has my back and is always fighting for what is in my son's best interest, my best interest, our best interest. Travis always listens and ensures he understands what it is I am feeling and needing before developing a plan. He is very strategic in everything he does, and wastes no time getting where we need to go. Travis will take the risks worth taking and when he takes them he does so with a huge heart and great passion. Travis is true and pure and I am a better person having met him.

Originally I started with a lawyer where when we showed up to the first court appearance the Judge shut us out didn’t let that attorney speak, and didn’t want to hear anything she had to say! I’m so glad she chose to transfer the case to Jessica Lasky. This amazing attorney came in like super woman throwing blows to the entire court system. Fortunately she is well experienced with the DA and knows a lot of things that normal attorneys aren’t familiar with. Everything started in early August and by Late November I had my life and freedom back forever. Thank you so much to this amazing staff who taught me the reason why it is beneficial to have a outstanding Law Firm on your side.

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.
