I talked to a lot of attorneys about my situation, but Yliana was the first one that took the time to explain the details of my particular circumstance in a way that helped me clearly understand what my best options were. The time she spent with me has been invaluable and I highly recommend her and and her team!

I worked very closely with Meredith Quinlivan on a litigation case. She was very patient as we walked through the process together. She was diligent about collecting facts and always informing me of how the case was going.
Our final settlement was very fair. I would recommend Meredith Quinlivan as a litigation attorney.

Dan and Lettie were consistently responsive, professional, and compassionate. Their steadfast presence through an extremely difficult time was a source of great support. Dan's calm demeanor in the courtroom helped me manage the intensity of my emotions as we sought to secure my divorce and permanent restraining order. His insight in the line of questioning was outstanding and I am forever grateful I chose to have him on my side.

This firm has a real salt of the earth flavor. Even during a complicated set of circumstances re: my divorce, Dan (McGuinness) was able to filter through many complexities, keep my children safe, execute provisional motions/petitions in an expediated fashion, and keep costs down... All while orchestrating a solid legal platform to stand on for future endeavors. I could not recommend another legal representative in as high of a fashion in La Plata, nor would I! If im ever in need of professional legal services again, They will be my first (and likely last) call made locally.

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. They are not only a highly skilled attorney but also a compassionate advocate who truly cares about their clients.

Chris Spoto and Kara Mietlicki I can’t thank you enough for your great, kind, compassionate, dedication, hard work and the list can go on with my gratitude towards you!

Erika and her team were amazing!! They went above and beyond in every way possible. Erika was always available to answer my questions no matter what time of day it was. She explained the process every step of the way and was a true advocate for my son and I. I knew she always had my back and she made what was possibly one of the most difficult times in my life, as smooth and seamless as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome and it's all because of Erika. She's professional, down to earth, relatable, crazy smart and the best at what she does. She is my knight in shinning armor and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for me!!

In the beginning it felt like this firm truly had my children's best interest at heart. My case played out for over 3 years. After "winning" at trial with further litigation to take place, I was struck with an uneasy feeling. I felt bullied into a settlement as the attorneys were fed up with my case. Many people had told me over the duration of my case that things weren't quite adding up and that my attorney did not seem to have our best interests at heart. I began to reflect on the case and all the inconsistencies, placating to the other side and capitulating to them as well. I then conferred with another attorney and ended up retaining her services to finish out my case. Upon the new attorney's review of my case, she stated this case was a mess, and she was flabbergasted at all the litigation that was allowed to take place. She mentioned there was a much more direct way to have gone about this case, less money and time wasted, not to mention my children's mental and emotional health. My worst feelings had been confirmed. It is a relief to finally have someone on my case who is truly for the children and not the money.

Jason Wareham will fight for you. Whatever you are facing, Jason is the attorney you want in your corner.
When I needed legal representation, I turned to Jason and I am glad I did. Not only did he exhibit a tremendous wealth of knowledge, but he fought for me like a champion in the ring. From the minute he took my case, I knew he had my back.
Jason Wareham's knowledge, experience, perseverance, and loyalty shone through. I am thankful to have found such an excellent attorney and I would recommend his services to anyone.

Mr. Coram,
Your access to MyChart was terminated for misuse. You have been provided with copies of all your records on several occasions. If you want additional copies of your records in any format, please provide me with a HIPAA compliant release and let me know in what format you want those records and DHHA will provide them.
I did not provide him with the form he requested and he still accessed my private information. He's is currently being employed by Denver Health as a defense attorney. YOU CANT DO THAT PAUL!

I could not recommend this practice more! Aaron Pembleton and Kathy Tate were so helpful through such a terrible point in my life. I knew and was confident through the entire process that they had everything handled and did a terrific job thoughout the whole case. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you, you do not have to look any further! Aaron was very helpful throughout the entire case, always helped me understand what was going on and was always available to answer questions and help me understand anything that I didnt.

My experience with Attorney Sabra Janko was highly unsatisfactory. Her disorganization was glaring, leading to a lack of confidence in her abilities. She demonstrated a concerning lack of knowledge regarding crucial aspects like veteran pay, notably the Military Housing Allowance. Moreover, her representation left me feeling unsupported; she failed to embody the role of a dedicated advocate for her client's best interests.

I am very disturbed with unethical manner in which my family was "represented " for lack of a better term. I would suggest not paying upfront because then the job is already done with nothing left to work for. Very disheartening for the amount of money and stress. If I would have stayed with this firm I would not be free right now. I had better luck and support from the public defender.

We so much appreciate the personal help and attention our son's lawyer, Chris Corkadel, gave to him and to us as parents. As out of state residents, all three of us needed help in dealing with our son's past traffic violation in Colorado, which prevented him from overcoming the suspension of his driver's license in any state. This in turn obviously blocked avenues of work and income during a time when the pandemic made it crucial to find jobs. Chris' experience with the courts in Colorado, his dedication, his friendly and warm listening skills, all worked together to result in a new driver's license for our son, and because of that, our son has a new lease on life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Torrey was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me find justice in two different, very difficult cases. Minor details, which could have easily been overlooked, were the ultimately the key to helping me win my cases and she was able to pick up on those small-print details in my documents and bring them to light in court.

I was tasked by Ms. Moligan to visit various properties around town (Portland , Oregon) to take photos. I qualify as disabled and needed supplemental income to help pay my bills. She paid me $200 per property visit and photos. I do not know what the photos are for, and I don’t care. She is helping me and others like me to pay our rent.

I hope for the future Google Reviews can provide an option of (—) Negative starts in the mean time I’m gonna rate this little mediocre house “business” a — 9. I schedule an appointment with a month of anticipation for March 18th on the first place, mind you I create this appointment around February if not sooner around last weeks of January. I call to confirm on March 15th to my surprise a lady answers and says “we hope you called us back, we are gonna have to reschedule due the person in charge of your case is out for an audience” My initial thought was, there’s no one else that can take my case? There’s just one lawyer? Didn’t thought that much of it, they rescheduled me for today April 8th at 4pm. I call today in the early morning to confirm my appointment before I do so I found a v-m in my phone form some lady saying “please call us back as soon as you hear this” so I do, for my surprised the First Lady that answers doesn’t have any idea of how to help me, they transferred me with another person and this one tells me we are gonna have to reschedule the reschedule ONCE AGAIN! Due the lawyer taking your case is out sick.” I am beyond upset at this point, this is the second time they rescheduled me! I told the lady the that was unacceptable, she give me the option to come tomorrow and the I told her that I couldn’t be missing work, I already asked for the evening off so to please let me keep the same time and to find me another lawyer that could take care of my case. This lady proceeds to tell me “yes, let me see what I can do and I would give you a callback.” This happens at 10:23am for the rest of the day I never received a call, email, text, message , fire sign or anything from this person. So, if you are desperate, have limited funds and need assistance ASAP please AVOID THIS little piece of trash !! They would waste your time, resources, money, gas and words. Spend the extra fees in someone that actually follows direction, mean what they say and has genuine word, not this little circus. Do better , y’all playing with peoples lives and time. Shame on you and your ancestors!!!!

We had a long road ahead of us with adopting my daughter. Every single member at the office was very kind, welcoming, understanding. They walked us through step by step on things we didn’t understand. I would refer anyone, going through this process to them.

My case was unique and took way longer to resolve than first anticipated. The cost was higher than originally anticipated, but it was due to the complications of the case. They were always helpful when questions arose. The only negative is the original lawyer quit and moved on so I had to have another lawyer assigned, but it did not really affect the outcome.

I am an experienced lawyer, but no longer handle residential landlord/tenant litigation. When I needed help for a rental property I own, I knew I was not up to date on recent changes to Colorado landlord/tenant laws. Sal personally returned my call promptly and quickly drafted the necessary documents for me. It was a pleasure working with him.

My experience with CFI Kimberly Utesch in Colorado was highly disappointing. From start to finish, it was evident that Ms. Utesch lacked the competence and dedication necessary for her role. Throughout the investigation process, she seemed to simply phone it in, displaying a lack of thoroughness and professionalism. She often had an auto-reply email set up which made getting a hold of her very difficult. She refused to review any videos or relevant evidence because would not allow me to send these items through Dropbox, as the files were too large for email.
She conducted my "home visit" through Zoom. To make this even worse, when she called on Zoom to do the home visit she started to berate me and tell me that it was inappropriate that I had my child present for our interview. She seemingly forgot that this appointment was for the home visit that she had specifically asked me to have my child present. She then proceeded to turn her camera off and "watch us interact" for 30 minutes.
One of the most concerning aspects of Ms. Utesch's performance was her failure to interview ANY of the family members who had submitted questionnaires...... on either side of the family. This negligence not only demonstrates a lack of diligence but also raises serious doubts about the validity and fairness of her findings. How can a comprehensive investigation be conducted without gathering input from all relevant parties?
Furthermore, Ms. Utesch's overall competency was severely lacking. It was clear that she did not possess the necessary skills or knowledge to handle the complexities of the case. Her lack of attention to detail and apparent disinterest in the matter at hand only exacerbated the situation. To make things worse she then asked for more money at the end of her investigation. The ONLY thing my son's mother and I have ever agreed on is that Ms Utesch has no business being a CFI.
Less than a year after her report was completed, our judge allowed us to have another investigation completed. This report had DRASTICALLY different findings. Her entire report was a waste of time and money.
Overall, I would not recommend Ms. Utesch as a CFI based on my experience. Her subpar performance and lack of thoroughness do a disservice to the families relying on her expertise. I urge anyone seeking a competent and dedicated CFI to look elsewhere.

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.
