I had a very positive experience with Stahly Mehrtens, specifically with Brittany Frisbie and Nichole Perry. Brittany and Nichole were knowledgable, responsive, and efficient, and ultimately achieved the exact result I had hoped for. Furthermore, their patience and understanding helped to make a difficult and painful situation much more manageable. I highly recommend Brittany, Nichole, and the entire firm.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. West; whose service has proven to be exceptionally valuable, supportive, and distinguished.
I believe Mr. West stands out as a true exemplar of legal professionalism and dedicated service. He and his team's unwavering commitment to the betterment of clients, their issues, and the community has been both evident and impactful.
Through years of principled dedication, particularly in my extended family law issue, he became a beacon of rationality and disciplined thought which proved vital for my survival during the chaos of an extended custody battle.
What distinguishes Mr. West is his profound dedication to ensuring that I received not only expert legal guidance but also compassionate support during my contentious family law situation.
His principles and unwavering dedication have significantly contributed to resolving my conflict with integrity and sensitivity.
I firmly believe that when seeking counsel, particularly in family law cases where emotions often run high, Mr. West and his team should be at the forefront of consideration.

Bridgette is an absolutely amazing attorney. She has represented me on several occasions and has always done a great job. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of such services.
Bridgette has approached every one of my cases with precision and professionalism. She balances the need to be stern and flexible when in negotiations and knows her way in the court room. Her knowledge of Colorado Family Law is impressive to say the least! Her rates are very fair and she does not create a lot of excess issues within a case to run up costs.
Ashlyn is an amazing paralegal who is extremely helpful and competent. She is very articulate and performs her job well. She responds back quickly when questions need to be answered or information needs to be relayed. She is an excellent resource for both attorney and clients.
Kaczmarek law firm provides the exact type of representation you want and deserve from a family law attorney! Bridgette and Ashlyn provide the perfect balance of a personalized and professional services for their clients. Both ladies are excellent at what they do and work really well together. I have always felt well represented and confident by using this law firm!

Done as little as she could with my case, persuaded me to a plea deal! Which wasn't bad! Over charged me because of text messages, she insisted I use! There was no contract on prices of text at all! Cost me over 1000 more than should have!

Lindsey was very professional and easy to get a hold of. My divorce took some time, because it wasn’t amicable. Lindsey let me know how things were going as we progressed, and made sure we approached each avenue for resolution with the appropriate response. At times, I felt overwhelmed, or like things wouldn’t go well, but that’s just divorce/court. If you keep a level head and realize court happens at a titles pace, she will be sure to get you a good outcome for all involved. If your looking for revenge and want things to happen faster than it should, then divorce court will probably not go the way you want it to. The long game is what’s important. The long game is what made things go from me drowning to me feeling like, okay, I can do this.

My experience with Allen Vellone Wolf Helfrich & Factor has been beyond great. They dug into the issues of my case and discovered things in my favor that go far beyond what other defendants in the same case appear to have missed or not seriously considered. My opinions of Jim Helfrich and Kate Sender go beyond my ability to express. The best I can say is that I trust them to do their absolute best, which I believe they have done. No bullshit.
They haven’t always told me what I want to hear, but they have always considered my opinion and that has been reflected in the things they have produced on my behalf. My case is not over, but they believe in me and have taken my side with the best they have to offer. Their rates are fair, and I have never had the feeling they were fabricating hours as so many law firms do, especially the law firm that is attacking me. I suspect I will have more to add to this review in the future.

Michael Root failed to provide me with adequate representation in a Retaliation Against a Judge case. The witness (alleged victim Judge) had provably lied on the witness stand, and Mr. Root, more concerned about preserving his career than seeking justice, threw me under the bus: the official Court transcript vs. the actual evidence on the record of the Court proves this. Not recommended.

My son had Stephen McWhirter represent him in his divorce case. My son’s ex-wife was allowed to lie and defame my son’s character and his ability to parent without being confronted during a cross examine. Mr McWhirter allowed the other attorney to take all the time, delay the final hearing and claim she had full consent from my son before submitting the final hearing to the court. McWhirter not only didn’t stand up for my son but didn’t even stand up for himself with the opposing attorney. $25,000 to be drug through the mud. Disgusting.

Terrell spoke with me for 30 minutes and even though he decided to not take on my case he was more helpful then anyone else I’ve spoken to. Terrell listened to my story and let me dive into the details I wanted and then gave me his advise while informing me of how different things work in the system. I feel much more confident about my decision and case after speaking with him. Very kind man that I would be happy to work with in the future but pray I will never have to.

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.

I hired Nicole Duncan as my divorce lawyer. I found her completely unsympathetic- often times giving me responses and/or remarks that pertained to my ex- partner's side/view. My relationship with my ex-wife was emotionally abusive. I didn't need to explain that to her for her to respect my wishes and remain neutral -at the very least. I insisted that I have no interaction with my ex- as I have just escaped a bad marriage- and she argued with me saying it would cost more to communicate separately and even went against my wishes and combined us on email. I would not recommend her to anyone especially those feeling sensitive or vulnerable as they go through the divorce process.

I called for a consultation, and Mr Garcia was very rude on the phone, I actually asked if I was bothering him by inquiring, as he was very short and not responding, lots of awkward silence in the whole 5 min phone call, and then I just said I would contact another firm and he replied 'do that' and hung up. Wouldn't recommended. Disappointing as he was recommended to me by a friend.

Mr Garcia handled my first family case for me in which I was facing losing my kids due to false allegations. Mr. Garcia protected my rights as a parent and the case went in my favor. Michael was very direct and straightforward regarding my situation. I did not have to repeatedly try and get updates from Mr. Garcia. I gave him anything I could to help him in my case, continued on in my day to day tasks while having trust and remaining patient. My case was over with the results I wanted before the judge even heard my case. I then looked to Mr. Garcia to represent me in another family law case. When I arrived I was more than 5 hours late for our scheduled appointment however Mr. Garcia still managed to fit us in his schedule. My experience when using other attorneys was that they make you feel as you need them only because they want your money. Mr. Garcia did exactly opposite. He literally reenacted the court process as if we were in the court room with the judge himself. He explained to me the correct terminology, how to file paperwork, how to present my case as well as told me what to expect from her attorney and how to protect myself against the things he would do or say. After leaving his office I really felt as I could handle the case alone however I felt it's best to leave that to someone experienced. Mr. Garcia's rates are a little higher than others, however the cost for reassurance and results is little compared to the relationship between me and my children. I would highly recommend Mr. Garcia to others as well as use him for any other family court issues.

He is a great attorney. I’ve had a few other attorneys in the past that spent my whole retainer in no time I used Louis on a family matter and he did not. He knew what he was doing, his experience in the court system made it fast and quick and saved me money in the long run. Yeah his hourly rate is exspensive but you genuinely get what you pay for with this office. I’d highly recommend to anyone and everyone. He doesn’t waste time with small talk either he’s there to get the job done and get out of your pocket. I’m super happy with his counsel and I think you will be too.

As a business owner they tell you that your CPA and Attorney are your best friends. While I'm still learning and growing everyday, this firm has quickly become my legal team. They've supported me through everything from drafting and enforcing Operating Agreements, to purchasing business/entities, navigating hostile partnerships, and providing legal defense in frivolous employment disagreements.
I would not be where I am today without the specific support from Paul Kloster and Chris Wilhelmi.
Chris helped me navigate a 2.5yr legal battle with a disgruntled former employee. The case concluded with the opposing counsel dropping the case, firing two associate attorneys, and paying their own legal expenses. In the end, I didn't pay a dime to anyone other than my own legal team.
Paul has supervised and counseled me on numerous entity acquisitions and business dealings. One example was where a partner turned hostile and was willing to drive a real estate acquisition into default. We were able to remove the partner and secure their shares well below market rate which allowed me to save the deal. I would not have been able to do any of this without Paul's guidance.
All of this to say, if you're a business owner looking for a firm that knows their stuff and is able to navigate everything you might face, these guys have been invaluable to me. While their fees are respectable, they have always kept their word, and at times waived menial expenses on my behalf. As a small business owner, I put my stamp on Paul, Chris, and this firm.

Katherine Reckman represented me in my divorce and she was very fair and steadfast through my proceedings. My ex husband chose very inept representative which derailed his case. In the end, he trusted Katherine to write up our agreement which he eventually signed. Divorce is ugly and stressful and in Colorado, you need someone who can negotiate with the other side to keep the cost down. Katherine did that and was able to do it with empathy. Highly recommended.

I found Terri when I was traumatized, alone and incredibly scared. She and her paralegal, Traci, held my hand through the process and helped me find a therapist, which ended up being a real life line for me. I'm a big believer now in the collaborative approach, and I ended up spending far less in litigation costs and got through the process quicker than anyone I know in similar circumstances. I can't tell you what a comfort it is to turn the intricacies of your life over to such a compassionate and competent, knowledgeable lawyer. It helped me keep my sanity and wits during the darkest time of my life. I'm on the other side now, and Terri and her firm played a big part in that.

I highly recommend this firm, and Terri Harrington, specifically. This was the best decision I made during a very overwhelming divorce process. I hired Terri the week before my scheduled mediation, as the previous lawyer dropped the ball significantly and I had to fire him. Terri and her team were incredibly communicative (for example, I have never had to wait longer than 24 hours for a reply), empathetic, knowledgeable, and quick. Terri caught up on my case in just a few days, and she made me and my case a priority by responding to emails swiftly, walking me through the process and what to expect, and being clear on what was needed from me, and what their role was. I just recently referred Terri and team to another person, and would do it again and again.

I would not recommend this lawyer for divorces where the husband has been cheating on the wife and the wife needs to defend herself against the husband. Mr. Deasy is a "daddy" lawyer perhaps because the issue draws too close to his past for him. He overcharged my daughter for his services and that of his associates and their performance before the court was miserable. Presents a good game but doesn't follow through.

Mr. Deasy and his staff provided outstanding counsel through an incredibly high conflict relocation case wherein my ex husband had petitioned to move with our three minor children out of state. Through a difficult and arduous trial process, he remained calm and confident despite the argumentative and bullying tactics of the other lawyer. Mr. Deasy was recommended to me by a friend who practices law in Connecticut, and the national recommendation was well and truly deserved. I would suggest him and his firm to anyone who is in need of a family law attorney - he is the best I've seen.

Dan Deasy is a tremendous lawyer. He took my case all the way to the courtroom (although we tried and tried to settle) and we could not have received a better outcome -- even in a tough family law case. I found Dan through a friend who is a Judge -- he told me Dan was the best courtroom lawyer he knew. That was absolutely true! The firm is so supportive through tough times. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team!

Heidi Whitaker has been a nightmare to work with. She kept stalling the case by submitting incorrect paperwork multiple times, charged me for her mistakes and overcharged for everything. It was hard to get a hold of her, yet I kept being billed, it was very stressful. I wish I had done better research, as there are similar complaints about her on her Colorado profiles. I filed a complaint against her with the Wyoming board and was rewarded a partial refund, but I still wasted over ten thousand dollars, in addition to the stress and delay of the whole case. Went to a different attorney who was very knowledgeable and absolutely amazing and wonderful to work with. Hopefully my review will guide you to a better attorney so you don't have to go through the stress I went through

During a treacherous high conflict custody battle, Heidi was an aggressive litigator with an eagle-eyed approach to dealing with an antagonistic opposing counsel. She was highly strategic and proficient in every aspect of the services she provided. My wife along with her counsel with the intent to gain leverage to remove my rights as an active father in my child's life filed for a Protective Order with the court with false claims against my character. As a result of Heidi's aggressive approach to litigation her expertise and services is what lead to my false allegations being dismissed. Heidi conducted herself at the highest level of transparency, professionalism and integrity from start to finish.
I highly recommend Heidi for any client faced with false allegations or struggling with a high-conflict custody issue. As a result, I know that I will be able to experience a healthy relationship with my son. Being a father is the highest priority in my life.

At first Torrey seemed like she was knowledgeable and great to work with. However shortly after she became very non-responsive and would blow off meetings after numerous, countless attempts. Please don’t waste your time and go with another practice.

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.

Jim Osborne helped me tremendously when I was Rio Blanco County Clerk & Recorder. False accusations and 2 lawsuits were filed by someone whose uncle had been recalled. Thanks to Attorney Osborne, we won both lawsuits. He was so easy to work with also. Just the attorney I needed.

I reached out to Karin for legal help in the middle of a difficult, complicated legal situation I had with my daughter and her father. My case had a some history to it that made representation somewhat daunting. Karin has a steadiness that allowed her to dive in and steer clear of the various details that could detract from a straightforward approach to my case. She held firm on the goal of the case and showed that she thoroughly cared about my position and the welfare of my daughter.
My case was bumped four times over the course of a year. This was painful and frustrating. It was comforting to have Karin there to help me remain patient and I never once felt like her support wavered.

I paid her a lot of money up front. Nothing was moving forward with my case. I had absolutely no progress and nothing was done. I stopped using her and she sent me another bill in the mail (thousands). I refused to pay because again, because nothing was done to help me. She sent it to a bill agency and I paid it and it is still showing I did not pay it (years later). So now I am trying to get her to take it off county records years later.
I am a low income single dad and I was taken to the cleaners.
All I wanted was to see my daughter more and I came out in debt with no progress.

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.
