I first hired Clyde in 2019 when I first filed for divorce. I subsequently withdrew the divorce proceeding. after my ex-wife talked me into it then I used him. I hired him again for the second divorce filing. Of which has been now completed and very very satisfactorily. he has Demonstrated the professionalism and the personal attention to detail that was desperately needed in my divorce case and then after the divorce was final. We did the trust agreements and and will and medical power of attorney and stuff that I needed done. He did those after that. I would use him again anytime I need a lawyer and highly recommend him.

Mark was referred to us for my husband divorce case and custody case, by Colin, our criminal defense attorney. This divorce and custody case was difficult for my husband to go through, and because a false allegations criminal charge, it made this case more complex. Mark did his absolute best, we believe, every step of the way. The ex wife made things an absolute nightmare for my husband, and watching him go through this was heart breaking. My husband and I didn’t make things easy for mark either as we were both addicted to heroin and meth at the time. Mark fought for my husband every step of the way until the absolute end, which involved not only the divorce and child custody part of this case, but several protection orders that were filed in different Colorado county’s by his ex wife. Mark made sure to squash those protection orders one by one, and did so with so much passion and care and knowledge and patience. Everyone involved had to have been at their wits end with everything going on. Thankfully, and luckily, during one of the protection order hearings, I believe that’s when, the ex wife said something’s on the stand that we couldn’t believe, and we were just shocked. Mark made note of these things, and was always in constant contact with our criminal Defense attorney Colin. We never had the chance to confirm our thoughts, but my husband and I fully believe that Mark played a substantial role in the criminal defense case being dismissed as requested by the prosecution! Unfortunately, as we were both addicted at the time this all was happening, the child custody case wasn’t a happy ending, mark would have stayed on with us but due to so many circumstances, one being a second arrest for drugs during the custody case, mark was unable to represent my husband any longer. We regret not getting sober sooner, because my husband would have had custody of his son. That is our fault, our choices. Mark stayed dedicated to the end, and I would recommend him to anyone that needs his services! He knows what he is doing, he stays in constant contact, and never brushed us off or made us feel like we were terrible people for what was going on. He cares about you like you’re his own family. From the very first week we spoke to him he gave my husband the best legal advice, and it made things go much better than if we had not spoken to him. My husband would have been forced out of his own house due to a protection order if we wouldn’t have spoken to mark and he hadn’t given us the advice that we desperately needed. I truly wish things had ended differently, and if Mark was in Colorado Springs right now, and he would allow for it lol, I would 100% be hiring him for custody issues that have risen over the past 4 years to do with my two kids, as well as my husbands ex wife contacting my kids dads. Hire mark! You will not regret it, he will fight for you, he will do his absolute best no matter the complexity of the case! We will forever be grateful for Mr. Chapleau and the mark he left on our lives. Our only regret is that we cannot say we are 5 years sober, this was a 2019 case, but by the grace of God we are 4 years. Thank you Mark, you have no idea the impact that you have had our Mike and Mine’s life. Do it, hire him. You won’t regret it.

If you don't go with this law group then you are mission out! Not only did they handle my case with grace, but they even went the extra mile when I had an emergency! I have a medically fragile and disabled child that is very hard to take out of the home. The day before my court appearance, all of my child care canceled for the day of court. I needed to file a motion in order to appear virtually instead but being the day before, and with my lack of court understandings, I was lost. I called this office since they were the ones who filed my paperwork with the court to ask for assistance. Of course the lawyer I used was out of office so I left a message. Within 10 minutes I received a call back from another attorney from this office and after I explained my situation, they said that they would have no problem filling out the motion for me and emailing to me! Not only that but they did this from their cell phone! All I asked for was advice, but this office was so understanding and the fact that they went the extra mile to help me was such a relief and an act of kindness and humanity that you don't normally see from people nowadays. From now on I will always use this firm for all of my needs!

Having no experience in this field at all, I was pretty terrified when I was shown to be at fault for a car accident. The entire team was excellent gave me a lot of information helped me to remain calm, and on the day of Katy in particular went way above and beyond the call of duty to help facilitate me reaching the courthouse on time. I was very impressed on every level with this operation. Oh, and they significantly reduced the amount of trouble I was going to get into! Well worth the retainer.

I cannot recommend Joe Morales and the team at Geigle Morales in Denver highly enough. At one of the scariest times in my life, Joe and his firm provided me with exceptional legal representation and unwavering support. Joe spearheaded my situation with precision and care. His dedication, expertise, and ability to navigate complex legal challenges turned a horrible situation into one I could overcome with confidence. If you or your company ever find yourself in need of legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend Geigle Morales. They are a team you can trust when it matters most.

I recently had the privilege of working with Jon Eric at The W Law during my divorce, and I cannot recommend him and his firm highly enough. From the beginning, Jon Eric made me feel protected during what was a very challenging and intimidating time in my life. My divorce was far from straightforward, but Jon Eric kept me informed every step of the way. He took the time to explain my options clearly and was always available when I found myself in moments of crisis. His support and guidance were invaluable, and I could not have navigated this process without him. I highly recommend him and his firm to anyone navigating their way through divorce.

While I understand others may have had positive experiences with Robinson & Henry, my own was deeply disappointing. I initially chose them based on positive reviews and an impressive attorney. I specifically addressed concerns about being passed between attorneys and becoming just a number after paying the retainer. The attorney assured me of consistent communication within two days and that she would remain my sole point of contact. My case was straightforward: securing court-ordered visitation with my son. Initially, communication was excellent, with prompt email responses. However, after paying the retainer, responsiveness drastically declined. When my son's mother cut off direct communication, requiring all contact through attorneys, I struggled to reach mine. After a week of silence, a paralegal dismissively stated she was "very busy." I also discovered the attorney had filed incorrect paperwork, effectively delaying my case. Adding to the frustration, the accounting department demanded I replenish my retainer without acknowledging my communication issues or case progress. Shortly after, I was informed, without prior notice or explanation, that a new attorney would be handling my case. I received no refund for the incorrect paperwork filed. The entire experience was a nightmare. I ultimately sought and found competent representation elsewhere. The only positive aspect was the Customer Relations Manager, who contacted me at the end. She was professional and helpful, earning a five-star rating. However, this single positive interaction couldn't salvage the overall negative experience with the firm.

There are many criticisms about attorneys, that aren't typically positive, that they're out for money and don't really care That was not my experience working with Griffith's Law. My case was extremely difficult and high conflict and lasted for several years. I started off with a different firm who I will keep unnamed but is one that likely pops up with a lot of stout advertising, a larger firm. Soon I realized I probably did not have the right representation. I found Griffith's Law. A smaller but mighty boutique firm that is family owned. Quickly it became evident that Suzanne and her team was the right firm for me in my case. This is where Anthony Zarsky and Cailin Degeorge were appointed as my representation, and I was fortunate they were. Anthony Zarsky gave me more than just representation. He was always honest with me even when it was hard to hear. He gave me a clear picture of what to expect which was not what I had been told previously. It wasn't that it was necessarily negative, it was just more realistic, more clear and defined and he gave a good explanation as to why. Whenever there was a choice for me to make, he spent the time explaining the pros and cons and risk's of each. He always guided me in what things to challenge and what to agree on, to prioritize the best outcome. Throughout the case he kept my head clear, gave me constructive feedback that helped change the way I think, and ultimately helped me be a better person. I think it's important that when we're in an emotional state that somebody gives you good advice and tells what I could be doing better to help myself. This allowed me to be more effective at parenting in an extremely high in conflict emotional circumstance. He gave me the perspectives to think through when co-parenting. Anthony was not just good for me and my case, but he was also better for our child - because he kept that as the focus. There were many times that I wanted to give up, but Anthony was my support and kept me going. He truly became a person to me not just a hired attorney, like a family member. He would often check in on me to make sure I was doing okay, would always check in on my feelings, give encouragement. He's a good person and it's evident he's not just a good attorney, he is passionate about his work which makes him even better. We need to be honest with ourselves, when going through a divorce it's extremely emotional and we're not always thinking the best, it's easy to get fixated on the wrong things. He always treated opposing council and party with respect even when it was not reciprocated, in fact he was often disrespected. Always remained professional. Anthony uses a strategic approach rather than being blunt and aggressive. This is not to say he's not capable of being aggressive, but he is more surgical. His approach proved to me he was ethical, honest and made every effort to save money when possible. But most importantly he put our child ahead of all else. Nobody ever wins in a high conflict case. But I am certain if I did not have Anthony the outcome would have been much different. I am so grateful that I ultimately ended up with Anthony at Griffith's Law. It was impressive to realize that when Anthony was not available things were never delayed or left unattended until he returned. It was amazing to see even senior partners getting involved in my case to cover in his absence. The entire staff and everybody involved with this firm are quality people who genuinely care. I have all the confidence that if you choose Griffith's Law you will be happy that you did, your livelihood is what's on the line if you choose wrong. I couldn't imagine myself recommending any other firm.

I couldn't be happier with outcome. Suzanne and Chris were extremely prepared and truly understands the law. I highly recommend Griffiths Law if anyone is looking for a top-notch team.

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

I cant say thank you enough. Ehren was a savior when my sons was acused of starting a fight on a Platte Canyon School bus. I know that doesn't mean much but when he is getting ready to turn 18 it's a huge deal. Ehren looked at the evidence where a public defender would rather just get it over and not care that this could hurt this young man's future. Let me tell you a little more about this for context. My sons have been bullied at Platte Canyon for years that's how this school operates they have been attacked physically and mentally. The school has time and again turned a blind eye saying no evidence even though their are videos. This young man my son was arguing with was part of the same gang as they call themselves was telling my older son how his brother should be killed over and over. We'll my older son had enough of the crap and yes he stood up and went to speak to the other teen and girl who has verbally harrassed them daily to and from school. When my son went to speak with the other teen the agreeser stood up and was chest bumping my son. At this point the younger son who was the son who was the target of the verbal attack seeing his brother getting chest bumped tried to pull the aggressor off and then a fight between the younger son occurred even though the aggressor started it and threw punches first my sons were both charged. Ehren looked at the video and actually challenged what was being stated. So as of today one sons case has been dropped the other that the public defender is assigned has hardly even communicated with us so if you want a lawyer who actually cares Ehren is your man.

I would give Ehren 6 out of 5 stars if I could. He knows his stuff, is professional, and is very familiar with the court system in Park Co and surrounding areas. He was reassuring to work with, walked through what I could do in advance to mitigate my violation, and what to expect in court. He then represented me in person while I was able to remote in. His cost was reasonable, especially when compared to flying back out to Colorado, renting a car and booking hotels, etc. Everyone makes mistakes on the road at some point, and Ehren was a solid advocate - he has my respect for how he represented my case. Thanks Ehren!

J.B. Katz is such an amazing lawyer and person. She gave me a lot of excellent and intelligent law advice that came from a place of genuinely caring about my situation; rather than other lawyers who just want to get hired. She also shared with me some fantastic life advice/anecdotes and conversation about what I was going through. She cared about me as a person first. She wanted to help in any way she could! As far as I'm concerned, an incredibly good person who's in this for the right reasons. Super smart, knows more than most, very attentive, very sweet. Thank you J.B.!

While I understand others may have had positive experiences with Robinson & Henry, my own was deeply disappointing. I initially chose them based on positive reviews and an impressive attorney. I specifically addressed concerns about being passed between attorneys and becoming just a number after paying the retainer. The attorney assured me of consistent communication within two days and that she would remain my sole point of contact. My case was straightforward: securing court-ordered visitation with my son. Initially, communication was excellent, with prompt email responses. However, after paying the retainer, responsiveness drastically declined. When my son's mother cut off direct communication, requiring all contact through attorneys, I struggled to reach mine. After a week of silence, a paralegal dismissively stated she was "very busy." I also discovered the attorney had filed incorrect paperwork, effectively delaying my case. Adding to the frustration, the accounting department demanded I replenish my retainer without acknowledging my communication issues or case progress. Shortly after, I was informed, without prior notice or explanation, that a new attorney would be handling my case. I received no refund for the incorrect paperwork filed. The entire experience was a nightmare. I ultimately sought and found competent representation elsewhere. The only positive aspect was the Customer Relations Manager, who contacted me at the end. She was professional and helpful, earning a five-star rating. However, this single positive interaction couldn't salvage the overall negative experience with the firm.

We never felt bad about asking questions or seeking clarity. The best part is we were able to obtain the green card in only 10 weeks!!

Working with Mr. Katz as my husband's lawyer during a challenging and emotionally charged family matter case was an experience I won’t forget. His reputation in the Denver and Boulder courts speaks volumes—before he even entered the room, we could feel the respect and attention he commanded from the court officials. This immediately gave us a sense of confidence and trust in the process. What truly stood out, though, was his exceptional accessibility. Mr. Katz always answered his own phone and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns, typically getting back to us the same day. His professionalism and dedication to his clients were evident throughout the entire case. Mr. Katz's combination of expertise, his reputation, and his commitment to our case made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer who not only knows the law but also has the respect of the legal community. Thank you, Mr. Katz, for your hard work and guidance during such a difficult time!

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.

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.
