It has been my experience that the best attorneys are those who can demonstrate some key skillsets: Patiently asking key questions to understand the issues at hand; taking the time to do "dig deep" research, the ability to think-on-your-feet while connecting the legal dots, and communicating with the client frequently and in a timely manner. Conor possesses and practices these skillsets with ease, which has led to equitable resolutions for all parties on either side of the table. His business acumen, combined with his extensive military experience, are reflected in his legal expertise as well as his approach in dealing with business conflicts of all types. His positive attitude and friendly demeanor makes him very easy to work with.

I highly recommend Conor O’Brien at Ragab Law Firm. His attention to detail, professionalism and commitment to achieving the best outcomes make him stand out as a top attorney. Conor confidently leads his team, ensuring that every case is approached with diligence and a client focused mindset. It is also clear that his experience as a military veteran has shaped his ability to handle complex legal matters with precision and integrity. If you are looking for an attorney with expertise and dedication, Conor is the person to trust!

I had a couple of quit claim deeds that needed to be prepared and I’m glad I had a professional do the job. Kaitlyn Davis went the extra mile to make sure they were exactly how I needed them and was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process.

I hired Spencer Kotnik to represent me in a disability lawsuit. Unfortunately, my experience with him was extremely negative. He seemed uninterested in my case and spent significant time rambling during our meetings. Despite multiple requests, he failed to improve his communication skills, which was particularly frustrating given my own disability. I no longer trusted Spencer or his firm, so I consulted with another Denver lawyer who took the time to review everything exchanged during the process. She encouraged me to ask Spencer specific questions, which he ignored until two days before my deadline. She agreed that he missed a few key points, was all over the place, and " his communication is not his strong point". Working with Spencer and his team left me stranded, frustrated, and unheard. I would not recommend their services to anyone, especially anyone with a disability.

I am very satisfied with the services I received from this firm. Everyone involved with my case was efficient, kind and knowledgeable. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a divorce attorney, I highly recommend this team. My divorce was complete in about 6 months from start to finish and I’m actually receiving a refund from my initial retainer.

Eric Steele and Arckey & Associates saved my but! They were hard hitting where it counts and did not let an unruly business owner get away with breaking the law.

I had an excellent experience with the Law Office of Nicholas J. Vail, PLLC. I was referred to Nick through colleagues for assistance with creating an operating agreement and understanding the nuances of business ownership types and decision-making processes between business partners. Nick was exceptionally responsive, thoroughly addressing all my questions and providing clear explanations of how to structure my business. He also offered valuable advice on finding a registered agent and detailed the necessary steps for filing. Nick's professionalism and expertise made the entire process smooth and informative. I highly recommend his services for anyone in need of business legal guidance.

In the extreme, sub-zero temperatures of January, my building lost heat, water, & was declared uninhabitable. My insurance company left me homeless, delaying coverage for shelter, food, and water for weeks- despite an approved catastrophe claim.
If it weren't for Dan Sloane at the Denver Trial Lawyers, I'm not sure how my story would've ended. His knowledge, advocacy, & humanity are the reason I have somewhere safe to sleep tonight.
There aren't words that could adequately express the enormity of his ethics & strength in practice, nor their impact on my life through this grave situation.
If you've ever had the fortune of being represented by the Denver Trial Lawyers, you'll understand my speechlessness. If you haven't yet had that fortune, I hope one day, should you need it, you have the opportunity to be represented by his firm.

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

We hired Lester Nieves to represent a very complex criminal case. I completely trust him to represent who we hired him for. He definitely knows the law and your rights . I would recommend him above any other attorney including the ones that are way too high priced for our budget. Lester's fee to retain and represent are more than fair. Out of all the attorneys I've spoken with we picked him and I have absolutely no regrets at all Thank you so much Lester!!!!

Thank you both to Attorney Conor Stewartson and Paralegal Diane Barrera at Colorado Legal Defense Group for representing our daughter in her criminal defense case.
My husband and I spoke to several Attorney firms to help us and after speaking with Diane and the Intake Attorney Cole Presnell, we decided to go with their firm. I can honestly say that Diane was key in helping us make the decision to use their firm. She was very understanding and genuinely cared, being a mother herself. She was available early on and even followed up to make sure we landed safely in CO that same evening to be there for our daughter.
Conor was assigned to our case and I was advised although he was new with the firm he had an extensive background as a Criminal defense Attorney. Initially, I was concerned w/him being new to the firm but after speaking with him, doing a background check and reading up on him, he put those concerns to rest.
There were times it was difficult to get a hold of Conor but my understanding was his contact phone was still being setup at the time, since he was new w/the firm. But he did return my call when I really needed him over the weekend on a late evening. Also, Diane was always available even on weekends (not normal or expected) and kept the communication going if Conor was not available due to being in court or working w/another client.
Ultimately, the outcome of our case was in our daughter's favor and it was completely dismissed all due to the hard work of both Conor and Diane. Their skill set and ability to do what they do, fighting on our daughter's behalf produced the best outcome possible and we are so thankful to them both!
The billing process early on was easy and in speaking w/Diane that was not even a concern at the time with what was going on. Which truly shows the caliber of the firm and their people as a whole of who they are and what they are about.
We are thankful to both Conor and Diane and are truly blessed to have been represented by them, but as I mentioned to Diane, we pray we never need their services again! But would definitely recommend them and the firm if we ever needed legal help.

I worked with Chloe and she handled my entire case, from start to finish, with complete confidence and attention to detail. She saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in a variety of different actions. I am grateful for her understanding and support. I do think it matters which attorney you get assigned to, but I will just leave it at that. Ask for Chloe if she’s available. She was exemplary and always left me feeling like my case was the number one priority.

I was in a real pickle. I was hit by a drunk driver, acquired a life changing traumatic brain injury from the accident. I lost my high salary job and the ability to get back to any form of work. Although my husband is successful, he couldn’t afford to absorb all of my personal debt and obligations in addition to his own monthly obligations. We were trying to sell things, including our beloved vintage car, to cover the gap of my lost salary and we’re just not able to make things work. It was devastating.
My personal injury attorney handling my car accident case referred me to Berken and Cloyes, having heard tremendous things about them. So, I called and Stephen met with me right away. It turned out that my bankruptcy case was not a simple one, but Stephen and Sean took me on anyway using all of their expertise to get me into a better life situation. They were both down to earth, they were real people, they didn’t beat around the bush and they didn’t play any games. They gave me great advice and got me prepared. They did all the heavy lifting and it took very little time on my part for this whole process to go through.
They were flexible with the payments and took care of all of the nuances of the case for me. They helped me out of one of the most difficult experiences of my life and I am so thankful.
I highly recommend Berken and Cloyes!

Mr. Cornell Johnson exceeded my expectations as a personal injury attorney. Cornell was always available to answer any questions I had about my motor vehicle accident - responding promptly to all phone calls and written communications. He carefully laid out the various options and strategies that he thought would be most productive and helped me to come to a much better understanding of what I could expect in terms of obstacles, time frame, and what I could expect from him. Cornell carried his vast legal knowledge and expertise with humility and also with confidence. I felt he truly cared for my well-being as I was healing from my injuries. I cannot recommend Cornell highly enough - he was a blessing to me and my family during such a difficult time.

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

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

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

I called seeking advice on an auto fraud case and Patrick picked up the phone late on a Friday afternoon. While I never retained him, he was extremely generous with his time, knowing how valuable it is. He gave me sound advice and referred me to two attorneys in the area he felt would be more suitable for the case. What a nice gesture, knowing he had nothing to gain from me… I live in South Carolina. Thank you Patrick, the least I can do to repay you is let your community know that you’re a standup guy!

I began working with Brad and and the Bell and Pollock team shortly after my family was involved in a head-on car accident. After interviewing other firms and significant research, we are glad we chose his firm. From the moment we began working together, the firm took exceptional care for mine and my family's cases. Brad guided us through the entire process and I could not be more grateful for the time and effort his whole office provided. I would highly recommend Bell and Pollock to anyone in need of exceptional legal care.

I was having some concerns and needed a consultation and information from a lawyer and wanted a good law firm that is more personal and not passing me along to whomever could squeeze me in. Bell and Pollock was a great choice for me based on their knowledge and expertise in the areas of law I needed to discuss. Gary Bell was very instrumental in providing me with detailed information that was beneficial for what I was looking for. I value ethics and this law firm made me feel heard. Gary took time to not just meet with me but had me send over my concerns and he spent time going over my information before the consultation so that he was able to be very specific to me and my concerns and spoke in a way that made sense and not just ‘legal speak’. The fact that Gary and his firm take consultations seriously and are so open to truly helping clients is amazing in this day and age! Everyone I spoke to there was so helpful and professional. It is a welcome change to know you can find a trusted law firm. If I ever need representation, I would definitely choose him and his law firm to represent me.

For example, I took all my court documents to Mexico thinking I was having a virtual hearing when it was canceled. I had a good case, but hardly got anything back. He didn’t listen to me or what I wanted from the case. Terrible experience. Not very knowledgeable on work comp stuff.

Over the last 10 years I've dealt with roughly two dozen different attorneys across the US with specialties in employment, real estate, family law, and general business contract law from tier 1 firms to leading local firms and solo small firm practices. Tony Viorst is without a doubt in the top 1 or 2 out of the ~24 lawyers that I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. His rare combination of legal expertise, wisdom, bulldog personality, and most importantly ethics are a lethal mix that set him apart. I would recommend Tony to anyone who needs representation from a highly competent litigator in any of his specialty practice areas and beyond. Thanks again, Tony!

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.

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.

- 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.

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.
