Jason is great. There won't be a minute where you don't feel confident while you are in court. He was my defense attorney and there isn't a day that goes by where I feel sad about hiring him. No regrets.

I had the opportunity to speak with Jason yesterday. What a breath of fresh air he was! Nobody really wants to speak to an attorney, but this guy was different. Very knowledgeable and professional. No stone was unturned and very diligent. I could not speak more highly of him.

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

James represented me in a recent criminal case. I would highly recommend his services. From the beginning, he was thorough, punctual and convincing. He explained the process thoroughly and answered all of my questions in great detail. Most importantly, James gave me the confidence and determination that we would resolve my case. With persistence, determination, grace, and some humor, my case was dismissed. I would highly recommend James. He is so professional and cared about my well being beyond the case itself. Highly recommend. Thank you James.

James was the very best legal representation I could have in my case. He is the epitome of professionalism, trustworthiness, kindness, and understanding. I always felt he had my back and he did. He knows what he is doing. I am so grateful to him and highly, highly recommend him.

Being accused of a crime you didn't commit is a crazy and stressful thing to go through. From the very first consult until the conclusion of the case, James was absolutely amazing to work with. He was passionate and professional and got results through his complete expertise as an attorney. Don't hesitate to hire him.

Justin was wonderful to work with from the initial consultation through the end of our child custody battle. Not only was Justin incredibly easy to work with, he was always genuine and hard working throughout our case. My husband and I had a very complex child custody case, and Justin was able to work through all the layers and issues while getting us the best case scenario when it came to court time. He will always lead the conversation with honesty and his experience of the law while giving you all the options and how to approach the issues at hand. I couldn't recommend someone more than him, and I hope if you ever find yourself in a difficult family law situation, he is one of the first calls you make.

Mr. Jaeger helped me navigate through a very difficult time in my life. He provided outstanding legal counsel and understood where what my goals were. He was patient and thorough and made sure I understood all my options while steering me to the best legal options. He also listened to me and helped me reach objectives that were important to me. I would not hesitate to hire him again because I know from very personal experience that he values his clients and seeks the best for them in every area. You will not be disappointed in working with him.

I can't say enough to express how amazing Justin is. 5 stars doesn't even come close to what I think he deserves. I have been involved in an extremely hostile custody situation for a year and half. My ex has turned everything he possibly could in to an all out assault against me, my family, my friends and my other children to the detriment of our child. Justin has been compassionate, kind, hard working and extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of my extremely difficult case. He is fair, honest and treats all parties involved with decency and respect. Justin has and continues to go above and beyond every expectation I ever have. He listens to me and works hard to ensure the best possible outcome for my child. Justin took the time to really get to know me, the situation and every aspect of the case front to back. His approach to handling these cases is what all other attorneys should strive to accomplish. I am so very thankful to Justin and the rest of the staff (they all are fantastic!) for all they have done and continue to do for my family. All you'll need is a few minutes of an initial consultation with him to see just how much better he is than any other attorney out there. Thank you Justin. You've been a life saver...literally and figuratively!

I hired Mr. Maggard to do my case when I was facing a custody matter. The matter became complicated at we had to go to a hearing in the case. Mr. Maggard was aggressive and knowledgeable in the courtroom. He knows the law inside and out and was able to get me everything in my case that I wanted. I would highly recommend Mr. Maggard as an attorney.

Attorney Wiley helped me through my child custody case. She was with me every step of the way, and even corrected me if I was in the wrong. She was very prompt in communicating, organized, and no nonsense. If you are looking for a great attorney, she is the person you should hire!

Tara is one of the most professional people I have had a chance to work with. Her ability to solve problems and navigate different situations is absolutely incredible. From the very beginning I was treated with respect and felt like I was the only priority. Her skills to calming any situation are one of a kind and not just calming the situation but calming you as well. You’re treated like a human going through a difficult time. She shows compassion and empathy all while getting everything done that needs to be done! I will refer her over and over again! You will not be disappointed!

I hired Mariah partially because of the good reviews here. I would however caution against others doing the same. My case was very simple and she intentionally dragged things into long expensive war with my ex. She constantly battled my exes lawyer on things that didn't matter and ignored the only things I said were important. I think she ended up on the losing side of every exchange she had with my exes more experienced lawyer. She took what should have been an easy case and made it difficult and expensive and did irreparable damage to my relationship with my ex whom I am trying to remain civil with. Maybe it's simply the norm for lawyers in this field to care more about their own interests than the families that hire them but I feel like entrusting her with my case was a mistake.

Choosing the right legal representation is one of the most crucial decisions I've had to make. There is no room for trial and error because these situations will often be once in a lifetime. I needed someone that I could trust, attentive, and meticulous. I needed someone that would brilliantly and relentlessly pursue justice. I needed Mariah Dylla. She went to battle for me day in and day out for two years. It was never "another day in the office" with her. She was passionate about the outcome as I was. She was the help I needed when I needed it the most. She and her Dylla team including Rebecca Herrera (providing email after email, kept me informed, calls and text of details, reminders, and worked their butt off for me) treated me like family. If you need an advocate for children, someone who is transparent, and who will do their best Ms. Dylla is the one to pick. Thank you for everything.

I don't think this is where Mr. Ramunda shines. I ended up worse than if I had not had an attorney at all. I'm not talking about money that I had to pay I'm talking about custody of my child. He didn't listen to what I was saying and ended up just giving my ex whatever she wanted. He didn't provide sound advice and the judge did not listen to anything that we had to say.

Mr. Ramunda provides outstanding legal counsel and brings a zest to his profession. His dedication and determination resulted in my acquittal from a 2014 civil case. I would recommend his representation to any person in the Denver area.
Due to the nature of the civil charges I required a world class professional to clear my name. The civil charges were unfounded and unwarranted, nonetheless, I had much riding on the result. The civil claim triggered a criminal charge which had my eighteen-year military career hanging in the balance of the court system.
Fortunately, Mr. Ramunda's expertise and commitment to excellence saw the civil case brought against me denied and the DA dropped their pending case.

I retained this firm for a family law case. The attorneys assigned to me at Susan Fuller's firm in November 2017 were desperately trying to come up with a deal. At the end they said that the opposing attorney said I had breached a contract and that she wasn't saying what that was and if I can think of anything wrong I did. I couldn't think of anything but mentioned that I had medical staff explain something to my ex-husband instead of explaining it myself. My own attorney said you shouldn't have done that and forced me to take a deal that was unfair and wrong for me and still pay consequences for this. I went back a year later for a free consultation bc I was having further issues due to this deal. It was supposed to be a 1 hour consultation, the lady was 45 minutes late, she said she couldn't give me any info bc she didn't have my chart in front of her and said it'd cost me $5k to retain her. I was out the door about 5 minutes before my consultation was over because she had a meeting she had to get to on time which shows how important I am to them. Susan Fuller may be great, but I had an awful experience with the staff at this firm.

From the first moment I met Susan I knew she was force to be reckoned with. I sincerely appreciated that she would always explain the best and worst case scenarios throughout the entire process of my divorce. She would advise from a place of integrity and experience and was always right in her hypothesis of very complicated situations. I was never a billable hour, she knew me by name as did the entire team. I highly recommend her and any of her associates!

Their client attentiveness and support, team effort philosophy and brilliant attorneys ensures the client of the effort being put forth. Their strong trial experience resulted in a positive outcome for my case. I HIGHLY recommend the Susan Fuller Law Firm... an amazing group of attorneys and the nicest people you will ever meet!

He charges less than most of the divorce lawyers out there, keeping the quality of his services higher than his competition.
I totally recommend Mr. Palmer to anyone who needs affordable and high-quality help with their divorce matters!

Michael Palmer came highly recommended to me by a very well- respected lawyer in Grand County, where I live and filed. His name is Frank Parker. Frank spoked very eloquently about Mr. Palmer. Frank Parker has also recommended countless clients to Mr. Palmer with great satisfaction and successful results.
Mr. Palmer provided a complimentary zoom session with me for a consultation, he was very patient with his time and answered all my questions thoughtfully, and he was very thorough! What I like most about Mr. Palmer is how patient and compassionate he is. Because I have never engaged a lawyer, the task felt very daunting. After the consultation, I decided to hire Mr. Palmer and Palmer Family Law.
Throughout the whole process, he never lost sight of my needs, and always give me "sound advice"! I highly recommend Michael Palmer and Palmer family Law!

Ashleigh did an amazing job representing me in my family law case. She was on top of my case and worked with me so well. She is one of the best attorneys. She crushed it in my custody modification hearing. She was poised, confident and perfectly argued my case. Maybe it was an easy case maybe she made it look easy. Great job on the outcome that was the best for everyone involved!

The attorneys may be great but the intake department is unprofessional. How is the attorney supposed to make an informed decision on my case when I'm cut off explaining my case and she wanted to give the attorneys ¼ of the story and expect them to make a decision based off that. Find another place that your not a number.

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.
