My non profit record label and publishing company needed a custom contract unique to our purposes. I had a hard time finding anyone with the expertise to integrate our out-of-the-box copyright and royalty needs into a formal legal contract that we could use with our artists. At first we consulted with another lawyer who was able to provide a more standard contract, but we found that we needed something different, more tailored to current artist's needs. Caroline listened to our mission and worked with us, providing something that resonates with artists while making sure our organization has what we need to do business. She was patient, thorough, clear, and kind. I'd highly recommend her to anyone - especially an artist - looking for legal work.

We recently worked with Colton Craft at Davis Schilken to put together Wills and a Family Trust for my husband and I, along with the necessary healthcare and power of attorney documents. Colton was patient, detailed, professional, and efficient. We asked MANY questions, as did he, and feel like we came away with the right decisions. Our final binder was impressive and comprehensive. Everything was well explained, and Colton could not have been more pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Colton Craft if you are looking to make this long process very easy.

Sean McQuaid and Jason Dycus have been fantastic throughout this entire process. I’m more than thrilled with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Denver Personal Injury Lawyers to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney. Even though I’m based in New York, and there was a time zone difference, they still provided me with exceptional support and answered all of my questions. Thank you so much for everything!

T.J. was recommended to me and does not usually take cases like mine. But he did and I have been fortunate to have been working with him for nearly two years. T.J. was all about a solution, and advised me in ways that have informed my decisions for the future. He not only helped me with the two situations I needed legal help with, but has likely helped me avoid needing legal help in certain ways in the future.

Our family has had several occasions to use the services of David Kirch and Emily Bowman. Mr. Kirch created wills for our blended family that solved the somewhat complicated issues of “yours, mine and ours.” Ms. Bowman updated my late mother’s will. When my mother died (at 102) she was confident that her estate would be handled as she wished. Ms. Bowman handled all details, especially things with the court system that could have been time consuming and confusing. We highly recommend this law firm for wills, trusts and estate planning.

Michael Zywicki: The Attorney You Can Trust With Your Life, A True Genius in Law, and a Fearless Advocate! I have worked with many professionals across various fields, but never in my life have I encountered someone as extraordinary as Michael Zywicki. To call him a genius in law feels like an understatement. From the moment he came on board, it became abundantly clear that this is someone operating at the highest level of legal expertise, combined with a compassion and dedication that are simply unmatched. Mike has a remarkable ability to break down even the most complex legal issues into understandable terms, making the entire process feel approachable and manageable. Patient beyond belief, he never made me feel rushed or insignificant, no matter how many questions I had or how complicated my concerns were. Every response was prompt, thorough, and reassuring, reflecting a depth of knowledge and experience that is truly rare. Mike is a force to be reckoned with in and out of the courtroom, he is relentless—an advocate and protector with an unparalleled drive to win. Whether it’s crafting a flawless legal strategy or passionately presenting the case before a judge, Mike embodies the word unstoppable. When you have him on your side, you know you have someone who will go to the mat for you, fight tooth and nail, and leave no stone unturned to achieve victory. What’s more, his extraordinary skill and determination come with a level of integrity and fairness that is almost unheard of. The pricing was reasonable, especially compared to other law firms, that I was honestly shocked by the value of the services I received. I expected to pay significantly more for the kind of dedication, brilliance, and results he delivered—but his commitment to accessibility and client care blows me away. I can say without hesitation that I would trust Michael Zywicki with my life. After working with him, I will never look to another attorney. Michael Zywicki is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate, a protector, a warrior, and a friend who will fight tirelessly to ensure justice prevails. Michael Zywicki is without question the best there ever was. Fierce, brilliant, compassionate, and unstoppable, he is the gold standard of legal excellence. I will forever be grateful for the life-changing services I receive!

In a business often filled with deception and dishonesty, working with Michael was truly a breath of fresh air. From our very first conversation, Michael put us at ease with his knowledge and genuine approach. His honesty was evident in every interaction, and we never felt pressured or misled. Unlike many professionals in the legal industry who seem more focused on making money than serving their clients, Michael's integrity shone through, making us feel like we were in safe, trustworthy hands. Beyond his transparency, Michael’s depth of legal knowledge was clear. He guided us through complex legal matters with ease, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand, helping us navigate challenges we would have struggled with on our own. What truly sets Michael apart is his empathy. Rather than just treating us like another case, he approached every interaction with care and compassion. It was clear that he was invested in not just the legal outcome but in our peace of mind. His ability to balance professionalism with a personal touch made all the difference, providing reassurance when we needed it most. This level of personal care is rare, and it’s what makes Michael stand out in a crowded and often ruthless industry. In short, if you’re looking for a lawyer who combines honesty, intelligence, expertise, and true empathy, we wholeheartedly recommend Michael. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s someone you can truly trust and will be our family lawyer for life!

If you're currently reading this review in search of a lawyer, find yourself in comfort and ease and look no further. Because this man right here is hands down the most incredible, patient, knowledgeable, caring and Apex lawyer out there. Mike has been the glue that bonded our family closer together. I mean seriously without him and how hard he fights for his clients I wouldn't have my daughter today. In the past year that Mike has spent with me, He has listened to not just me but also my family and everyone of our frustrations, and laid any fear, panic or disturbance to rest. Mike has a strategic mind that will truly blow you away. He's incredibly honest and never tells you something he won't follow through with. He's a very easy person to talk to and I've spent so much time talking with him and about so many nessesary details of my case where he has financially helped me without nickle and dimeing me. hes genuinely a caring and compassionate person and fights for what he believes in and what you believe in. If Mike was on the food chain in a tank full of lawyers that were all "sharks", he would be the creature that would slowly approach and respectively everyone of those sharks would clear his way in fear of the Alpha. trusting him with this case for my daughter was by far the greatest choice I've ever made. Something so delicate and in need of attention and with accurate precision Mike handled my case flawlessly. His communication and Dedication to my every need, thought and feeling, Everything has been attended to. This man gave me the opportunity to show the world the father I can and will forever be. He fought for my rights and my family. How can I ever find words that could truly express how grateful I eternally feel. My God honest answer is trust this man with everything and do exactly what he tells you to do or advises you to do and you'll come out on top. Mike's isn't just a lawyer but a close friend who just so happens to know the law and is willing to use everything in his power to ensure success for your favorable outcome. Mike's humor is the perfect addition to every family and he's that guy that you get excited to talk to and talk about. Like yup that's my lawyer 😎 He went waaaaaaaaaay above and beyond countless times to help me resource and find facilities, contacted people and helped get things setup and made my life easy and breathable. Mike is the answered prayer from God, coming from that feeling when you're lost at sea and feel like your drowning. Mike is that guy that brings a row boat to rescue and says wait. Till you see the boat your about to be on as he rows you back to safety, letting you rest while he does all the hard work. My sister recommended Mike in my custody case because she had previously hired him for a case regarding her daughter years ago. Because of Mike and how hard he fights, I mean with every finite detail this guy is willing to examine and find specific law in, he helped my sister gain full custody of her daughter and split custody with mine. The little girl that Mike fought for years ago, now gets to babysit her cousin in which he also helped create that possibility for. Our family gets to be a family because of him. Mike Zywicki thank you for fighting for me and my opportunity to be a father. Thank you for fighting for my niece and for my sister to be her mother. Without you, we wouldn't be the family we are today. If every person had a heart like you, the world would be a much better place.

Because of Mike and how hard he fights, I mean with every finite detail this guy is willing to examine and find specific law in, he helped my sister gain full custody of her daughter and split custody with mine. The little girl that Mike fought for years ago, now gets to babysit her cousin in which he also helped create that possibility for. Our family gets to be a family because of him. Mike Zywicki thank you for fighting for me and my opportunity to be a father. Thank you for fighting for my niece and for my sister to be her mother. Without you, we wouldn't be the family we are today. If every person had a heart like you, the world would be a much better place.

I hired Mr. Ryan Peterson in November 2022 for an alleged DUI offense that took place in Adams county courts here in Colorado. Mr. Peterson and I took the case all the way to try and won a NOT Guilty verdict with the Jury. Ryan is easy to work with and was definitely worth the free consultation and hiring! Now I’m able to move on and able to keep my license and life going. So thankful! I highly recommend Mr. Petersons services!

We can't say thank you enough to Clark Dray and his team. They are professional and to the point. There is no guessing as to what is needed and by when. Each step was explained in detail. It is a lot of work to get everything together, but my husband and I really understood why it was necessary. We could really see Clark's level of professionalism from that of other attorneys who were involved in the 341 meeting with their clients. Our portion of the meeting was quick, to the point, and over before we knew it, and we could tell the Trustee appreciated this. We would HIGHLY recommend Clark Dray to everyone going through a rough financial situation.

Elizabeth Howard's firm was our guiding light when our brother became terminally ill in a hospital in Colorado. Since my sister and I were both living in two different states, we had limited time to spend with him in CO. My brother did not have a will of any kind and we sadly had to return to our home states without his getting one completed. From Ohio, I blindly chose an attorney in the Denver area from a long list and called Elizabeth for help. She went to see my brother in the hospital that day and found him willing and able in completing a will the very next day! After our brother passed away, she worked with us throughout the probate process and her patience, kindness and efficiency proved to be outstanding.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You

A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.

Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:

  • Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
  • Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
  • Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
  • Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
  • Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.

What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?

A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:

  • Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
  • Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
  • Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
  • Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
  • Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
  • Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.

Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.

How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?

Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:

  • Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
  • Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
  • Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
  • Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.

The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.

How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:

  • The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
  • Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
  • Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
  • Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.

It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.

Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer

Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases.
  5. How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
    Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy.
  6. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.

How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer

To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
  • Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
  • Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
  • Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:

  • A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
  • Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
  • A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
  • Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
  • Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.

By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
