Working with Liz Hart and Mel Valle has been an exceptional experience. I was initially intimidated by the idea of hiring legal representation, but Liz put me at ease from our very first meeting. She took the time to thoroughly explain all possible scenarios and options, answering every question I had. Thanks to her guidance, I felt prepared and confident moving forward.
Throughout the entire process, Liz and Mel kept me informed and addressed any additional concerns I had, never making me feel like a burden. In addition to their in depth legal expertise, they handled all the paperwork and administrative tasks, which was a huge relief and allowed me to focus on recovering from my injuries without added stress. Their dedication and expertise were crucial to achieving a successful outcome.
I am incredibly grateful for the recommendation to work with Liz and Mel, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation. Their commitment to fighting for their clients and their genuine care make them outstanding advocates.

I highly recommend Mr. Kane and this law firm. He is very kind and took the time to discuss my case with me, even though he was not able to help since he doesn't do that kind of work. He recommended another lawyer for me though. If your hurt and need a lawyer call him!

I recently worked with Ethan McQuinn on my case after a semi-truck hauling a gravel trailer rear-ended my car while I was stopped at a red light. Ethan was very professional and brought a wealth of experience in dealing with a commercial insurance carrier. Ethan secured a settlement that allows me to recover from my injuries, while avoiding extended litigation. Sabrina Robinson, his paralegal, is also excellent, organized and stays on top of details. Thank you, Ethan and Sabrina!

One fact that people should realize about internet reviews is that they are not always accurate, can be misleading and unfairly critical, especially the negative ones. In family law, cases can be challenging and complex. As a client of Jim Keil for an extended period of time involving a contentious and complex case I hope my perspective of Jim Keil as an attorney may be helpful for others.
As a client you need an attorney with attributes of integrity and honesty, as well as an individual that is hard working, well prepared, and extremely knowledgeable of the law. As my attorney, I have found Jim Keil to be all of those things and more. Jim’s understanding to the approach to your legal case is derived by his wealth of experience and brilliant understanding of the law. All of these important factors in my case have been demonstrated especially during trial.
The best analogy of Jim Keil I can give as an attorney relates to college football. Jim is the Alabama Crimson Tide of family law. His success to win a case is not by taking for granted his talent or being complacent by previous wins. His success is achieved by all the hard work and preparation he puts forth toward each case. An opposing counsel would have to bring their “A” game each and every time if they wish to compete with Jim Keil.

Jim Keil has been in this business a long time and knows his stuff. My divorce case was contentious and my wife had very aggressive lawyers. I am a successful professional and an easy target. Jim knows when where to push in negotiations and saved my financial future from vicious attacks! Jim also cares about his billing habits. Some firms are interested in billing as many hours as they can. Jim is careful and prudent with his billing. I would wager that my total attorney cost was half what some other firms would charge. I was referred to Jim through friends and am glad I took their advice. One friend said, "When it comes to divorce, you have to pay for the best and forget the rest!" I'm glad I listened.

Jim has been representing me since January 2013, after I began my divorce
case with two attorneys who were ill-equipped to handle an ex-husband like
mine. He stepped in and quickly took control of a very complicated divorce.
In his 31 years of practice, Jim told me he has never known a more
vindictive ex-husband than mine. Although my ex has filed countless
extensive motions, Jim has won every important motion in my divorce case.
He is extremely thorough and very well-spoken in the courtroom, was superb
in cross-examining my ex-husband, and prepared me very well for the witness
stand. .
He is extremely knowledgeable in divorce law, very trustworthy and guided me
in how to move forward as quickly as possible in my divorce.
He is well-known at the Jefferson County Courthouse, as well. I am most
grateful for his expertise in all the court battles he has won for me. I
wouldn't hesitate for a minute to highly recommend Jim to you. You won't be
disappointed and you would never want him on the other side of the courtroom
representing your ex.

Ann successfully handled my collaborative divorce this year. She demonstrated a thorough knowledge and understanding of the issues involved and was skillful in explaining concepts to a layman with little experience in this area. She kept me regularly informed regarding all the developments in my case and was an excellent advocate for me when I was unable to be one for myself. It was clear the other professionals involved in the case enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a collaborative attorney and will absolutely use her again.

I was referred to Lynne after another lawyer mismanaged the beginning process of my divorce. When I met Lynne I was immediately drawn to her straightforward and professional demeanor. Lynne is intelligent, compassionate and legitimately cares about her clients. She takes pride in her work, which is apparent from her attention to detail. She was never dismissive of my situation and always made me feel comfortable. Lynne not only had my best interest in mind, but she was also looking out for my future. I trusted her explicitly during this difficult situation. Lynne and her team always followed through to the last detail, communicated and explained everything that was going on in my case. Her and her staff were always quick to respond to all of my requests/concerns. When you are going through an incredibly emotional and stressful situation, it makes things more manageable when you find an attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and amazingly supportive. She is someone I would call a friend. I would highly recommend Lynne without hesitation to anyone, especially a close friend or family member.

I hired Dick to take over a very complicated case nearly 20 years ago. My hearing date was actually on September 11, 2001 And was rescheduled when the court closed after the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
I had a very complex & emotional case. I was young & naive & married a man I thought I knew but didn’t. He was a fantastic liar & could charm anyone by telling them exactly what they wanted to hear. He was able to convince his lawyer & mine that I was the one lying when it was him.
I had been severely injured in a car accident not long after I met him. I got a substantial settlement for my injuries & the future medical expenses, the life ahead of me of severe chronic pain and inability to earn the income I would have without the pain.
The man I married changed into someone else the moment we returned from our honeymoon.
I was foolish & naive & put all of that money in a joint account (legally making it equally his even though the accident & settlement both occurred before we got married.). My ex spent it all.
I trusted and believed he worked very long hours and traveled as needed with his job. I was focused on a series of major medical procedures like reconstruction of my jaw and face (5 surgeries and still need a titanium total joint replacement for my jaw). Having to leave my job & find another one before my short term disability ran out while getting my surgeries. I decided to finish my MBA in one semester before going back to work so was very distracted with the pain, procedures, moving and getting my MBA.
When that money was gone he turned to credit cards I was unaware of & ran up $50k in debt that I was legally half responsible for. ( Full of charges to places I had never been & things from Victoria’s Secret that I never saw.)
I was not around much & when I was I was either doing homework or resting from the constant chronic pain & series of surgeries and recovery.
He went from the perfect charming man for me telling me everything I wanted to hear & believe about him to a completely different man the day we got home from our honeymoon.
He became increasingly violent and dangerous until the day I left.
The day I left he started loading a 9mm gun while screaming at me that he would NEVER let me leave! He demanded instructions to get the money from my life insurance policy from my employer. He had a perfect plan to put my body in a wood chipper after I was dead to destroy my body & all evidence. We were needing to landscape at the new house & it was perfect to just mix my body in with the mulch. He would tell everyone I abandoned him & left everything with him.
I managed to get the loaded gun from him & ran out the door with my purse, keys, gun, the clothes on my back and — MY LIFE!
I hired a “low cost” attorney who drug things out ran up the retainer & told me I had to return the gun to my ex for HIS 2nd amendment rights.
He also got me a restraining order with my location on it! I had to move again & hire a new attorney!
I had already spent $10,000 to get nowhere.
I found Dick & he fixed everything! In court Dick & his associate had a full day of questioning my ex until he lost track of his lies. He couldn’t fight with a real man when he was used to picking on women. My ex even insulted the judge!
Dick came into a mess of a case with deadlines that had passed & I was an emotional, terrified wreck.
Dick was able to make me feel safe & return me to as close to financially & emotionally whole again as possible.
He was THE BEST Lawyer in 2001, & I can’t begin to imagine how good he is now. He saved my life literally & financially so I could get a new start.
He is worth EVERY penny!
Dick is extremely knowledgeable of the laws, he is great with negotiating in virtually impossible situations. He is tough as nails, but also sensitive to what his client is going through & gets results.

My divorce took nearly two years. We were weeks away from having to endure the expense and emotional toll of a two day trial. Dick was referred by my ex-husband's attorney for the final mediation attempt. I am grateful that we agreed to use him. His experience and professional, yet direct communication and explaination resulted in the impossible, a settlement. He not only saved our marital estate thousands of dollars, he made the road to rebuilding our sanity, trust and communication for the sake of our children happen that much sooner. I will be forever grateful for his professionalism, experience and ability to communicate with both sides in an honest and direct manner.

I recently went through a divorce and Mr. Rotole was recommended to me but a co-worker. Mr. Rotole was extremely knowledgeable and was not afraid to take on my strange situation as I was a resident of Colorado and my ex husband lived out of state (I am active duty military and my ex-husband was former military). Mr. Rotole and his staff were constantly keeping me informed on communications they had with my now ex-husband. Even though my ex-husband choose not to participate in the divorce Mr. Rotole and his staff made sure he was always aware of what was going on and important court dates. My ex-husband made Mr. Rotole and his staffs job difficult at times, he would claim to not have gotten documents that were sent 3 different ways, he would call yelling at the staff. Mr. Rotole and his staff were never anything but professional and accommodating. I am extremely pleased with my experience with Mr. Rotole and his staff. Divorce is never an easy or fun experience but Mr. Rotole made it as painless as possible. I could not have been any more pleased with the out come. Thank you

We were very pleased with the service we received from Merlin Law Group.

Suzanne was an amazing consultant in my divorce. I had never worked with a lawyer before and Suzanne helped me walk through the process with such compassion and patience.

Suzanne helped me with my divorce last year. She is professional, sharp, and extremely effective. I was able to keep my retirement accounts because she pointed out that my ex and I had always kept our accounts separate from day 1 of the marriage, and that I should be able to retain my own accounts. The judge accepted this and signed off on it, and I feel safe and financially secure as a result.
As contentious as divorce can be, she helped keep everything fair and civil. She is a wonderful person who wants to help.
I cannot recommend her enough!

It is a pleasure to compliment the legal work that Susanne Ewy has done for me.
At 92 years of age my ability to deal with Boulder (Colorado) County authorities is quite limited. When I received notice this year that my home valuation had just risen by 50% I was shocked. This meant my home real estate taxes would also rise by this same 50% amount!
Boulder (Colorado) County displayed “comparable” nearby home properties that had recently sold as justification despite the significant differences in comparisons. I engaged Suzanne Ewy to help me deal with Boulder County over this gross exaggeration.
She developed a plan, gathered materials, both statistical and visual, and, within the County-stated strict limitations, delivered my request for re-evaluation. She prepared, I think, about forty-five pages of information for the County.
The County Assessor rejected her request for re-evaluation completely, requiring her to file an appeal and appear before the Board of Equalization. She prepared me for that virtual hearing, making sure that I could hear and understand the proceedings.
Long story shortened, the BOE granted me the totality of my evaluation amount – the entire reduction of 50%. Virtually unheard of in this county. This will result in a reasonable tax amount that will have an immediate and a long-term effect on this aging citizen who has paid Boulder real estate taxes since about 1970.
My many thanks and admiration for her reasoned and effective work is unbounded.

My vocabulary does not contain enough superlatives to describe Joe Kovarik, the patent attorney that I was lucky enough to hire in 2008. During this time, Mr. Kovarik has provided invaluable legal counsel, has been my most loyal advocate, has diplomatically steered me away from potential problems and has allowed me to be successful at the USPTO. During a conflict which I had with a large corporation, Joe took them on and soundly beat them. This was not just due to his brilliance at the time, but had a lot to do with the preparations he made years in advance where he was essentially prescient in recognizing a dishonest company. Mr. Kovarik is the finest patent attorney I've had the pleasure to work with over the past 24 years. It is worth inventing something just to have him as your attorney.

Robin Rossenfeld has been a volunteer conflict resolution professional with our County-supported community mediation program, for sixteen years. In this role, she has been a mediator (handling parenting and child support, civil, neighbor-neighbor, family and other types of cases typical of a community mediation program) and a group facilitator for public meetings, County workgroup retreats, etc. She has also helped our program do conflict resolution trainings of County employees and represented us at various community events. Robin has used her legal knowledge and skills to make her an even more credible mediator and facilitator. Her tenure with our program is nearly the longest among our active volunteers, and she has been, and continues to be, one of our most versatile and dedicated unpaid professionals. I have no hesitation in supporting Robin as an attorney or mediator who can be trusted to do outstanding work for her clients.

I have been fortunate to work closely with Kelly for several years now. I liked her as soon as I met her. She is a very hard working attorney, and more importantly (and sometimes rare) is that she really gets to know her clients, her colleagues, her peers, and the Courts. She can see the positive side in terrible situations, where she then uses her Southern charm and her bright intelligence to work through problems. She is the perfect fit for family law cases.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
