An attorney myself for close to 50 years, I met Ron Garfield in an Aspen real estate transaction where he was representing the adverse party in the late 1980's. I was impressed by his expertise, demeanor and professionalism and have been using Ron ever since in numerous real estate and transactional matters as well as for general advice in other situations that have occurred over the years. His Representation is and has always been excellent. When it comes to client communication, specifically return calls and answering questions about anything and everything, Ron gets back to me promptly, does not procrastinate, gives me his feedback (which is invariably correct) and has become my "go to guy" in Aspen and Colorado matters. For these and other reasons I strongly recommend Ron Garfield and the Garfield and Hecht firm.

Ron Garfield has been my attorney for 30 years. His expertise and analytic skills are excellent. I have really appreciated his outstanding communication and guidance in all of my dealings with him.

Mr. Garfield's expertise has help my bank close several high dollar, complicated transactions. Mr. Garfield is extremely professional and always looking out for the best interests of his clients. He is also an attorney that is adept knowing what is important and facilitates the ultimate closing the transaction.

We met Tamra many years ago while working at ATT. She was a suggest lawyer to consult through our union benefits. We had a will made to protect ourselves and assets. As we have aged and our family situation changed, we have worked with Tamra over the years to keep our wills current. It is always easy working with Tamra and her staff.

19 Apr, 2016 by Bryan & susan

We recently relocated to Broomfield County and had previously written our own wills and medical powers-of-attorney. Now retired we wanted legal help to create a Family Trust and avoid any probate procedures. We got a recommendation from various sources and interviewed Tamra. We immediately determined she had the experience and patience we were looking for. She and her staff provided timely advice and documents to allow us to continually make progress and finalize a well prepared Family Trust supported by new wills and powers-of-attorney consistent with Colorado law. She was easy to communicate with on an ongoing basis and we had three detail meetings that really helped us understand and get advice. We would recommend Tamra for any Elder or Estate Law needs.

We were very pleased with the service we received from Merlin Law Group. Our attorney, Jonathan Bukowski, and his staff were responsive and timely to our inquiries and worked hard to get us fair treatment from the insurance company. We received the maximum we were allocated to get and would not have been able to do that without their help.

a few years ago we filed bankruptcy and we lost our home to foreclosure. was it our fault, health issues, societies greed in general ? I really don't know, but what I do know is, I'm very glad we hired Tim. that was a stressful time and it went on for almost two years. he never judged us and when we needed him, he was there, available to us personally and he relieved that stress. I'm honestly glad Tim was in our corner. thanks Tim!

Tom Blake saw me through a personal injury lawsuit that I had started to see as hopeless just a few days before contacting him. From the first conversation we had, he instilled a new hope in me. I have been in awe at his professionalism, experience, and knowledge. He is an excellent strategist and has good morals to go with it. My life has been full of pain for the last few years, and Tom was able to make things feel more right for me. I am so grateful. My only regret is not reaching out to Tom sooner. I wouldn't have had to deal with someone else's insurance company for years if I did. It was my first car accident, and I was scared and confused- with no one to take advice from. Take it from me, Tom will guide you in the right direction and you will learn from it. I will let anyone who needs a good man for a lawyer know where to go. Thank you, Tom!

18 May, 2023 by Carlos pinedo-bonilla

Tom Blake is well versed in Personal Injury Law. He navigated through the technical issues with the insurance companies, and knows the nuances of state law to ensure you are made whole. I would highly recommend Mr. Blake to anyone who wants a true legal professional in their corner. In addition to his legal expertise, he is also compassionate, a great advocate and a strategist when navigating for what is in his client's best interest. For these reasons, Mr. Blake will be my first choice should I ever need a great attorney and would not hesitate to refer/recommend him to anyone requiring a first class attorney.

Mr Blake and his staff walked with me through a tough journey. There were no surprises because he prepared me for every step in the process.

Nancy Adam is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. She was always available to answer any questions we had; and she represented my business on landlord-tenant matters, defending litigation, client representative in complex litigation, resolution of collection and HOA matters. Nancy is aggressive, committed and dedicated to her clients and cases. I highly recommended Nancy for her communication ability, responsiveness, quality of service and value for my money. She helped me every step of the way. I couldn't be any happier with her, and I could not have asked for anyone better to represent me.

Nancy Adam is highly recommended. Organized, thorough, trustworthy. She kept me well informed and explained everything well. I would not hesitate to steer anyone requiring legal assistance to Nancy. BTW, we won!

12 Feb, 2014 by Max

Nancy was very committed to my case. She was always available to assist with any problems I had regarding the case, questions I may have had, and keeping me up to date with everything I needed to know. In addition, she was very honest with me during the whole process and never gave me false hopes or assurances that could not be guaranteed. Also, the defendant in the case had quite a personality issue and Nancy helped guide me through specific ways I could present myself and the case in court in order to take advantage of it. I definitely would recommend working with Nancy.

I worked with Inga Causey on a civil litigation case for nearly two yearsand would characterize my interactions with her as outstanding. Inga was consistently professional, accessible, knowledgeable, pragmatic, and ultimately successful. She was extremely helpful in explaining her thinking, plans, and likely outcomes of the case at every step along the way. I felt throughout the entire case that she always dedicated extensive time and effort to working on my behalf and that she at all times shared a candid outlook for the case. Above all, she conducted herself with extremely high levels of professionalism and integrity. I'd highly recommend to future potential clients.

Matt worked with my family and I for years on a very grueling and difficult civil case. We were constantly pleased by Matt's knowledge and his ability to find solutions to each of the many curve balls that were presented throughout this process. It took a lot of creative thinking and problem solving to bring our case to a close and Matt was certainly the best person for that job. He was always extremely diligent in keeping us up to date and informed every step of the way. His communication really is unmatched. Through it all, he helped guide us to the most reasonable and fair outcome, keeping us educated and aware of where the case stood and where it was going. I continue to look forward to working with Matt again in the future and remain grateful for everything that he has done for me and for my family. I am positive, whoever reads this will feel the same after working with Matt. Don't miss the opportunity.

Matt is to the point, listens well, and comes to know the issue quickly. His counsel was practical and well articulated, taking into a broad range of possibilities. He is very easy to talk to and helped me come to the best decision based on the law, financial requirements and an emotional point of view. I appreciate his integrity, timeliness, compassion and professionalism. I highly recommend him.

Matt succeeded in getting health care coverage from my health care insurance for medical procedures that should have been covered. My MD was very impressed, as he himself had not been successful despite numerous appeals.

Alan Feldman has represented Aspen Constructors for over 12 years and always obtained outstanding results in an efficient and economical manner. The nature of the matters include Real Estate transactions, Contracts, Constuction Litigation and general business. His advice is logical and straightforward with our best interest in mind. He also includeds sound business advice in his legal guidance. I would recomend Alan Feldman without resevation.

I hired Alan Feldman to represent me in a dispute over my minority shareholder rights and buyout of my stock from my former company which I was the President-CEO. I first met Mr Feldman when he represented a client that my former company had a contractual dispute with. Alan Feldman was tenacious, unrelenting and impressive in his pursuit of winning the case for his client, which he did. He impressed me so much that I was incline to hire him when I was in need of representation for a buyout and protection of my minority stake in the company I had built. If you are in need of an attorney who will not quit, fight hard, pursue every avenue and angle then Alan Feldman would be a great choice. Needless to say, he was able to bring my issue to a timely resolution that I was extremely pleased with and for a very reasonable fee. What more could one ask?

Ron was a lifelong, personal friend of my husband who passed away in March of 2020. He became a very special friend of mine. I was at a loss at the mere shock of my husband’s unexpected and sudden death. Ron helped me wade through my husband’s Trust and all of the responsibilities that I found myself having to deal with. I don’t know what I would have done without his legal expertise. Ron helped to keep me focused as I found myself oftentimes walking in a fog so much of the time for months after my husband died. Ron is the best and one of the nicest and kindest men I have ever met. He will always have a special place in my heart.

05 Jun, 2015 by Pat

Mr. Ronald Brotzman (Ron) has been our legal counsel for over two decades and has really been there for us. Ron has provided council on family trusts and estates numerous times -- both our parents and ours. Ron has created estate plans for us including family trusts, wills, power of attorney documents and helped transfer estate property. He has been very helpful clarifying, and sometimes debunking, the cloud of legal information you come across on the internet. Ron has setup multiple LLC’s for our businesses and provided general legal counsel on potential disputes. When warranted he recommends other specialist, i.e., patent attorneys, etc. Most importantly, Ron is our first step in anything legal.

19 Apr, 2015 by Anonymous

I have known Ron Brotzman for over 20 years and during that time he has handled a number of different legal matters for me. He is very knowledgeable about many facets of the law, especially in dealing with wills, trusts, and family law. He worked with my mother and myself in rewriting our wills and living wills, durable and medical Powers of Attorney, and Revocable Trusts. He gave us a variety of options as to how these could be set up and gave us his advice on what would be the best way and told us why. When I had an issue with a beneficiary, he helped me to figure out the best way to handle it. He is very approachable and quickly responds to any questions that I have. I know that he is looking out for my best interests and I am thankful to have him on my side. I highly recommend Ron to anyone needing an attorney.

We highly recommend using Darrell Damschen as he fought, and won, a dispute for us over improperly installed siding on our home. We tried to resolve the issue ourselves without any results and when Darrell became involved he swiftly took action and organized the lawsuit. He was prompt, professional and courteous. We would definitely use his services again.

05 Jan, 2016 by Matt

My wife and I hired Mr. Damschen to defend us against a complicated lawsuit filed against us by a reckless and negligent hardwood flooring contractor. Mr. Damschen initially provided us with free phone consultations and then we hired him to represent us. Mr. Damschen is personable, cordial and easy to speak with as he does well to translate legal jargon into common English. He was always well prepared and did considerable research to stay on top of the case. He was successful in getting a number of claims against us withdrawn or dismissed and ultimately put us in a good situation to address the true matter at hand which was complicated by the contractor's frivolous claims. In the end Mr. Damschen was able to get us in a position to make a very reasonable settlement offer to avoid further legal costs. We would highly recommend Mr. Damschen to anyone who is dealing with a construction defect or a contract dispute.

29 Dec, 2015 by Za w johnson

Darrell did an exceptional job of determining all that would be required and making contacts with all necessary players. He kept several of our people in the loop not just me. He guided the proper funds resources needed for the bidding process. He acted as our representative in the bidding process at the county office. He made sure all of the necessary paperwork was filed with the county. He checked to be sure that the transaction became finalized after the necessary waiting period. He secured the information needed to gain access to the property after the transaction was final. Everything that Darrell did was outstanding and clear and with the necessary detail. He made all of the required decisions that could have been a source of unnecessary work for us as client. I highly recommend Darrell to anyone seeking legal guidance. He will be upfront about what it will take to accomplish the task and move forward with confidence and great capability once hired.

I retained Mr. Elmore after about a year of failed attempts at handling my home loan modification, on my own. I was facing foreclosure and was feeling a bit misled and somewhat bullied by my mortgage company. I had previously attempted to retain a different lawyer, who informed me that it was hopeless and furthermore she was amazed that I was still in my home. On a friend's referral, I called Mr. Elmore. Right from the start he was very confident, which I needed, as well as informative. He detailed what the process would entail, including my resposibilites and a timeline. Along the way I chose to file bankruptcy, which he had initially informed me was an option available to me. The banckruptcy and loan modification were both successful and I'm sleeping soundly again. There were no surprises along the way and his fee was perfectly reasonable. I'm more than happy with Kevin Elmore.

This law firm, its associates, paralegal team and staff were incredible to work with. The team was able to relieve the stress of the legalities while I focused on healing. Recommending them is easy because they’re trustworthy, hardworking, thoughtful and responsive. I am very pleased with the services provided and even more so by the outcome!

Mark did a great job with my motorcycle accident. We didn't have to pay back my health insurer anything and all my medical bills were paid. After a short law suit we settled for over 300k. The insurer offered me almost nothing before I hired Mark. He earned every part of his fee and then some.

What a Real Estate Lawyer Can Do for You

A real estate lawyer provides legal assistance in transactions and disputes involving property, including residential and commercial real estate. Whether you're buying, selling, leasing, or developing property, a real estate attorney can help ensure that your transactions are legally sound and your rights are protected. They review contracts, perform due diligence, resolve disputes, and provide legal representation in negotiations and litigation involving property matters.

Real estate lawyers are crucial in safeguarding your investment by ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal real estate laws, as well as protecting you from potential legal pitfalls related to property ownership and transactions.

When Should I Hire a Real Estate Lawyer?

Hiring a real estate lawyer is beneficial in various scenarios, including:

Buying or selling property: When navigating complex real estate contracts, it’s advisable to have a lawyer review and ensure that the terms are favorable and legal.
Commercial property transactions: For leasing, purchasing, or selling commercial properties, a lawyer can help manage the intricate legal aspects of such transactions.
Zoning or land use issues: If you're planning to develop property or change its use, a real estate lawyer can guide you through zoning laws and land use regulations.
Resolving property disputes: For boundary disputes, title issues, or disagreements over property rights, a lawyer can help mediate or litigate the matter.
Foreclosures or evictions: If you're dealing with foreclosure or managing a tenant eviction, legal representation ensures that the process adheres to local laws and protects your interests.
Title and deed issues: Lawyers can help clear title disputes, ensure the legitimacy of property deeds, and handle transfers of ownership.

What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?

A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:

Contract drafting and review: Ensuring that purchase agreements, leases, and other contracts are legally binding, fair, and protect your interests.
Title search and clearance: Conducting a thorough title search to ensure that the property has no legal claims or liens that could affect ownership.
Facilitate closing: Managing the closing process in real estate transactions, including reviewing final documents and ensuring that everything is in order before the transfer of ownership.
Resolve disputes: Handling legal disputes related to property ownership, boundaries, zoning, or tenants.
Assist in financing: Reviewing loan agreements and mortgage documents to ensure the terms are fair and legally sound.
Zoning and land use advice: Guiding clients through the complexities of zoning laws and building regulations for property development or renovation projects.

How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?

Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:

Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
Contingency fees: In rare cases, such as property disputes or claims for damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle the case.
Retainer: For ongoing legal support, some clients may pay a retainer, which is an upfront fee used as a deposit for future legal services.

It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

How Much Does a Real Estate Lawyer Cost?

The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:

Type of transaction or issue: Simple tasks, like contract reviews, typically cost less than handling a complex property dispute or litigation.
Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.
Billing structure: Lawyers may charge a flat fee for basic services like document review or hourly for more time-intensive work such as disputes or litigation.

Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.

Hourly rates can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on the attorney’s experience and location.

Always discuss fees upfront to understand the overall cost of the legal service you're receiving.

How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:

Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:

Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.

By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
