Denver Family Lawyer

If you are seeking an uncontested divorce, you may not need an attorney, although it could be to your benefit to have legal guidance. In cases of contested divorce, child custody disputes, child support or spousal support disagreements and other potentially high-conflict issues, you will almost certainly need a legal advisor on your side who is thoroughly familiar with Colorado law to ensure your rights and interests and those of your children are considered.

Our Denver family attorney delves deeply into the details of each client’s issue so that she is not left unaware or surprised by possible factors that may be present and could impact the case. This deep dive allows her to provide strategic and tailored legal guidance. At the same time, she has a big-picture view of family law issues and the courts that helps her to understand how cases may progress. Very importantly, when you work with our law firm, your case will not be just another number. You will receive personalized legal assistance from a client-focused attorney who is responsive, compassionate, and committed to resolving clients’ legal issues.

How much a family lawyer will cost for your case depends upon your reason for hiring a lawyer, the complexity of the issue, the level of disagreement between you and the other party or parties involved and other factors. Our law firm’s initial consultation is free. When we meet with you and learn about your family law problem, we will discuss with you what our legal services may cost based on the factors in your case.

The majority of family legal conflicts involving divorce and its related areas are resolved through negotiations between the parties involved and their attorneys. Sometimes negotiations may involve the assistance of neutral mediators who are specially trained to help disputing parties reach compromise. When fair agreements are reached through negotiations, the court will typically sign off on them. In matters involving children, they will sign off after determining that an agreement is in the child’s best interests. However, if property division, parenting time and other agreements can’t be negotiated, cases will go to a court hearing, which is similar to a trial.

We don’t have a one-size-fits all approach to cases. We seek to resolve each client’s case in the best way possible based on the individual situation. Once we learn the details of your matter, our family lawyer in Denver will advise you about how to approach the case to best reach your goals. Depending on the circumstances, she may be able to negotiate a satisfactory outcome for you. If that is not a possibility and your case is headed to court, our skilled attorney will assertively represent your interests at trial.

If a judge’s order has not gone in your favor, you may be able to have your case reviewed by the appellate court. You can’t appeal simply because you are upset with the decision, however. You must have a legal ground for an appeal. Some of the grounds for an appeal include a misrepresentation of the facts, errors made by the court and misapplication of the law. What are the possible outcomes in an appeal? The appellate court may reverse the trial court’s decision, remand the case back to the court to be reheard, or affirm the decision. If you are considering an appeal, contact our Denver family attorney right away. Appeals are very complicated, and there are strict deadlines that you must meet, or you will lose your right to appeal. Call us today at 720-615-1750.
