I think what’s different about our Law

Firm from other law firms is really our

focus on practical Solutions we bring a

lot to the table but you know there are

a lot of competent attorneys in Colorado

our goal though is really to provide uh

the type of services for complex

litigation and for collaborative divorce

in a way that doesn’t increase conflict

I’ve been through my own personal

divorce we’ve had people here who’ve

gone through Domestic Relations matters

and it’s really our goal to leave

parties better than we find them and

it’s really not our job to increase

conflict we have a duty to zealously

represent our clients but by the same

token I feel like despite the fact that

there’s no Hippocratic Oath in law we

also have a duty to not to create damage

in families so I think really what sets

us apart is our focus on getting people

through this process in a way that makes

sense and that provides them with

solutions they can live with

foreign

so my background actually before coming

to family law was in the area of

executive compensation for Fortune 500

companies as a result my area of focus

really is in complex issues related to

stock rates closely held businesses High

asset issues High income issues but we

also provide services related to

Parenting plans relocation alienation

post-degree issues pretty much

everything that touches on Domestic

Relations we’re there

foreign

I have some pretty strong feelings about

this I really think people should

really look for an attorney who is going

to run their case the way they want it

to be run there are people out there

that want to have the biggest fight ever

and they really want to hire a bulldog

but there are people whose focus is

really on making sure that they are able

to co-parent with with their children’s

father or Mother after the divorce

people who have complex issues that

maybe shouldn’t go in front of a judge

because a judge won’t be able to figure

them out I think it’s really important

that people hire the attorney who’s

going to be able to run their case in

the way that they want it run I think

there was recently a movie called a

marriage story that expressed this very

well and that is that both parties sort

of had an agreement that they were not

going to have a terrible divorce and

that there wasn’t that much to divide

and then one the wife hired an attorney

who you know ran the case and created a

storyline for the case that seemed very

different to the husband than what he

thought the case was about and then

husband had to go hire litigation

counsel and the next thing you knew both

parties were sitting in court and their

case was being driven by the attorney’s

view of the case and not by their own

view of the case so focusing on ensuring

that you’re hiring the attorney who will

run the case the way you want it to be

run is very important and if it turns

out you’ve hired an attorney who’s

running the case in a direction you’re

not interested in it’s never too late to

switch counsel
