Good Lawyers Are Not Cheap
I feel the firm is competent and caring. They represented my best interests honestly. If you are reading reviews of lawyers, you likely need one. Please understand that most cases will take longer than you anticipate. You likely need a long-term partner, as court cases are not always quick. Denver Family Lawyers was a good partnership for me. I have reason to believe that they would be a great partner for you also. ALSO FYI good lawyers are not cheap. That is a general truth.

Professional and Experienced Attorney
Birgit represents us in maintaining safety and care for our grandchild. We are grandparents and would not have been able to do this without her representation. Birgit is a professional, experienced, and knowledgeable attorney, ethical, and cares about her clients.
Margaret Enterline
Feeling Like Genuine Concern
Bill helped win my rather complicated case and even took time to give me legal advice years down the road after the fact. Family court can be a devastating thing to go through, but he made me feel like he had genuine concern for me and that I wasn't just another paycheck. Thanks, Bill!
Danny Herrera
Wonderful experience with Bill Thode
Wonderful experience working with Attorney Bill Thode. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Would recommend him to anyone.

10/10 Recommend Denver Family Lawyers!
Bull and Birgit handled my custody case with ease and grace. Always made time to answer my questions and help me fix issues caused by past attorneys that did not put as much care into my case (or my kids). 10/10 recommend Denver Family Lawyers for your custody related needs! Thanks Birgit!!!

Denver Family Lawyers were absolutely the right lawyers for me! Bill took very good care of me and my time with my daughter.

Bill helped during a very difficult time. They were always very open and willing to take on the issues. I was very pleased that Bill took the high road and was not willing to play games with opposing counsel, even when they were not reasonable. The outcome was great.
James Matticks
Great advocate for Intervenors
Andrea Dalton and Bill Thode proved to be competent, professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Andrea Dalton has been our attorney and has done an excellent job in challenging a case where we as grandparents have been involved in raising our 14-year-old granddaughter. Mom, who hasn’t been around much, now wants to step in. Andrea has been a great advocate for us as the intervenors. I would recommend her to anyone seeking assistance in a Family Law situation.

Phenomenal Lawyer
I hired Brian Booney for a couple of different cases that were a mess. He was phenomenal. He is a big guy, as is his voice and his presence. I felt for the first time throughout all this I was being heard with him. He is knowledgeable, prompt, and patient. I must have called him a million times, and he always answered or called me back quickly. Financially he was helpful in more ways than I can say. From giving me a week's extension on a payment here and there to setting up video hearings so he didn't have to charge me several hours of travel time. The outcome of my cases ended better than what I hoped for. Brian Booney and Denver Family Law are the lawyers to call.

Marital property is typically divided equitably, not necessarily equally. Factors such as the length of the marriage, each party's financial situation, and contributions to the marriage are considered.
