The lawyer you hire is the lawyer you get. That sentence is the whole business model.
Plenty of firms are built around leverage: a partner signs the case, someone else runs it, and the person who knows your file best is someone you have never met. I built my practice the other way. I keep the docket small enough to run personally, so the strategy, the negotiation and the courtroom are mine. When you call, you reach me. When we meet, it is me, every time. When it goes to court, I am the one standing next to you.
The clients who come to me have a lot to protect: a company, a professional practice, equity that vests over years, a portfolio, a house in a neighborhood the children should not have to leave. In those cases the details decide the result. What income actually is when it runs through a business. Whether a trust is property or an expectancy. What a settlement is worth after tax. I read a balance sheet the way an owner does, because I am one.
I was admitted in 1995 and spent seventeen years as a founding partner of a nine-attorney divorce litigation firm in Orange County, California, representing CEOs, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, celebrities and public figures: valuations, executive compensation, assets traced across borders. I took a Georgetown LL.M. in taxation along the way, which is why what a settlement is worth after tax is where I do some of my best work. Then a decade on the client’s side of the table as a general counsel, closing deals and litigating the disputes that came with them.
Now I practice from Greenwood Village, start to finish, with seventy-plus bench trials behind me. Most divorces should settle, and the strongest settlements go to the side that is plainly prepared not to. I prepare every case for trial: the record built, the valuations tested, the weak points found first. If it goes to court, you have a lawyer who has spent thirty years there.
A working guide to Colorado divorce and custody, written by the lawyer who tries the cases: the money, the children, the agreements before and after a marriage, and the process from the day you are served to the years after the decree. Each page answers its question in full, with the statute it turns on and the courthouse where it is heard, and the guide grows as clients bring new questions.
Six ways in. Pick the line that fits, read the page it opens with, then the three after it. The four chapters below hold everything else, in order.

Income is the case.
Decided by what you do, not what you say.
Built to hold up.
From the petition to the years after the decree.
An iron fist in a velvet glove.
Most divorces should settle. The strongest settlements go to the side that is plainly prepared not to.
Every case is built as if it will be tried: the record, the valuations, the weak points found first. That is what makes a settlement offer credible.
I negotiate with the trial already prepared, so the other side is settling with the lawyer who will try the case, not one hoping to avoid it. That is where the good terms come from.
You have my cell number. My paralegal keeps the case moving the same day; nothing waits for me to walk out of a courtroom.
Google reviews from the people I have represented. The pattern is the point: the same lawyer at the first call and the last hearing.
Thoughtful, creative, and steadfast when it mattered most. He protected my interests, helped me navigate tough decisions, and remained a trusted advisor from start to finish.”
