Top best L Lawyers in Denver | 6134 available

I learned from an early age what the power of the state can do to a family. I know from personal experience that the justice system is not always just. I never lived in an ivory tower, and I do not want to live in one. I know that innocent people are accused of crimes every day. I apologize to no one for the work I have done for the wrongly accused. It is my job to fight for you. I will not sleep until I get justice for you. I truly love our justice system, but the people I have known in my personal and professional life and the people I have represented as a defense attorney have proven to me that while our system is broken, my skills as a defense attorney can truly make a difference. I am passionate about defending the accused because I know that I can even the odds. I can create justice where it did not exist before. There is no case too small. There is no person accused by the state I won’t use my gift to help. I am dedicated to defending each of my clients as if they were a member of my family, and I chose to partner with Daniel Mossinghoff because I know he will do the same.. I had the opportunity to take advantage of my athletic abilities coming out of high school, but I was single minded in my desire to have the opportunity to fight for the accused. I graduated from Occidental College and quickly passed up professional athletic opportunities at home and abroad to pursue my passion in the law. While I was a student at the University of Denver School of Law, I worked long into the night to be successful in my classes while working full time as an intern for the district attorneys office and balancing raising a daughter with my second on the way. I maintained a high GPA and accomplished my goals. I know what work means. I do not know what life is without hard work. I will never give you less than my best.. When I passed the bar exam, I was immediately offered a job in prosecution. I applied my work ethic and quickly moved through the ranks of the DA’s office. I tried cases on a weekly basis and honed my trial skills throughout my five year prosecution career. I learned the politics that all DA’s have to deal with. I learned what juries think about real cases, and I learned the skills that are truly needed to bring justice to each case. I worked my way from an intern, to a line deputy, to a county court supervisor in both Douglas and Arapahoe counties. I worked diligently in juvenile prosecution, and I learned the every day politics and pitfalls that every family in that system should know. I prosecuted felonies and saw how perilous it is for a defendant to face a felony without the help of an attorney. I learned how the system will fail you. I spent a long time training DA’s, training the police, and training myself on how to properly administer justice. I have successfully tried countless cases. I understand the system you that has accused you and how to deal with the politics that stand in the way of a truly just result. I believe that the only thing that stands between the government an justice is a truly great defense attorney. I am that attorney, and I am in the prime of my career.. When I was a prosecutor, I learned from the best of the best. I honed my skills and learned their weaknesses. They are not weak, and they have a lot of power; my experience can protect you. When I left prosecution, I did so to become an expert criminal defense attorney. I have spent the last seven years making myself the best defense attorney I can be. My life experience, my real world training and my last seven years as a defense attorney help me to know that I am the best attorney for your case; the DA’s know it, the Courts know it when you take the time to talk to me. Call me so I can prove it to you for free.. I decided to leave prosecution when I realized that the politics of that position would interfere with my obligation to do justice. I saw that I could do much more to help people by using my skills to help the accused. It was the best decision I have ever made. I have lost count of the cases I have won; I stopped counting because my ego is not what drives my desire to fight. The authentic appreciation that my clients have is what drives me. I must do the best that I can for everyone that entrusts me with their life changing experience. My drive to do my best is what keeps me up at night. Your case is what I live for. I promise to give you all that I have; nothing else is acceptable to me.. I met Daniel Mossinghoff while we were young prosecutors. His trial skills are the best I have ever seen. His dedication to protecting the constitution is unparallelled, and his passion to seek justice for our clients is awe inspiring. I fought to have him bring his skills to our former firm of Fife, Mangnall and Mossinghoff. His dedication to the law, to justice and most importantly to our clients makes me feel honored to work with him.

I lead the family law practice at Kontnik | Cohen, LLC. I began my legal career working alongside a judge in a state trial court, and then moved up to federal appellate court (1 level below the U.S. Supreme Court). Flowing from these judicial experiences is a unique legal perspective that I rely upon in all cases. I believe that the best outcomes are the result of a diligent and detailed preparation. Favorable outcomes in and out of court are fueled long before settlement conferences and trials. I have had many favorable outcomes inside the courtroom but am equally experienced in mediation and negotiation. I approach all cases with a high attention to detail and an eye towards settlement.. My primary focus and passion is undoubtedly family law. In helping people though some of the most difficult times, I rely upon my ability to read between the lines to gain a competitive edge during a case. From time to time, I also enjoy working on interesting cases outside the family law arena. In 2014, I was part of the team that received the highest civil rights settlement (at the time) in the City of Denver for excessive police force.. For fun and entertainment, I enjoy spending time with my family, skiing, or working with the two non-profits that I support: Denver Active Children's Foundation, which donates $1M per year to at-risk youth, and Wish of a Lifetime, which grants life-long wishes to our country’s eldest generation. During college, I was on the Div. II Men’s Ice Hockey team and, in high school, was a team caption for our two-time state champion hockey team.. [Note: RESULTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED. THE FACTS AND LEGAL CIRCUMSTANCES IN EVERY CASE ARE UNIQUE AND WILL DICTATE THE OUTCOME.]

I help clients evaluate options and identify solutions in the arena of fiduciary litigation. I represent an array of clients in the resolution of probate and trust-related litigation.

Specifically, this includes disputes involving fiduciary responsibility and liability, spousal rights, interpretation of wills and trusts, distributions to beneficiaries, will contests, fiduciary compensation, and disputes in which fraud, undue influence, and lack of capacity are at issue.I am an active speaker in the areas of trusts, estates, and protective proceedings, and I blog about these and related issues at Fiduciary Law Blog ().

I have lived and practiced family law in Colorado since 2005, after moving from Massachusetts, where I began practicing law in 1990, and New Hampshire, where I became licensed in 1995.  While I had a more varied practice on the east coast, including civil litigation, family law, social security disabilty, equine law, and assisting veterans with benefit claims, I have focused exclusively on representation of parties in family law disputes for the past 21 years.  I take great pride in representing people who are trying to move forward from highly stressful conflicts with a former spouse or signficant other.  Neither the disputes nor the legal process are very easy to naviagte for parties involved in family law litigation.  People are frightened that they will lose their assets, their home and access to their children.  I help people move through the legal system as smoothly as possible and I advocate on their behalf to recieve the most assets and access to their children that the law provides in their specific situation.. I recognize that for the vast majority of people, mediation is a less stressful and more cost effective manner of resolving their disputes.  Therefore, I completed mediation training through the Colorado Bar Association and have been mediating family law disputes and resolving disputes for couples in conflict since 2008.

I have focused my interests, both academic and professional, within the construction law field.  I grew up working for my father’s civil construction company, eventually filling a project management position where I participated in and directed work for large energy and infrastructure clients.  This background and continued passion for the industry uniquely allow me to swiftly gain a firm practical understanding of the underlying facts of construction disputes. I brings a strong skill set of drafting agreements, motions, briefs, and pleadings to my litigation practice, while my extensive contract drafting, review, and management experience benefit clients for the life of their construction projects..

I have built a legal career working for over 12 years exclusively on cases of divorce and other family law matters. I chose the practice of family law because of my deep passion for assisting clients and their children through challenging and, oftentimes, traumatic situations. I understand that every client and family is unique and has different legal needs. My clients say I approach every case with compassion, thoughtfulness, and a solution-oriented focus. Although some family law cases must ultimately be resolved through litigation, I believe in working with clients to explore a variety of means for achieving their goals.. Here are what some past clients have said about my legal advocacy:. Francesca “Chessie” Morgan crossed my path quite by chance. One of my domestic violence advocates said, “It’s one in a million chance, but call this number (Colorado Legal Service). I called. And Chessie entered my life. Almost daily for nearly two years.. Despite my permanently moving to a rural, out-of-state mountain village with oh-so intermittent cell and internet reception, Chessie consistently gave that extra effort necessary for safe and equitable solutions.. What could have been resolved quickly took months. And months. And more months. Chessie skillfully negotiated with my contentious now ex … and his opposing counsel. She had to establish deadlines for every requisite interaction, or we’d still be in court. She never once engaged in their drama and delay tactics.. Without hesitation, I recognize and recommend Chessie as an amazing family law attorney. She is always and efficiently focused on timely resolutions. Her ability to explain the process and keep it in forward motion put me at ease. She took care of me when I couldn’t take care of myself.. It was my pleasure and an honor to work with Chessie. The Kelley Rider Goodwin firm is lucky to have her. Grateful is an understatement. Thanks, Chessie!. Another grateful client:. Just wanted to thank you for everything. I mean, truly. You not only helped and I mean helped greatly, you were so supportive. You listened to my requests and fought hard. You advised me on what and when to ask for things. And in the end, we have our home. Thank you.. A client in their own words:. You made this difficult process much easier through your honesty and integrity. I appreciate all of your effort and advice. You are truly talented.. Another example of my excellent, effective advocacy:. You working with me through this tough process has been a blessing. I have nothing but good things to say as my experience with you has been great with professionalism from communication, guidance and courage. So thank you so much!

I have been practicing law in Colorado since 1996.  I fight hard for my clients, and fervently believe in what I do.  I have never been a prosecutor, and am a defender to my core.  When in law school, I interned with the Colorado Public Defender's Office.  I chose to go into private practice because I do better with fewer cases, and can devote myself more fully to a case. I have significant experience litigating personal injury cases and take great satisfaction in obtaining strong outcomes for my clients.

As a business owner, a mother and a wife, I understand the things parents have to juggle on a daily basis. Adding a legal proceeding to the mix can feel overwhelming. The most important thing I can do for my clients is to protect their interests in a legal proceeding so they can continue to focus on their children and their jobs..
