Top Best Family Lawyers | 21033 Available

Serving the greater Boulder/Denver, Colorado metro areas and Las Vegas, Nevada.  Whether you are considering a prenup (or post-nuptial agreement), ending a current relationship, or trying to understand your legal rights and obligations with respect to your children (parenting time shares, financial support), division of assets, property, income or debt, there are few legal issues more intimate and meaningful than those involving your family.. I work hard to provide you with the information you need to make decisions which best serve your family's needs.  But knowing how the law defines your rights and obligations is just one piece of the puzzle. What is most important to you, is another.. My priority is helping you to identify your personal goals. Making those goals a reality is our job, together..

CLIENT REPRESENTATION: I am passionate about helping people find solutions and resolve issues so they can reach agreement during what is typically the most difficult time in their lives.  At the same time, I understand and prepare for the fact that in certain cases, it's necessary to go to court and have a judge make decisions about issues that simply cannot be agreed upon.  When going to, and preparing for, court, I aggressively represent my client's interests so the best results can be obtained.  I pride myself on being completely prepared for court as there are always surprises that come up.  It's also crucial that my client is prepared and knowledgeable about what is going to happen in court so that his/her testimony is on point, truthful, accurate and credible.. My practice has been focused on family law in Boulder, Denver, Adams, Broomfield, Jefferson, and Larimer Counties for over 30 years.  I have been representing clients and performing mediations and arbitrations during that time.  I understand how difficult it is for people going through the dissolution and post-dissolution process and will tailor my representation of you, or your mediation or arbitration process accordingly.. During my many years of practice, I have been able to settle most cases without causing unnecessary damage to future relationships.  I have an undergraduate degree in Finance.  I understand and am comfortable dealing with complex financial issues that often arise in cases.. MEDIATION:  In all family law cases, whether initially, or in subsequent proceedings, Colorado courts require that parties mediate before seeking relief in court.  I have been mediating and arbitrating family law cases for over 20 years.  My approach tends to be focused and to the point, while at the same time understanding that these are emotionally difficult times for people, and sensitivity to all that is going on is very important.  I listen carefully to what the parties are saying and feeling, and work to help them reach agreements that are in the best interests of their families.  It's always a great risk, financially and otherwise, to present important, life altering decisions to a judge who may only hear the parties speak for a few hours before making these important decisions for the parties.. Evening and weekend appointments available.

A native New Yorker, Clyde grew up on Long Island. Tired of the cold weather, Clyde decided to attend law school in Miami. After a couple of years, Clyde realized he missed living in a city that had four seasons; however, he was conflicted about returning to New York, as he did not miss the traffic. Clyde compromised on Colorado, where he has practiced family law for four years where he has helped many clients through a difficult and uncertain period of their lives.. Prior to attending law school, Clyde worked as a litigation paralegal for Animal Rights Attorney. Together they represented dogs who were deemed dangerous and scheduled to be euthanized by local towns. Using state pet trust statutes, they were able to gain legal standing to represent the dog, rather than the original owner. Representing the dog rather than the owner made many of the local towns more willing to settle their cases as the towns did not have to fear the dog being returned to an often irresponsible dog owner.. A common failing among family law attorneys is that they do not spend enough time with their clients going over the facts. I believe it is an attorney’s job to comprehend their client’s struggles and convey those struggles to the court in a clear and concise manner. An attorney is an advocate for your story, and you need an attorney who is well versed in the facts to tell your story.
