Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Attorney Christina Lukacsy Friedman earned her B.A. in history from the University of California, Davis. After working in the financial industry and starting a family, Christina then went on to pursue her passion for family law by attending the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver. She has called Colorado home since 2012.. During law school, Christina interned for Colorado Legal Services in their Family and Children Unit, the Honorable Ross B.H. Buchanan, and was a judicial fellow for the Honorable Michael J. Vallejos in the 2nd judicial district.. Christina has dedicated her legal career to the practice of family law, which has also included estate planning. She has worked on complex family law cases including dissolutions of marriage, APRs (custody), post-decree modifications, relocations, putative and common law marriages, petitions for invalidity of marriage, and prenup invalidation and enforcement. She comes to Halligan with a comprehensive command of family law and its interplay with other areas of practice.. Christina’s strongest skills include her candor and ability to size up a situation, articulation of her client’s needs, and sensitivity to clients during what will be, for most, one of the most difficult transition stages of their lives. Christina knows first-hand the high stakes at play in family law proceedings, and her experiences have informed her own understanding and perspective of being a family law practitioner, making her a committed and dedicated advocate for her clients.. In her spare time, Christina enjoys cycling, gardening, playing piano and guitar, and spending time with her two children while taking advantage of all the outdoor splendor Colorado has to offer.

“My first priority is my clients and finding solutions that will help them move forward in life in the best possible position.”. Michelle Searcy joined Halligan in 2022. Michelle comes to the firm with over a decade of significant family law practice in Colorado. She provides her clients the knowledge and experience gathered during her ten plus years of domestic relations practice. She has handled a variety of family law cases from simple to complex, including dissolution of marriage, allocation of parental responsibilities, third-party parent cases, modifications, enforcement proceedings, child support and adoptions. Michelle also brings additional appellate experience to the firm, with both brief writing and oral arguments in the Colorado Court of Appeals as part of her skill set. Michelle enjoys practicing family law and enjoys helping clients resolve issues which have a significant impact on their families and finances.. While Michelle handles cases all over the Denver metropolitan area, her primary focus is in Denver, Adams, Jefferson, Broomfield, and Boulder County district courts. Given her level of experience, Michelle is familiar with the courts, rules, and procedures in all the metro area counties.. While being a skilled trial attorney, Michelle also prides herself on her ability to negotiate satisfactory outcomes whenever possible. From Michelle’s perspective, a negotiated settlement provides a client the ability to dictate their future, rather than letting a judicial officer, a stranger, decide. Nonetheless, she also recognizes that not all cases will settle. As such, she believes the cornerstone of good trial practice lies in thorough preparation for court. She also believes that persuasive legal writing at each step of a case can have an impact on how the judge might view matters when the day of trial comes.

I have moved to Colorado! I am currently licensed to practice law in Colorado and in Texas.. I have practiced family law (including divorce, child support, child custody, modifications, enforcements) in Texas from 1990 to 2022 and since 2022 in Colorado. I believe that treating others with respect and dignity inspires those others to treat you the same way and this motto has always served me well, both personally and professionally. I do not believe that a lawyer should create chaos or cause harm in any family. Families can indeed be "restructured" successfully - without the often permanent emotional and financial damage that some traditional family lawyers endorse.. I am very proud of my reputation for integrity with my peers (lawyers and Judges) and that reputation along with my many years of experience offers my clients unique opportunities to work through their family issues. I am able to work together respectfully with other lawyers to encourage creative and family-specific solutions for my clients. Traditional litigation can be like war in terms of harm to folks, both financially and emotionally, and it leaves permanent scars on children. There is a better way!. I have been practicing family law using the "Collaborative" method since 2004. Collaborative family matters save your sanity and your family relationships. Collaboration enables spouses or parents to process a family matter entirely outside the court system - leaving total control of the outcome of parenting and financial decisions to the spouses or parents themselves. You literally never have to step foot in a courtroom, or air your "dirty laundry" in public, or suffer the indignity of having a complete stranger (even the most well-meaning and outstanding Judge is a stranger to you) dictate to you how to manage your life, your family relationships, your children, or your finances. Check out Colorado Collaborative Divorce Professionals or Foothills Collaborative Divorce Professionals for more information.. In a Collaborative case your lawyers and other allied neutral professionals (examples of allied neutral professionals: a parenting professional, a mental health professional, a family communications facilitator, a divorce financial professional) work together to offer creative solutions and develop unique family-specific options for the spouses or parents to consider. It is like a full team effort working towards the goals set by the parents or spouses themselves at the outset of a case, and completely opposite the traditional mud-flinging, lawyer head-bashing, and anger-supporting, chaos of the courtroom environment. In a collaborative case your lawyers help you choose the allied professionals to work with during the case depending upon your own family issues and needs. These allied professionals do not represent either party but offer neutral transparent guidance and help create options for solutions to your own family issues.. Enthusiasm for the benefits offered to families by the Collaborative process among lawyers (those who prefer to be problem solvers and not those who encourage hostility and aggression), social workers, counsellors, and enlightened Judges, has really taken off across the country and in Texas we now have a well developed collaborative family law protocol and many successful collaborative practice groups. Collaborative practice groups comprise lawyers, mental health professionals, financial professionals and parenting professionals who work together in a local area and who collectively adhere to a certain set of ethical and educational policies. I update my collaborative training education every single year, participate in local and state wide collaborative groups, and am an active collaborative divorce practitioner. I strive to offer the collaborative process as an option to my divorce clients who seek a less damaging way to restructure their lives. I am also a certified mediator and able to help negotiate settlement agreements for folks who prefer to keep their misery out of the public view and who wish to make decisions for themselves and to move forward with their lives much sooner than they can with traditional litigation. There really is a better way to divorce!. I will be happy to discuss these options with you and to answer your questions!

Barlow Anderson moved to Colorado in 2011 to attend school at Denver University Sturm College of Law. After graduating in 2014, Barlow began work as an Associate Attorney at a highly reputable family law firm that specialized in fathers’ rights and large asset dissolution and allocation cases. While there, Barlow recognized an imbalance between the cost of legal representation and the clients’ needs and expectations.. Understanding much of the high cost of litigation comes from parties’ inability to proactively reach just and equitable resolution, Barlow worked toward equitable ends and kept his clients informed of their rights and responsibilities under Colorado law. After nearly two years, he began work as a Law Clerk to two District Court judges in the 18th Judicial District’s Douglas County. Assisting his judges in Criminal, Civil, Family, Probate, and Mental Health fields of law, Barlow discovered the importance of making the legal process clear and approachable to non-attorneys.. Barlow’s love for the law sprouted from personal experiences which led him to law school, but he looks for every opportunity to enjoy the real reason he moved to Colorado, his love of the outdoors.. An experienced outdoorsman, Barlow has been rock climbing, ice climbing, white water kayaking, mountain biking, and fly fishing for more than fifteen years. Whether hundreds of feet up granite cliffs or Colorado surfing (freestyle whitewater kayak surfing), he makes the most out of everything he does. But what he really looks forward to is training his now four year old son to join him on his crazy adventures.. A few times a month, Barlow teaches people to rock climb. Although he can’t get out as much as he likes to, he loves sharing his love for the sport to other people.. Barlow also has a love of Japanese culture and tradition. In addition to teaching himself Japanese language, he practices Kendo (Japanese fencing) and Iaido.. The best part about Barlow's life is his son. The six year old keeps him busy, but the two get to explore all the things they love together.

Divorce work can be trying and can also be challenging and sometimes very complicated, but because I care so much about people, I find joy in doing the job every single day. Having worked as a family law lawyer exclusively for the past 20 years I can easily say that I am an expert in my field and that I have built a team of experts that provide excellent service and top-notch legal skills. I have had the opportunity to enhance or help the lives of many individuals and their families during their most difficult and challenging times. Whether it is a divorce, a custody battle, a modification of maintenance or child support or modification of a custody or parenting time order, defense or prosecution of a contempt matter or mediation of one of those matters, I have been there to ease my client's minds and provide them with top notch legal representation (or settlement, in the event of mediations). My goal is always to negotiate an amicable settlement or resolution, but when matters require trial or court, I have a total of 24 years of litigation experience and I have taken hundreds of cases to trial. I am a published author of a legal article, a continuing legal education presenter and currently the Vice Chair of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. And a former Chair of the Colorado Bar Association's Family Law Section. My former associate, Jamie Rutten, and current associate Melina Moses have filed several appeals and with two, successful in creating or upholding new law related to non-parent paternity and maternity actions. Every year since 2011, my peers rated me as a Super Lawyer, and since 2012 I have been rated as a Top 100 Colorado Super Lawyer, a Top 50 Colorado Women Super Lawyer, and since 2015 a 5280 Top Lawyer. I have been named Best Lawyer in the family law and mediation fields by Best Lawyers, and CCB has been named a Best Firm by the same and US News. I have built multiple teams of excellent, highly-rated family law lawyers during my years as a mentor and leader of the family law section in our firm(s). I and am proud to say my team is as successful as I am at providing the specialization and expertise a client needs in a family law case. My personal specialty is working on high asset, high net-worth, high income divorce and custody matters. I also work on many divorces where business are involved, and/or complex financials, trusts, pre-nuptials and pos-nuptials, and other complex issues. My team includes ten associates, ranging in gender, age, and years of experience and we are supported by 5 experienced family law paralegals. My firm, Ciancio, Ciancio Brown, P.C. (CCB) has total of 15 attorneys that specialize in most "typical" areas of law, including business disputes, real estate, commercial and civil litigation, criminal law, personal injury law, wrongful death, and employment law. Our strengths include our "specialization" our "expertise" and our "dedication" to our clients. This gives me, my team and our firm the edge that is necessary in today's complex and challenging legal world. We practice law throughout the State of Colorado with offices located in Denver, Broomfield, and Breckenridge. Recently we also acquired a long-time all mediation/arbitration business that handles all types of family law mediations, where we offer a variety of mediators, experience, rates, hours, and all new high-tech means of scheduling and settlement procedures. If you need a legal expert I hope you consider CCB in your time of need, and I promise you'll be impressed.

I like to help clients focus on moving forward, into the lives they want to live post-divorce, including being the best co-parents they can be.

Where it is possible, I like to help parents create the new structures that are going to support all family members. The best court orders cannot tap into the creativity and problem-solving that parties, who know best what they need for themselves and for their children, can bring to the part of the process that takes place outside of a courtroom.

From defending large talent agencies against multi-million-dollar class action age discrimination in employment cases to representing mental health patients in commitment hearings, I've learned that nothing impacts a person more than their family. That is why I am so honored to be able to dedicate my practice to helping people deal with family law issues..

A firm that would zealously advocate for its clients with empathy and compassion for the entire family unit. A family business dedicated to helping families navigate through difficult times with dignity. I strive every day to help all my clients see that they are stronger than everything they were taught to fear.

Laurence I. Gendelman, Esq. was raised in the south Denver suburbs, attended Cherry Creek High School. He received his Bachelor of Arts in both Economics and Political Science as well as his Juris Doctor at the University of Colorado – Boulder.. Trained in a large family law firm, Laurence gained experience working with high-asset, high-conflict, and complex divorces and child custody issues. He also advocated for and advised clients regarding the division of complex financial assets including executive compensation packages and retirement benefits.. Inn 2016, Laurence transitioned his practice to probate, trust, estate law, working with a team of four other attorneys representing clients with estate planning, estate and trust administration, uncontested and contested guardianships and conservatorships, and probate litigation matters.. After gaining extensive experience in these practice areas and learning law firm management and operations, Laurence established Gendelman Law Group, LLC in 2017, where he represented clients in trust, estate, probate, and family law matters. In 2020, Gendelman Law Group, LLC and Klimas Law Firm, LLC, joined forces to create Gendelman Klimas, Ltd., which later merged to become Gendelman | Klimas | Edwards, Ltd., the firm Where Family is Everything.. At Gendelman | Klimas | Edwards, Ltd., Laurence continues to aggressively, yet mindfully, represent clients in the following types of cases:. - Probate Litigation- Estate and Trust Administration- Guardianships and Conservatorships- Estate Planning- Divorce and Legal Separation- Allocations of Parental Responsibilities- Post Decree Family Law (modifications of parenting time, child support, and spousal maintenance, contempt, parenting time disputes, etc.)- Marital Agreements- Premarital Agreements- Paternity/Maternity- Protection Orders- LGBTQ Family and Probate Law- Non-Traditional Family and Probate Law involving blended families, adoptive children, psychological parents, unmarried long-term partners, polyamory, etc.- Probate and Family Law Appeals. In many family law cases, probate, trust, and estate issues arise. This can take the form of:- Creating rights for alternative payees of retirement plans in the case of the death of a spouse- a spouse dying or becoming incapacitated during the pendency of a family law case- addressing the allocation of parental responsibilities concerning a child with special needs- protecting a spouse’s family inheritance in a divorce proceeding- providing analysis of the treatment of trusts in divorce proceedings- planning for child support and maintenance obligations in divorce proceedings, in the case of the death of the obligor spouse. Likewise, in many probate, trust, and estate cases, many family law issues arise. This can include:- Claims by common law or putative spouses- Addressing child support and maintenance issues after the death of the obligor- Intestacy rights and heirship for non-traditional families- Parenting of a minor whose parents are unable and/or unwilling to parent- Lack of compliance with dissolution of marriage orders creating claims in cases regarding decedent’s estates. Laurence’s expertise in both family law and probate law provide him with the unique insight and skills to address these common and intersecting, yet often overlooked issues in his client’s cases.. In working with his clients, Laurence is direct, forthright, and pragmatic. His approach to cases is functional and utilitarian, with a tireless dedication to create outcomes that provide a net benefit to his clients. This approach makes Laurence a creative and effective problem-solver, allowing his clients to usually resolve their cases without the hassle of trial. However, as a trained litigator regularly appearing in contested hearings, Laurence is always prepared for trial when the circumstances so require.

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.
