Brilliant

Gary is an incredible lawyer. He has a keen intelligence and is highly intuitive which make him a brilliant strategist. He pays close attention to details and knows when to be brief and when to paint a fuller picture. His acute sense of timing and commitment to meet that timing made all the di...fference in the world in my case which took unusual twists and turns. He hand delivered documents at the drop of a hat to get the timing right. Another time he worked hard to get a motion filed for me in a time that has proven to be the main contributing factor in my case going my direction. Gary is passionate about his work and compassionate with his clients. He walked along beside me during the craziest time of my life, was readily available and put me at ease during an uneasy time. He knew how to listen, what to say to put me at ease and when to share humor and have a laugh. He counseled me well and explained the issues clearly to me and also understood my point of view and needs throughout the whole time he worked with me. At the same time, he is humble and never makes assumptions, which are two of his greatest qualities that keep him on top of the game. Gary and his legal aid are an impeccable team and they were dedicated to getting everything right. I was well taken care of in their capable, reliable hands. My gratitude for Gary and his office continues to grow as time goes on and I realize what they did for me. They did it perfectly.

Amazing lawyer!

I am so grateful to have found Gary. For the past two years I have been in and out of court and mediation, with a narcissistic ex husband who first tried to take away my parental rights. When that failed, he attempted to punish me financially by refusing to pay the right amount of child support, hidi...ng his true income, and filing endless documents with the court in an attempt to drain what little savings he knew I had. Gary has been by my side through it all. He and his staff have been phenomenal. They are meticulous, responsive and have made sure that I never feel alone in this grueling process that has dragged on for so many years. Gary's attention to detail and many years of experience has made a world of difference in making sure the court saw that my ex was doing and not allowing him to get away with it. He also has an amazing network of highly respected experts who can give advice and testify when needed. If you need a family lawyer, I highly recommend Gary, whether you are just beginning the process or already embroiled in a mess. He will keep you focused on the big picture and fight tirelessly for what is best for you and your family. The expertise, professionalism and support of Gary and his staff have been such a blessing for me and my children!

Highly recommend

I was so grateful that I found Gary and his team for my custody case. I was referred to Gary when I posted an ad on the local Facebook page for services. Gary really listened and investigated thoroughly the information for my case. He was very confident in his abilities and his team was very prof...essional. He was prepared with all necessary documentation to present to the judge. He was honest, respectful and well educated to handle my unique case. I felt confident going into my court hearing with him on my team. He helped to win my kids back in the custody battle I was fighting with my ex, that was unjust. I was very impressed with his integrity throughout the entire process and how he presented himself. He understood because he has kids himself the intensity of the situation. I would highly recommend Gary and his team for legal counsel. He is very trustworthy and knowledgeable in his expertise.

A hardworking attorney with a knack for detail

Gary graciously took on my custody case three months into it after I had to fire a different attorney because he did nothing but mess up my case worse! My ex-husband took our 3 kids for his parenting time for a month in the summer and instead of giving them back filed to restrict my parenting time (I...’m the custodial parent 88% of the time) claiming I beat and sexually molested my children (WITH NO PROOF). From the day that Gary accepted my case, he dived in head first and found out every detail there was to know about my case already so that he could start to unravel the mess. He and his staff worked tirelessly for several months until the next court hearing, filing everything possible to try to get the court’s attention so that the real details of the case could come out instead of only the muddled lies my ex-husband’s attorney was feeding the court and getting away with. Gary and his staff are absolutely AMAZING!! I honestly feel like they are a part of my family. They were in constant communication with me so that I was always updated on what was going on, which my first attorney wouldn’t even return my calls or emails. I really felt involved in the process because of the strong communication and incredible amount of effort Gary put into my case. Gary was not only in communication with me but also my children’s therapists, my therapist, CPS case worker, law enforcement, my ex-husband’s lawyer, etc. so that he had every bit of information he could get to use in court. It was evident from the time that Gary agreed to take on my intricate case that he was dedicated to revealing the truth and getting my kids back to me where they deserved. On the day of court, I was able to see all of Gary’s hard work and dedication shine through. He remembered the small details of my case that made a huge impact in front of the judge. Gary is ABSOLUTELY the reason that I have my kids back with me today. If it wasn’t for his strong work ethic, huge heart and dedication to my case, my ex-husband would have continued to get away with his lies. However, Gary would not be undermined and always fought to get the truth. I HIGHLY recommend Gary for help with your case. He exceeded all of my expectations and turned my case around when I had no hope of ever getting my kids back.

Solid Legal Representation

Attorney Pulitzer is an experienced family law attorney, practicing in Colorado for over 20 years. Mr. Pulitzer represented me as the respondent in my divorce case back in August, 2009. At that time, Mr. Pulitzer suggested and I agreed to a mediator, and we were able to quickly finalize the divor...ce settlement. My impression at that time was that Mr. Pulitzer was fair, straight-forward, and realistic in his approach to divorce settlement. He is thoughtful, carefully choosing his words and being terse, and straight to the point both in his oral and written communications. His costs are average and not onerous. I am pleased to write this review, because in my divorce settlement, Mr. Pulitzer included a "cohabitation clause" stipulation, exactly specifying the conditions needed to be met in order to terminate alimony. In May of 2012, I once again contacted Mr. Pulitzer for I thought those conditions now existed. We met, and he then proceeded to call an experienced private investigator for the necessary surveillance work to build our case. Over the next few months we gathered enough evidence to show that my ex-wife was cohabitating. With that, Mr. Pulitzer carefully advised me to stop alimony payments in September 2012. There was of course, marked resistance on part of my ex - wife and her legal counsel, but Mr. Pulitzer was calm and professional through it all. From September to December 2012, Mr. Pulitzer was able to successfully defend our position that the cohabitation clause was met, and alimony should be terminated. He successfully prevented my ex-wife from garnishing my wages at my work-place. He successfully defended me against a contempt of court motion on part of my ex-wife. Finally, in December of 2012, he successfully defended me in court. Mr. Pulitzer was absolutely phenomenal in court, winning the case, and having the alimony permanently terminated. Even through all of that, he attempted to make a settlement agreement with my ex-wife, giving her multiple chances to agree to an out of court settlement, but when that was finally exhausted, he admirably defended my position in court, and alimony was terminated. I have seen Mr. Pulitzer in his role as being my legal counsel in a divorce mediation, in his role as defending me in court, and in winning my case. Now, I see him as a good friend, a wonderful husband and good father as well. He is a genuinely good person, trustworthy, able, competent, fair, and as honest as you can get, and that is hard to find these days. I have no reservations whatsoever that Mr. Pulitzer, Gary, is the one to turn to in matters of Family Law, and he is highly recommended, from one professional to another, he is simply the best legal counsel out there today.
