I hired Megan Sheer after meeting with several of the top family law attorneys in Denver. My case was high conflict with custody and assets involved. It was the most stressful time in my life. She and her team did an excellent job. What set her apart was her understanding of my family’s needs, her ab...

Megan has been a savior for us in a very high conflict case. I'm not sure how we would have gone through the past few years without her help. Simply put, she treats every decision and fight as if she were making and doing it for her own family and children.

I hired Ms. Sherr for a divorce proceeding. She had me hire an outside financial consultant as this was not part of her expertise. I realized going through the process that I received poor or mis-information from her where it involved financial issues when the outside consultant was not there or co...

Megan Sherr is a really fantastic lawyer. When we found her, our case was in very poor shape. We'd been badly represented by our prior attorneys and our chid was really suffering. My ex was extremely aggressive and our prior attorneys had failed to respond to a motion that left our child unprotect...

I'm currently a client of Ms. Sherr's and couldn't be happier with her perfessionalism and knowledge of the law. This has been a nasty divorce at best and Ms. Sherr has always been straight forward and honest. She has never sugar coated anything and explained everything in great detail. She follow...
"I've worked with Megan previously as opposing counsel and in the alternative dispute resolution context. Megan is astute with the law and an asset to her clients. Megan has the ability to negotiate meaningful and advantageous settlements for her clients, while maintaining the skill-set required to take matters to trial when necessary. I endorse Megan's family law practice without hesitation."
"Megan is a fantastic attorney. She is a pleasure to work with, she is sharp, and she is a fierce advocate for her client. She takes well-reasoned positions. I do not hesitate to refer clients her way."
"I unreservedly and enthusiastically endorse Megan. I have had the pleasure to work with her over many years on a number of challenging cases where I was the mediator and she represented one of the divorcing parties. Megan's easy empathy and extraordinary concern and care for her client is evident throughout her representation. At the same time, she is extremely bright and creative and she offers constructive and realistic approaches to settlement discussions -- a sometimes rare and enormously beneficial-to-the-client approach. I consider Megan one of a very few Denver area family law attorneys possessing the skills of client patience, focus and advocacy, settlement realism and creative brilliance. She is simply a uniquely talented family law attorney."
"Over the past 10 years I have referred many friends and clients to Megan and her office. Every person I refer to Megan ends up being very satisfied and thanking me for the introduction. Megan has the experience and expertise to handle the most complicated set of circumstances and the tenacity to stand up for her client's interest. She and her staff are truly there to help their clients get the best possible outcome. They are responsive to questions and follow through on all aspects of the case. She is well respected by not only opposing counsel, but also Judges across the state. I will continue to refer people who need the best divorce and family law attorney to Megan. She has my complete trust."
"I recently observed Megan as a co-presenter to fellow lawyers in Colorado. At this statewide conference, she gave an extremely thorough and articulate presentation on professionalism in the workplace and courtroom. She is intelligent, passionate, and very highly thought of in the legal community. I would endorse Megan to anyone looking for a family law attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Highly professional and highly competent. She is one of the best I have worked with and is a tremendously skilled adversary."
"Megan is very smart and listens to the concerns of her clients before she decides on an approach. She can handle complex cases very effectively and is known for leveling the playing field against financially stronger opponents."
