Very Happy with the Service and the Results

Michael was awesome from the first complimentary consulation through the entire process. He deftly managed a difficult respondent through the mediation, all the paperwork filing, and the decision making processes. He was very clear about the pluses and minuses of any approach we could take, and very ...fair with the fee structure. I don't think the results could have been any better.

Divorce

It’s one and only one Mike - The proficient and the BEST lawyer I have seen till date. If you have chosen Mike as your lawyer, you should just close your eyes and go ahead, such a gem he is! Before meeting Mike, I have met many lawyers and never felt that confident that they can deal with the case ev...en after having hours of sessions. Just one session with Mike made me feel that he is the only one who can deal with the case. He thinks in such a way that he puts himself in the case/issue and provides the valuable and the best advice and effort. He always updates us with each and every single info that he gets and never seen a single delay from him. And also if you are not the residents of USA, he will talk to the attorneys from your country and he makes sure that those laws are also getting applicable for the case he deals. This would be the best example of his thought process and efficiency. On top of everything Mike is very friendly, jovial and very very helpful!!! Thanks a ton MIKE!!!

Divorce

I am truly grateful for all Michael Hinds and his team has done for my family. Getting divorced was one of the most difficult times of my life. I'm so glad I had this group to represent me and support me through the process. I consistently felt like they had mine and my child's best interest and guid...ed me in the right direction. I highly recommend Michael Hinds!

Warm, Knowledgeable Attorney

My husband and I went to see Michael for a consultation regarding an existing support/custody order. We wanted to see what are options were because the court order was not being upheld by the other party. Michael really spent a lot of time with us explaining the processes, pros and cons of every scen...ario and gave us several options for moving forward. I never hesitate to bring Michael's name up to refer him for friends, family and colleagues. I would recommend him to be on your side!

Critical Review

This may not be what you are looking for but as a surgeon, I hate all lawyers and I owe them nothing. In my long experience I am hostile toward any lawyer and believe lawyers' reputations are very well deserved. Especially the divorce and custody lawyers that I've experienced in three states over the... last 25 years. In spite of that I have been asked to provide my realistic criticism of this law firm. I told them they may not know what they are asking for. However, on further thought I had to admit that 10 years ago this law firm permanently changed my five children's lives for the better forever. After a long legal struggle. This firm did it again last year after we moved back to Colorado. This firm is a product of legal wisdom and experience Fact is, if I had to do this again I could never go to another law firm. Hinds law firm corrected erroneous custody decisions in Colorado years ago when it was impossible to do so. They did it again after I moved back from two states that had prehistoric family laws designed to protect uncaring moms instead of the welfare of your children. I know from my research this law firm has influenced family law legislation in Colorado enough to change current Colorado law to become more enlightened and focused on the children. There are no other law firms in my three states let alone Denver with this kind of legacy. And the courts know this law firm. Courts know that they will represent solid cases. Especially those that have the true interest of children involved. If you come to this outfit with BS they will tell you. Trust me you need to know. Good luck Richard E, MD
