I have been an attorney in Colorado since 1974. My field of practice was very broad until 1990. I was a partner with a large Denver commercial litigation firm and represented the Union Pacific Railroad and other corporate and individual clients in state and federal courts for 16 years.
In 1990, I started my own firm inthe Denver Tech Center and have worked exclusively in the area of Family Law. I chose this area because I enjoy the personal interaction more than representing corporate clients. I believe my litigation experience is more extensive than most family law attorneys. I have litigated over 500 cases. However, I believe the most effective resolution for the benefit of the client involves negotiated settlements, whenever possible.
I try to work "collaboratively" with other attorneys to reach resolutions that are fair and amicable to both parties, if possible.

A Personal Advocate
Though divorce is never easy, Mike made the process as painless as possible. He and his staff were invaluable in navigating the mounds of paperwork and documentation and the deadlines required by the CO court system. Mike is without a doubt an expert in the legal aspects of a divorce but he’s more ...
"Even in high-conflict cases, Mike has the ability to navigate the complexities of and emotions of family law. He's tough when the situation calls for litigation and creative and open in a settlement context. That's a tough balance and one that not many attorneys in family law have achieved."
"Mike was opposing counsel on a case in which high emotions constantly threatened to derail negotiations. His polite but firm demeanor helped the parties reach an agreement with minimal costs to both sides. I strongly endorse Mike."
"I recently worked with Mike on a dissolution of marriage matter. Although tensions and conflict often rise in such cases, Mike is excellent at aggressively advocating for his client while maintaining the utmost level of professionalism. Mike was also great at trying to keep the parties focused on the issues at hand rather than the conflict itself, which is of benefit to everyone in the case, especially the children."
"I strongly endorse Michael Wadle. Michael represents his clients with a very high level of personal concern. Truly an excellent lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Michael Wadle and I have had cases for many years. michael is not only a skilled advocate but also an attorney with the highest integrity. Michael's word is golden to me and he represents all that is honorable about the profession. Family law is a very emotional area to practice in and his temperment is well suited to amicable resolutions and keeping passions under control."
"Michael is not only knowledgable of the law, but also very compassionate of his clients and well prepared. He is well respected in his community."
