I have been a practicing attorney for over 20 years. Most of my legal career has been focused on family law; however, I started my litigation experience in San Diego as a prosecutor. I also worked as an attorney for the United Nations Mission in Kosovo and taught International Law at the University of Denver. I converted my love of family law and international law into a practice of International Family Law. About 30% of our practice at Frost & Beck, PC, involves an international component; 60% of our practice is domestic family law inclucing child custody and divorce, and 10% of our practice is family law appeals. I have won appeals in the 10th Federal Circuit; Colorado Court of Appeals and California Court of Appeals. As of January 18, 2016, I have never lost an appeal.

Horrible attitude. I would recommend choosing your attorney wisely. Do a few consultations and do not settle for burnt out crabby lawyers. Make sure they listen to you and work for you. I found another attorney and it was like a weight being lifted immediately. Some attorneys do care, do have people ...

She dropped me near the end of my case and demanded payment at the end. I tried to negotiate the amount owed, bug she would not budge. She was completely heartless and cold. I would not recommend.

Christelle Beck represented me for a child custody and child support case. She was phenomenal and the opposing counsel didnt stand a chance. She was organized, prepared and ready for the fight. I went from barely seeing my children and having to pay child support to getting nearly full custody, and r...

I too had Christelle Beck represent me in my child support case. This woman is a complete idiot. She dragged my case on for years, alleviating me of $70,000. This was a simple child support case that a later attorney settled for me for under 10k when she resigned from my case. The judge called he...
I have no clue who you are but we are very sorry that you had a bad experience.

Christelle handled my child support case and opposed a renowned Colorado "Super Lawyer". I actually feared my ex's attorney until Christelle took the reins. In the process she won the case with flying colors, and in an expedited fashion. She really exceeded my expectations. I would, and do, recomme...
"I have worked with Ms. Beck for the last several years. She is an exceptional attorney. She is knowledgeable, professional and a zealous advocate for her client's. I endorse Ms. Beck with enthusiasm."
"Christelle is a rare expert in this obscure intersection of family and international law. Highly recommend in any matters concerning registration of foreign domestic/civil or otherwise judgments in Colorado."
"I endorse this lawyer. She has rightfully earned her reputation as an authority in family law issues, especially international family law."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Attorney Beck. Whenever I have an international family law issue, Attorney Beck is the person I consult. She is an extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough family law attorney."
"Christelle is extremely intelligent and is a tenacious advocate. I like her litigation style very much. I turn to her often, in particular for clients who are headed for complex issues that have a high liklihood of appeal and I don't hesitate to contact her for second opinions on my own tough cases. She is fair and strong. I haven't seen her make a bad call yet."
"Christelle Beck is an amazing advocate for her clients. She is knowledgeable and thoughtful in her representation of clients in all areas of Family Law and Employment Law."
