Appeals 20%

A case can be appealed if there is reason to believe an incorrect ruling was made due to a misinterpretation of the law, misapplication of a rule, an erroneous admission of evidence, or a lack of evidence to support the court’s ruling. You cannot successfully appeal a decision just because you do not like the outcome. An appeal must be based on a claim that the result is erroneous due to a mistake on the part of the judge or malfeasance on the part of your attorney.

Best family law attorney

I am the Mother. The divorce was final when the child was 2 years old. I was struggling to fight my narcissistic ex for 5 years for post-divorce issues like school choice, medical providers, etc.. with different law firms without fair results until I was recommended Joe Antolinez through my friend. H...e handled the post-divorce issues and redesign entire case to benefit our child and protect me from the difficult Father. I've divorced 10 years, and he is the one I would recommend for any case. Please stay away from Denver court if you want to protect your mothers rights. Denver is too liberal. Thank you. Lana

Retracted review

Joe did good in the juvenile court system! Once case got moved to the main court he failed miserably possibly even showing up to court high! I lost my kids to another state because of him and have 0 rights to them due to his lack of ability to fight for me, when that is what you pay him for! Do not h...ire this die hard Republican from a third world country?

Excellent D&N attorney in child custody case

Joe took over my case; I was losing my kids to my ex Joe advised me to fight this case; He is trustworthy in the attorney world- He seemed to care about the case and showed confidence in courtroom - Joe solely took on 3 lawyers and a social worker all in agreement for me to not have my children and w...on them back for me- He worked hard and diligently to show how ruthless & corrupt this child services department is (Douglas County) Would definitely recommend Joe to anyone in a similar situation- He will fight hard to get you your kids back!

Fantastic attorney

Joe has been amazing for my children and I. After going through a few lawyers, he was hands down the most skilled of any I worked with. My ex-spouse got what he deserved which was essentially nothing. He was a strong advocate for my children and clearly understood our situation. He did a great job co...rnering my ex-husband in all of his lies and I would recommend him to any single mother, fighting for what is best for her children.
