I highly recommend Justin Ross

In the most challenging personal times, it is essential to have an attorney that you can count on to help you make the right decisions. Justin Ross is that man. Justin has represented me in family law, criminal law (for my minor son), and personal injury matters. In each circumstance I was more than ...pleased with the outcome. HIs ethical, personable, professional demeanor make all the difference. He truly cares about people and it is evident in the way he does his job. He took the time to listen, understand, and explain everything so that I could be confident in making each decision, every step of the way. I knew I was in good, experienced, trustworthy hands.

Exceptional service under very unique circumstances involving military benefits

Justin Ross assisted me with finalizing my divorce. Initally, Justin informed me that he was not sure if he would be able to assist me as my case what a little unique. The circumstances were that my divorce was completed in 2006 in Denver; however, the division of Marital property was delayed due to... military service. Today 9 years later my formal spouse had recently retired and lives in Germany, and I live in the state Florida. Justin became familiar with military law as well as the process used by the courts in 2006 to delay the division of marital property (Soldiers and Sailors Act). Justin was able to resolve the division of property, and also ensured that I received all the benefits to which I was entitled. He and his team did not quit once the case was settled, he came the case open until I began to receive my benefits from DFAS. Thank you Justin for making what could have been an ugly situation a very plesant experience. Your legal expertise, professionalism and commitment to my case did not go unnoticed and if ever I or any of my loved ones or friends are in need of an attorney you will be my first recommendation. If you are looking for an attorney that will give you honest feedback, excellent advise and ensure that your interest are protected. I recommend you give Justin Ross a call.

Justin Steele Ross a Competent Divorce Attorney.

I had an outstanding experience with Justin Ross for my divorce. I am a woman in my late 40's and I live in Summit County. He was able to help me handle this difficult time in my life. Justin caught every important detail that was legally appropriate. I am able to live comfortably with my two childr...en and the good parenting plan that he put in place for me. Financially, he divised an excellent maintenance plan, business pay off, child support and lump sum for me. Along with his outstanding legal advice, Justin is a kind, caring, compassionate, intelligent and competent attorney. I am so pleased with Justin's legal work. I recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

Civil Case/Motion To Reconsider and Extend Maritial Maintenance/

I highly recommend Justin for anyone who is in need of an outstanding litigator. He is honest and forthright. His personal touch with our case kept us from getting too emotional and off target. Although at times we were frustrated by his unwillingness to argue OUR points or argue in a manner WE th...ought he should, He was absolutely right on. At no time did we feel he didn't have our back. He was able to keep our emotions out of the courtroom and adjust and adapt with ease to opposition cousels arguements. I feel he won every re-direct and that each time our opposition opened their mouths they were only feeding Justin with more ammunition. He is simply outstanding in the courtroom and thrives on that pressure. He prepared us for the worst case scenerio while giving us some hope that all was not lost. I hope that if I ever need another lawyer that he is still available. I believe with his victory in this case Justin Ross has given hope to every person ordered to pay modifiable maintenance in the entire state of Colorado. I believe him to be THE GUY in the state on this topic. His handling of this case has instilled in me a belief that the system can still work and that everyone should know a great lawyer. I sure do.

He was a crucial element in bring my family back together.

Being typical suburban parents our assumptions of the law were completely inaccurate. Human services follows a set of rules and guidelines that to this day I still do not completely understand. That is where Justin exceeded my expectations as a family lawyer. His knowledge and experience were crit...ical in achieving such a positive result in this whole situation. I will not go into the specifics of the case but as a father of two beautiful boys my emotions were all over the place and Justin took the time to address all my questions; no matter how sensible or unreasonable they were. He was nothing but a perfect example of what I required in a lawyer, not just to my family but also in the court room. His attention to detail when it came to arguing against opposing council was astonishing. Again, without going into great detail, our case was dismissed. Human services backed out and let us resume what would be considered a normal family life. This could not have occurred if Justin had not been involved. He was a crucial element in bring my family back together.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Justin is a great attorney to work with. He is smart, practical, and really looks out for his client's best interests. His goal is to truly help his clients find a resolution that will work for them, not to run up his bill. He believes in solutions, not creating more problems, and that is one of the most important traits a family lawyer can have. If a case does need to go to hearing, he will thoroughly represent his client. He is just as good in a mediation room as in a court room. You would do well to have Justin as your attorney."

Family lawyer | Dec 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Justin has a keen sense of how a case, with its unique set of facts, should be developed. Many attorneys neglect developing a strategy for each case-Justin does not. He also strives to find a solution to an issue at hand which will work to his client's favor without the opposing side feeling a "loss" - ie., he can "sell" his strategy for resolution. He is amiable and professional to other attorneys and to his clients. I enjoyed working with him very much."

Litigation lawyer | Jul 28

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Justin is capable beyond his years. Justin has litigated criminal felony cases, juvenile matters, Dependency and Neglect matters, civil rights (including such in federal court), and personal injury matters. He is able to quickly and accurately assess the landscape in complex cases, and counsel the client accordingly. He has a great sense of fairness and justice, and works tirelessly to achieve these golas for the client. Justin is a great person, and a great lawyer."

Litigation lawyer | Jul 12

Relationship: Co-worker

"Justin was ready to litigate the day he stepped into our lawfirm and quite likely well before that. In litigation, he is fearless without being reckless, practical without being callous, and tactical while still maintaining his common sense. In more than one case, he has argued so reasonably to the court that the Judge gave relief more favorable to his client than either of them ever expected. He knows exactly which battles to fight and which to negotiate and is always prepared to do both!"

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I think the highest compliment I can give other attorneys is referring clients to them. The people I refer business to reflect on my reputation as an attorney in the community. If I send a potential client to someone I don't trust, I am not serving the client. Therefore, I am happy to say that I frequently refer clients to Justin Ross because of his solid reputation in the legal community."
