Fantastic!!!
Kim brings a rugged grace to everything. We recently worked together on a very contentious case. Kim was exacting, efficient, and kind. It’s like the death blow had been dealt ( by Kim) but you were happy about it because she was subtle. I would definitely work with her again.

Effective and Straight-Forward
During a high conflict and emotionally charged divorce, Kim remained the calm in the storm to help get me through the rough road of divorce. She clearly explained the process, defined the parameters of the law and fought for me and my children's' best interests. I truly appreciated her candidness a...

Exemplary!
When it came to my custody battle hiring Kim Utesch was the best decision I ever made. She was aggressive, sensitive, professional, and extremely organized while handling my case. Dealing with the other party was extremely difficult and tiresome, Kim intervened and was able to be my voice when I need...

Excellent!!!
Kim is a passionate and realistic lawyer. She will not promise you anything that cannot be achieved. I was very impressed with her availability. Her responses to my questions were IMMEDIATE in many cases. That fact alone is impressive if we keep in mind that she runs her office without any assistance...

I would hire her again.
Ms. Utech did an awesome job for me. She was able to settle the case.
Kimberly A.S. Utesch's Lawyer Endorsements
"Kim is an excellent attorney and detail-oriented, experienced, and thorough child and family investigator. Kim's settlement-oriented approach and mediation credentials provide value to her client's cases with a broad range of strategies. I fully endorse this attorney."
"I couldn't decide upon a practice area to recommend Kim for because she does so much and does it all brilliantly. She's a Child and Family Investigator, she's a mediator and she's an excellent litigator. She is extremely intelligent and simply amazing."
"Ms. Utesch is an excellent family law attorney. She works extremely hard for her clients, and cares deeply about her cases. She is also a fabulous CFI. I would recommend her to anyone."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"Kim was recently appointed as a C.F.I. in a case I had in Weld County. Although my client was on the losing end, I will say that Ms. Utesch was very easy to work with and did a fantastic job in her Report. Her findings and recommendations were well-written, easy to follow, logical, and comprehensive. I will use her again in the future."
"Excellent CFI with exceptionally well-researched and written reports."
"I know Kim to be fearless when taking on hard cases. She covers a lot of bases in the family law arena as a mediator and a CFI as well as an advocate. I happily endorse her as a colleague."
"Kim is a well-respected member of the family law community. Her experience as a child and family investigator and mediator bring a unique and welcome perspective to any family law case."
"I have contacted Kim on a few occasions to obtain her insight into a case or a proceeding. She is hands down at the top of my list for family law attorneys in Colorado and I always learn something from her even though I've been in practice longer. I cannot recommend her enough. She is excellent."
"Kim is a top family attorney. Whenever I have a gnarly situation or tough question, I ask Kim first."
"Kim is one of top five family law attorneys on my list to refer cases. I do not practice family law and she has been a valuable resource in making sure my clients are protected and represented in all legal arenas."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Utesch is a very knowledgeable and effective advocate for her clients."
"I endorse Kimberly. She is smart, knowledgeable, and cares about her cases."
"Kimberly "Kim" Utesch is a superb family law attorney. I worked with Kim at a previous firm and experienced her drive, skill, and work ethic first hand. I highly endorse Kim for child custody, divorce, and child support cases and related issues, such as protection orders, contempt, and enforcement of orders. Kim is a "lawyer's lawyer". Because she is a good attorney, she understands that "sweating the details" wins cases. She leaves no stone unturned as she works tirelessly for her clients. Her depth and breadth of legal knowledge is amazing. She knows what will work, and what won't work, in Colorado family law cases. She keeps abreast of all new family law cases, statutes, and rules and is never "out of date" on the law. A client is in good hands if he or she hires Kim to assist him or her in a family law case."
"Kim is incredibly resourceful, intelligent, and cares deeply about her clients. She is well-respected in the family law community and has a very diverse background in litigation, mediation, and as a Child and Family Investigator. I enjoy working with her."
"Kim is an excellent issue-spotter who has the necessary expertise to help her clients analyze the various issues in their case and reach a resolution. In the event a settlement is not possible, she has the courtroom skills required to take cases to trial and win. She is kind and down to earth, and (as an attorney who does not do family law) I frequently recommend her."
"I endorse this lawyer. My cases involve students with disabilities and when my clients need help with divorce/custody issues, Kim is the attorney I refer them to. I trust that she works for the best outcomes for kids. She is my go-to Family Law attorney. She has never let me down."
"I highly endorse Kim! I have consulted Kim when I have legal questions. She is knowledgeable about many different areas of law, and is one of the most thoughtful, caring, and trustworthy people I know. I would (and have) recommended her services to friends and family."
"I worked with Kim several years ago. She is highly knowledgable in her fields of expertise and thorough on her research. Kim truly cares about her client's cases and is very straightforward in advising her clients. I endorse this attorney."
