Best Divorce Lawyer in the Denver Area

I hired Suzanne to represent me in a high conflict divorce after not being completely satisfied with my initial lawyer. My ex-spouse had been divorce-planning for several months and was making every possible allegation you can think of in an effort to get primary custody our two children. When I hi...red Suzanne I had my back against the ropes and was getting my butt kicked. Suzanne and her team jumped in and turned the case around completely. Suzanne is absolutely brilliant! She can distill complicated information down to the essential elements and present it in a way that is the most compelling to the court. She is extremely hard working and responsive to emails and phone calls. She has an excellent memory and can remember and draw on any detail about my case at a moment’s notice. She is extremely good in court on direct and cross and I feel sorry for any lawyer going up against her. She has a very good support team around her. One of the most critical factors in my case (and a suspect many cases) was credibility. My ex-spouse was extremely unreasonable throughout the entire process and lost credibility with the judge, PRE and mediator because of it. Suzanne did an excellent job of not only managing the case but also managing me. She pushed back on me at all the right times and steered me in a direction that allowed me to accomplish my goals. In my view, this was one of the critical factors that allowed me to get such great results. My ex-spouse hired a string of three separate lawyers who all told her what she wanted to hear and none of them were able to save her from herself. Thanks to Suzanne and her unbelievable team, I was able to get equal parenting time, joint decision making and a maintenance agreement that was reasonable. If you want to hire someone that will tell you what you want to hear and waste all your money, keep looking. If you want to hire someone that calls it like it is and wins, I don't think you will find a better divorce lawyer in Denver than Suzanne. She is simply the best!

Best in Denver! (perhaps best in Colorado)

I retained Suzanne (following a recommendation by Sheila Gutterman) after firing a 'highly recommended, high profile' atty/firm who didn't have a clue about complex matters w/r to complex real estate ownership and financial issues. I was 30 days from the hearing date and she put her staff on my case... like a Los Angeles SWAT team hitting a huge drug bust--absolutely phenomenal results--especially given the short time suspense. She always consulted me and kept me informed w/r to all strategy and tactical aspects of the case. Opposing counsel in my case was so impressed that he recommended her to 'Dr Phil'. She is, in my opinion the absolute best attorney in Denver for cases like mine--high net worth/complex finances. She is NOT an hourly wage earner--she is solution driven by her nature until she can 'triangulate' on the opposition's strategy/position-(better than they do, in my opinion) and then she outthinks/outworks them until the job is done to the client's satisfaction. I have recommended her to dear friends and she has done them very well indeed. NONE better--hyperbole intended....

"Suzanne is one of the best high-conflict attorneys out there. I worked with her for 3 years before starting my own practice and can state with certainty that her style has influenced me greatly. For a very high asset case, especially one involving family trusts, Suzanne is your best bet. Her reputation preceeds her especially in Arapahoe and Douglas counties."
