The best team mate for guidance during a difficult time

Jolein and her office handled my divorce and I am so grateful that I had her team to lead me through the whole process. They were able to explain how each process would happen and I felt incredibly prepared because all of my documentation was presented early and all of my questions were answered. J...ust having their guidance and experience during a difficult time was incredibly comforting. She has experience working with most judges in Denver and understands how they want the cases presented to keep things concise and moving in a positive direction. I am incredibly grateful for her services and would recommend to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer.

Professionalism at its best!

During a sensitive time in my life when I was faced with not only a divorce but being new to Colorado, I found myself very frustrated and lost when it came to finding a good lawyer. After many phone calls to lawyers in the Denver area, it was a relief to find Ben Aussenberg and Jolein Harro whom li...stened to my concerns and took my case. From day one, Ben was on top of his game and I had the opportunity to watch his representation skills in front the of judge. I was quite impressed and I knew from that moment that I was in good hands. The divorce from start to finish was seamless. The entire team was professional and they understood time management. Thank you to Ben for his support and professionalism. I highly recommend this team.

Please be careful before you hire this firm.

I would not recommend Jolein Harro's law firm. I was in a vornurable situation and Jolein's assistants knew it and were convincing and convincing me that I need to hire Jolein. I gave up, I was silly and scared and hired her. I gave her all my savings I had in this world, $4000. That money was spent ...with no results. For example, when I went to court, not only her assistants forgot to send the judge my paperwork, but after I talked to the judge, she started her sentence with these exact words: " I don't know what your lawyer has been telling you, but here is the real truth..." What the judge told me was a big diffrence from what Jolein with all confidence has been telling me. I'm very sad I sliped and was so vornurable to allow this firm to have so much control over me. I understand Jolein and Zuzu have families and bills too and have got to take care of their family first. But in this case, it was mine life on the line, my life, that got very difficult. After I raen out of money and I really did give Jolein everything I had, I had no choice than to ask my separated husband for help. The one I was divorcing, yeah. I wish I used this money to start a life on my own and pay for my school. I'm very upset I made this decision to hire her firm. I believe she and Zuzu are very smart and probably good people besides their work. But please, don't make the same mistake I did. No matter what situation you are in, don't just believe anybody because they promise you something that's not truth and you are worried about your life.

Caution

I retained Jolein's office in a divorce I was initiating. Over the course of seven weeks, my $4,000 retainer was spent, over $2,000 of which was spent without my consent on a private investigator hired to serve my husband, and they are asking me for another $2,000. I ended up serving him without his ...assistance, yet they still used over half of my retainer for this. They mailed me confidential case-related paperwork meant for another client. When I left my home shared with my husband, I informed them I was moving and provided my forwarding address. I followed every instruction and piece of advice the Harro firm gave me to a T. I communicated openly and in a timely manner to every request they made of me until I switched law firms due to the serious mistreatment of my case, as well as another client's. They sent case related paperwork to my husband for months after repeatedly being advised of my new address, and he used this paperwork to call and harass me in violation of a protection order. The attorney I worked with left Jolein's firm in the beginning stages of my case (immediately following the first of two hearings I had while represented by the Harro firm), and I followed her. She managed to start and finish a separation agreement and the final divorce decree and no further information that compromised attorney client privilege had been mailed to the wrong address or the wrong client. Simply put, my case was poorly handled by the Harro firm. Another client's case was also mishandled, as I received confidential paperwork meant for them at my former residence. I returned this paperwork to my attorney and advised her I was seriously second guessing my decision to retain the Harro firm. It was at this time she told me she was leaving for a different firm. I followed her and have no regrets about that.

Very pleased

I was referred to Jolein Harro by a friend who had retained her to assist in changing a parenting plan (through a different attorney) and increasing child support. My friend had nothing but good things to say about she was treated, plus she had a great outcome in court. Jolein and her staff assisted... me with my complicated divorce, involving several pieces of real estate, a self-employed business, inherited money, assets from a previous marriage, and a difficult spouse with her attorney. Jolein has a talent for cutting through the complexities and explaining what needs to be done and how to get there. She even returned calls or emails on weekends and evenings! Jolein is a true professional and put me at ease through the whole process. Her experience in dealing with these matters helped keep the costs down, as she had seen it all before and didn't have to learn as she went along. Anyone going through a divorce or who needs help with custody issues should use Jolein!

"I have come up against Ms. Harro in a couple of cases and against her associates in other cases. She is the consummate professional as an attorney and she hires good attorneys to serve as her associates. She is a master of the world of family law. As someone who has presided as a magistrate and judge over family law cases myself, I am incredibly impressed with her knowledge and her kind approach to her clients. I have actually referred opposing parties to her just recently. You will be in excellent hands with Ms. Harro and her firm."
