Professional, Caring and Compassionate

Jolein and her entire office (Ben, Dianne, and Mark) are a wonderful team! They went above and beyond in helping me navigate a very challenging time. Their professionalism, kindness, and sincere empathy helped me move through a difficult and emotional situation to achieve a fair and equitable outcome.... I respect and highly recommend this team!

Very Professional, Thorough and Efficient

The firm was recommended by an attorney that I have known for many years. They represented my son in a custody case that could not be resolved in arbitration and had been referred to a judge. They began working on the case immediately when hired as the due date for court was only 12 days away. The...y were able to file the necessary documents with the court, assist my son with his parenting plan and talk to the mother of the child. As a result of these actions a custody settlement and parenting plan was reached in advanced of the court date and signed by both parties. The plan was in agreement with my son's wishes. We would definitely hire the firm again if the need arises.

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.

Very complicated case, wouldn't have won without her

Custody battles are expensive, complicated and require as much effort from the client as the lawyer in the best of cases. Mine was far from the best, but Jolein helped me win. I live out of state, and I'm the father, and his mother was not very forthcoming with facts. It was a steep uphill climb. ... Overall, the case lasted about 18 months. We produced about a thousand pages of documentation by the time all was said and done, organized into binders, and were very familiar with the materials, so that if a mistruth was represented, it was able to be immediately disproven with accepted documentation. We needed documentation from his schools, therapists, and several experts. It was a very daunting task, very difficult. But it was worth every sheet of paper, every dollar, every minute spent poring over documentation. It was worth every phone call, every hearing, every psychologist. My son lives in a much better, more stable environment here with me, now, and I do not believe that would be the case if we'd gone with another lawyer. Early in the case, it was recommended that we obtain a Parental Responsibilities Evaluator, and were proactive at preparing the care for the child even if we didn't win custody. The circumstances awarded us temporary emergency custody, which enabled us to show everyone, including his mother that he was better off here with us. He's now doing so much better, and it's because we were led down the right path, because we were shouldering part of the load for the case, too, and because we were able to fund the right decisions at the right time. Remember that the courts are looking after the best interests of the child, and approach your case in the mindset of doing the best by your child. Jolein helped keep that foremost in our minds. Remember that anything you can do to prepare your case helps lower your costs. Remember to be completely honest about your financial situation and the details of the case. Remember that it is *your* case. And make sure you're ready for it. Make sure that you're doing the right thing for your child and your family. If you're doing all of that, I'm sure that Jolein will be able to help you, because we had so many hills put in front of us... Just think. When's the last time you heard of an out-of-state father winning custody? We started contacting lawyers thinking there was no way we'd win, but hoping that filing would put pressure on his mother to improve his conditions and environments. I still think if we'd gone with anyone else, we'd have been right.

"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.
