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.

one star too many for Harro & her attorneys.

Harro failed to represent my young child and I. Prior to consolation, her staff was so friendly claiming Oh Yes we will help you with such compassion and dedication. I paid the $200 consultation fee... mistake! Jolene Harro was present this ONE time and she and her staff were so angry about my case,... claiming it was "going to be on the News" it was so horrific and I had solid evidence. Jolene Harro did all she was supposed to appear to be a good lawyer: Sighting all the laws broken. Claiming she "knows all the DAs". Discussing strategies. I paid the $2000 retainer fee (cheapest I found in town and I now know why! BEWARE!) I never heard from Jolein Harro again after I paid the $2220. She put her two (not one) inexperienced attorneys on my case even though she had told me she'd personally be representing me. I was never called about my case. I CALLED them a week before my trial. The inexperienced attorneys never talked to one another and never read notes in my case. Ben was reluctant toward the DA and made a deal that I did not agree to accept. He would not allow me to talk nor did he represent me as I wanted. He refused to state things I wanted stated. Claiming "not essential or not important". Harro and her law firm lied to me only to get money, they did not help. They did not "call the News". They did not get my child or me anything. They did not even try. Many factors depended on my outcome, all negative now. One of the young attorneys even bragged that he drives around illegally without CO plates or driver's license, he just moved from his college graduate state. There are many details that are worse... bottom line do NOT trust this lawyer, do not trust her staff, do not trust her attorneys. They all know what to say to hook you in your most desperate moment prior to your money. After they get your money... nothing. And I had a STRONG case, I could have gone anywhere, I was just short on cash. MY MISTAKE> PAY the extra! I am now in a class action suit and civil suit far away from Harro and it is on the news now. My situation was so horrific, a good lawyer listened and found more witnesses to assist my child and me. Bottom LINE: Look elsewhere, not Harro. Thank you Internet for the ability to Research lawyers. I wish I had been more smart.

Jolein puts the "family" in family law.

Jolein Harro and her associates have been my family lawyers for half a decade now. They have tirelessly fought for my rights as a father and have been paramount to my becoming primary parent. I cannot recommend Jolein, Ben and their entire team highly enough. I have had the pleasure to watch both Jo...lein and Ben in the courtroom. Their confidence, quick thinking and mastery of family law are unrivaled in the courtroom. We successfully battled Polidori, Monihan and crew on at least 3 occasions. Jolein and Ben can deftly examine and cross examine to bring out the ulterior motives of the opposing party. They come to trial very prepared with detailed binders for exhibits that always outclass the opposing party. They seem to know most of the magistrates and judges in Jefferson and Douglas counties, where I have used them and can oftentimes predict how rulings will go based on past experiences. Of course, they do their best to keep you out of court first and foremost. They can help you navigate the most difficult of mediations and settlements. The piece of mind you are provided, knowing that your most sensitive affairs will be expertly handled, is beyond value. Their team has educated me about the complicated legal processes I have had to navigate by giving me expert advice and have always kept me included when important decisions must be made. Having a legal team that will support you in the best of times and worst of times truly puts the "family" in family law.

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!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
