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.

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!

Absolute Fraud

I went in to see Jolein about modifying my parenting time to 50%. I was told how screwed I was getting, how much I was overpaying, how poor my sep agreement was for me. It was a 2 hour initial meeting and when I left I was thrilled. That was the last time I saw or talked to Jolein and in the end I wa...lked into court unrepresented because I was ordered to pay my ex's legal fees and couldn't afford my own. Jolein COMPLETELY dropped the ball in my case and her "associate" suggested we go to modify child support and then parenting time later, which is good if you're trying to get more money out of your client, but a terrible idea if the circumstances haven't changed enough for the law to grant the change to begin with. That's exactly what happened, I spent $13,000 on Jolein, and another $17,000 for my ex's legal fees and the case was thrown out. If I had the money I'd sue Jolein for malpractice.

Dear Tracy, I am, so sorry that you feel this way. Unfortunately, in a public forum such as this, I cannot comment on your case, due to ethical responsibilities. I can tell you, however, that I would welcome an opportunity to sit down with you in private to work through your concerns. We wish you all the best. Please do not hesitate to contact me off-line and in confidence to speak about your situation. Sincerely, Jolein Harro

HAS YOUR BEST INTEREST

Jolein and her office handled my divorce. Was married for 44 1/2 years-was blindsided when my ex-husband asked for a divorce. Without Jolein's help as well as her staff's I would be destitute at this time of my life. Everyone in the office was looking out for my best interest, very supportive, and ...always prepared as well as keeping me informed on what the next step was and what was expected of me . I would highly recommend Jolein and her office.
