Horrible Decision

Complete disaster! they told me I had a strong case and I did with a lot of documentation. They refused to fight for me, ghosted me and set me up for a huge loss, worked more with opposing team than for me. Devastated by this firm's incompetence.

Impeccable representation and the best law firm in Denver.

When I first consulted with Margot, I was terrified and felt trapped in my marriage. Margot eased my anxiety, walked me through every step of the process and offered an incredible, consistent amount of support. Margot took a high conflict case and handled every obstacle ethically, efficiently and wit...h so much grace, even when the opposing counsel targeted her directly. I’ve never had a voice and working with Margot gave me one. I am safely out of an abusive relationship with what I need to move forward in rebuilding my life and I do not have to fear that my ex and his accessibility to money will keep me in court until our children are adults. I don’t know that I’ll ever find the exact words to express my gratitude for Margot and the entire team at BAM. That said, I’m so proud to have BAM walking beside me in my journey to rebuild my life and give my kids the peaceful, happy childhood they deserve.

Thoughtful, Knowledgeable, Actually Cares...

Unfortunate circumstances brought me to Margot Alicks' legal firm. My family was breaking up and the circumstances were complicated and intense. Margot and her team were fantastic from the first call, through the last invoice. Calm, patient and thoughtful listeners - I felt heard and supported t...hroughout a very trying time in my life. Our case required very specific expertise and nuance in the way things were handled. A potentially long and exhausting case was handled effectively and efficiently, with grace. I am so grateful to Margot and her entire team!

By far, the best Attorney you will find!

I have now had the pleasure of working with Margot on two separate occasions. She is - hands down - the best attorney I could have ever hoped for. Her and her Associate Madeleine Sheahan have an in-depth knowledge of the law and can explain it to the layperson and make it easy to understand. She is n...ot afraid to have hard conversations with her clients but she is upfront, honest and is an absolute bulldog if/when it is needed. I cannot recommend her, Madeleine or her firm highly enough. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you choose anyone else to represent you.

grateful!

Margot and her colleagues went above and beyond in helping me with my case. It was clear in meeting Margot that she was well-versed in the law that applied to my case and used it effectively for a positive outcome. I would absolutely recommend her and her firm in cases like mine and believe she is a ...true advocate for both her clients and the law. thank you Margot!
