Cheryl Torpey Mulvihill

I needed a lawyer quickly upon being served divorce papers by my ex. Cheryl was prompt to take my case. She was able to advise me what was legal and possible within the law. Her no nonsense straight to the point advice is what I needed. She promptly returned all my emails and phone calls and worked s...everal late nights on my case. My ex had a nasty lawyer who was not agreeable to any compromises, and Cheryl had no problem negotiating fairness between the parties. At times, she had to fight ferociously with my ex’s lawyer, which I needed. I felt that the outcome of the divorce was fair and appropriate due to Cheryl’s involvement. Several months later, my ex filed multiple motions trying to change the outcome of the divorce and parenting agreement. Cheryl was there every step of the way, filing contempt charges against my ex and again fighting ferociously on my behalf. In the end, the parenting agreement was in my favor due to Cheryl’s abilities.

Cheryl was listed as one of many attorneys participating with my legal plan. I interviewed many before hiring her. Other attorneys seemed cold, had less years of experience, some felt as if I had to pull teeth to get information as I did not know what questions to ask them and they offered little to ...keep the conversation going. One attorney told me I had "no chance at all" in winning any of my divorce ask of the court because Colorado is an automatic 50/50 state and advice I agree to all of my husbands terms. Cheryl stood out from other attorneys and her 30 years of experience shined through immediately. I felt she listened attentively and explained both the pros and the cons for all my concerns. My divorce was filled with emotional and sexual abuse, a restraining hearing, fight for the martial home, custody fight for physical and decision making for the kids, we were even fighting over a vacuum. Cheryl was able to step in handle it all. At times I did shutdown from the stress and grief, she was able to keep me ground and snap me back on track. Some of my concerns were ridiculous and she had no problem with telling me when I was being unreasonable and talking me through it. Everything she presented to the court was timely, well-organized, even her pretrial prep was well thought through. Previous attorneys left me feeling nervous, scared and doubtful. With Cheryl, she was professional, I felt I had a voice in what was happening, she was courteous to my husband not to make matters worst, but was never a pushover. Thanks to Cheryl, I walked away from my marriage with my head held high and with what I earned and felt my kids deserved, I was pleased with her results. I will be retaining her for any post divorce issues that may pop up and for setting up a will. I can absolutely, honestly and unconditionally say I recommend Cheryl Mulvihill 100%.
