STRONG LEGAL ADVOCACY. COMPETITIVE COST. FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY SERVING DENVER AREA. CALL FOR FREE CONSULTATION (720) 443-5715

Barlow Anderson moved to Colorado in 2011 to attend school at Denver University Sturm College of Law. After graduating in 2014, Barlow began work as an Associate Attorney at a highly reputable family law firm that specialized in fathers’ rights and large asset dissolution and allocation cases. While there, Barlow recognized an imbalance between the cost of legal representation and the clients’ needs and expectations.

Understanding much of the high cost of litigation comes from parties’ inability to proactively reach just and equitable resolution, Barlow worked toward equitable ends and kept his clients informed of their rights and responsibilities under Colorado law. After nearly two years, he began work as a Law Clerk to two District Court judges in the 18th Judicial District’s Douglas County. Assisting his judges in Criminal, Civil, Family, Probate, and Mental Health fields of law, Barlow discovered the importance of making the legal process clear and approachable to non-attorneys.

Barlow’s love for the law sprouted from personal experiences which led him to law school, but he looks for every opportunity to enjoy the real reason he moved to Colorado, his love of the outdoors.

An experienced outdoorsman, Barlow has been rock climbing, ice climbing, white water kayaking, mountain biking, and fly fishing for more than fifteen years. Whether hundreds of feet up granite cliffs or Colorado surfing (freestyle whitewater kayak surfing), he makes the most out of everything he does. But what he really looks forward to is training his now four year old son to join him on his crazy adventures.

A few times a month, Barlow teaches people to rock climb. Although he can’t get out as much as he likes to, he loves sharing his love for the sport to other people.

Barlow also has a love of Japanese culture and tradition. In addition to teaching himself Japanese language, he practices Kendo (Japanese fencing) and Iaido.

The best part about Barlow's life is his son. The six year old keeps him busy, but the two get to explore all the things they love together.

BARLOW GETS THE JOB DONE, HONESTLY AND PROFESSIONALLY
Barlow Anderson represented our family on a custody agreement. We were able to get through this painful process quickly and amicably. I would recommend Barlow to anyone needing family law. Awesome person to work with. Thank you Barlow.

From Love
Mannnnn.... I had a situation where I couldn't even breathe. Thinking wasn't an option, I did try but I couldn't even sleep. I talked to so many lawyers, many conversations I paid a lot of money for. An angel sent me an angel, this man Anderson, though I use Barlow. He is quick to listen, his compassion is soft but strong enough to force you to focus when life is trying to take you deep under. He is a force of compassion and solution. I'd give this man an arm and leg if he needed them! My gratitude is obviously bias, but my words are real. Hopefully life doesn't knock you down, but if it does... call this man, he'll lift you up without you needing to ask. He is a God send.

Caring for a client to another level.
Barlow has went above and beyond for me in my case. What is amazing about him is that instead of just doing everything for me or leaving me out to dry he takes time to fully educate me on the process and options. Fully guides me through scenarios and possibility of different outcomes. Last but not least he never sugar coats anything. In which for a person like me matches my communication style. I have hired him and will continue to hire and recommend him in the future. Thank you for being an awesome and just an overall amazing person.

Custody
Oh my gosh an attorney that will respond promptly is a hard feat to accomplish but I found the one who will and not make a client feel like you are putting him out or your time isn’t important. I am very satisfied thus far in my case. Mr BArlow is also very quick to get things filed with the courts so things can move along as quickly as the courts allow. I would just like to thank him for his true concern for the well being of my child and my needs.

Amazing!
Barlow Anderson was/is nothing short of amazing! From the moment I contacted him just for questions to the whole process of a ugly custody battle with my child’s father. He was very patient, understanding & kind. He was up front with me about every step to steer me in the right direction. If I had to do it all again, I would choose Barlow all over again!

Awesome lawyer
I’ve been having multiple problems with a recent lawyer that ended up basically taking my money from me! I was kind of in a bind until I met me Barlow! Great lawyer! Answers my calls even when he’s busy just to say I can’t talk I’ll call you later! Says he’s going to do something and he get it’s done. Also no beating around the bush he gives advice like it is! Couldn’t be more happy to have him as my lawyer great job!

Barlow, is a get stuff done phenomenally smart attorney.
Barlow, is a get stuff done phenomenally smart attorney. I can't believe what a great job he did for me! This is a real post from a real person. I did a lot of research searching for an attorney. A lot of fake reviews out there this one is not. I was referred Barlow by a different attorney who was too busy at the time. I'm so blessed. He is level headed guy that gets stuff done. The day I asked to file it was done in the court on the website by 3:00 that afternoon. I had a very tough case. He guided me through it and I can’t be any happier. You can't go wrong choosing Barlow.  I can’t believe how hard he worked for me. I was very impressed during his cross-examination. I couldn't believe the way he worded things in court it was amazing. Poor guy had to put up with me and a really tough Situation. Truly honest no mess around kind of guy not a lot of people can say that about an attorney. Not only is he a very good attorney he's a really good person. I could tell from the time we had our first conversation. I interviewed a lot of attorneys. Barlow is a master of his craft!

Common Law Marriage, WIN
Without Mr Anderson's help, I would not have won a very difficult common law marriage case. He was able to help get a crucial piece of evidence entered into the record that not only impeached the key witness but made it clear they had actually perjured themselves. He knows his way around the courtroom and rules of evidence, a must if a case goes to hearing or trial. To top things off, he genuinely cares about helping people and interacting with him is very pleasant, an unexpected bonus when dealing with an extremely stressful situation. I will not hesitate to call Mr Anderson if any future issues arise and I will certainly recommend him to any family and friends as well.

A knowledgeable attorney
We meet Mr. Anderson in April of 2019. He addopted one of our foster puppies that came off of a reservation. After much rehabilitation and basic medical care we knew we had to find that sweet-shy puppy a home. Mr. Anderson, his wife Jen, and their son were a perfect match. In August of 2019, after a tragic situation my husband and I knew we had to gain grandparent rights. Mr. Anderson was the first person I called. He never judge our situation and always listened to what we thought was best for our grandchildren. Mr. Anderson was very knowledgeable about the law. He always put everything in layman terms so that my husband and I could have a better understanding. He was very clear about our case and what we were up against. I really liked that he was a straight shooter, and he would never beat around the bush. Even during Covid-19 he was always there for us. I recommended Mr. Anderson to anyone needing a family lawyer. He will really get to know your family and your needs. One thing that really helped our case is that Mr. Anderson found a way for all parties to come together in the best interest of the children. Mr. Anderson is very professional in his dealings with his clients. He was very diligent and took all of our calls. He had great communication skills, but was also objective. He will always tell you the pros and cons in every situation. He was amazing at preparing documents for the courts. He always took his time to make sure they were right. He kept our case very organized. While talking to the judge we found Mr. Anderson to be very knowledgeable. He was a very prepared attorney. Everything was documented and organized. We were told during our case that this was one of the best cases she ever handled. She was impressed that all parties were willing to work together in the best interest of the children. I believe that was do to Mr. Anderson's professionalism in our case. He will always be part of our family. He has became not just our attorney but also our friend.

Grandparent Rights
I found Barlow by word of mouth and feel very fortunate he accepted my case involving grandparent rights. I live out of state and was able to handle everything over phone. I do recommend him, so hard to find lawyer.
