Exceedingly knowledgeable and caring attorney

I had a consultation with John Haas based on his excellent reviews and area of expertise. I hired John for my case because of his second-to-none knowledge of the law. What I quickly came to find out was that it was the absolute right choice because of the extreme care he took not only with the fact...s of my case and the strategy he utilized during my court hearings, but because of the extreme care he took with me personally. When involved in a family/civil court matter, one of the most difficult and stressful times in a person's life, choosing the right attorney is critical. John was absolutely the right choice! With his expertise and unsurpassed guidance, he led me unwaveringly to a successful outcome. Obviously the outcome is the most important aspect of a court action, but feeling personally supported, receiving frequent communication, and being listened to and involved throughout the process was incredibly empowering. Choosing to hire John Haas for my case is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made.

John Haas

After months of trying to save my marriage I finally concluded there was nothing really left to save. Next step was meeting John Haas who came recommended through a friend. We can all agree that divorce is a pretty terrifying thing. And the day day I walked into his office I was exactly that- terrifi...ed. For the next hour John calmly walked me through the process, the rules, and procedures of divorce in Colorado. I walked out of there feeling an indescribable sense of relief and real confidence. I ended up settling the divorce amicably with John's total support and expertise. If you find yourself with no other alternative than divorce , I strongly suggest hiring John to represent you. He's very empathetic, get's it, and knows exactly what he's doing. And he'll take the time to make certain you understand what he's doing and why. His people skills are tops and is reasonably priced. I was happy with my settlement and you will be too.

An amazing attorney and a compassionate strength.

Where to begin... I was a shattered mess before I hired John he was referred to me by a friend who had hired John to defend her when she needed help with her divorce. The day I did a consult with John I was able to see the light in a very dark and sad tunnel. I was incapable of defending myself again...st my husband at the time, where I was weak John stood with the strength I didn’t have. He has been a truly amazing and unique attorney. He puts his heart and soul into a career for which the universe created him for. Never had I ever felt neglected or marginalized through the nightmare I was living. He was brought into this world to have strength for those who have none. I could never thank him for giving me an amazing gift, he gave me strength to assert myself in the most difficult and fearful aspects of my life. He, in my eyes went way above and beyond his call of duty. I can never find words to describe in words what was given to me for the first time in 43 years. John is uniquely created to do what he has done for me. His amazing and spectacular team, had never once made me feel like I couldn’t trust them. An awesome unique attorney and his dream team have changed my entire world, my outlook on my future, and changed the way I view myself. That’s a gift I have never been given. Thank the universe for bringing John and his beautiful dream team. They now and forever fill a void, and will forever be protected in this, my newly reconstructed heart I Possess. My gratitude is forever, and my love and my fondness will be there till the stars burn out.

Highest Recommendation for Attorney John Haas

During the past two years I had the pleasure of meeting and be represented by John Haas in a personal legal matter. John's knowledge and experience are outstanding. His professionalism and integrity are second to none. He made a huge difference in moving through to satisfactory resolution of my matte...r and was able to solve difficult issues throughout the case. He was always the smartest guy on the call or in the room. In addition, John is sensitive to dealing with issues which are personal in nature that arise between individuals in such legal matters, like divorce. John is one of the most outstanding individuals I have met in my 35 year professional career having worked around the globe with a wide variety of people and leaders. I give John my highest recommendation possible and would not hesitate to use him again as an advisor in any legal matter.

A True Partner

John is an excellent family law attorney. Not only did he provide excellent legal advice, he provided great recommendations on surviving the divorce process. I felt he always kept the goals of the client in mind, but he was not shy in highlighting options that were not readily apparent. If you cho...ose John as your attorney, you will be represented with one of the strongest professionals in the Denver area.
