Excellent representation

Having been referred to Ms. Faulk by a friend who also retained her as an attorney, I was impressed with her professionalism upon our initial consultation. She listened carefully to me and explained the process of divorce thoroughly. I was pleased with her very clearly defined recommended course of a...ction and retained her. She brought diplomacy to my nasty divorce and kept me calm during the process. She facilitated our Parenting Plan, Child Support, Separation Agreement and later walked me through the Protection Order that became necessary. After settling the intitial divorce matters, she also came back on board to help settle a custody dispute several years later. Without her guidance, I might have naively settled outside of court. Ms. Faulk kept me informed each step of the way and never made any promises about what would or would not happen. However, she was dead on when she said how the court would 'likely' rule. Her experience within the court system brought me great confidence and her knowledge of law put to rest the weak legal threats I was receiving from the defendant. I would hire Ms. Faulk again if necessary.

Extremely intelligent, professional, committed and tenacious

Mechelle represented me in a very complicated divorce and child custody case, in which my children were at risk of being moved out of state. If you aren't familiar with family law and child custody as it pertains to the state of Colorado, we had an uphill battle. But as a result of Mechelle's outst...anding work, perseverance and tenacity, the court ruled in our favor and in the best interest of the children, allowing them to stay in Colorado, and granting joint custody. It was a very difficult and trying case, but Mechelle always maintained a 'can win' attitude and was very supportive, because she absolutely believed it was the right thing to do for the children. Mechelle was very thorough, always well-prepared and steadfast in working through my situation. Her team was also outstanding, very efficient and extremely professional. I would highly (and only) recommend Mechelle Faulk to fight for your family.

LIFESAVER!!!!!!! PROTECTS MY CHILDREN LIKE THEY WERE HER OWN!!

Mechelle Faulk has been my attorney since 2012. Through a contentious divorce, and still ongoing battle to keep my children safe, Mechelle has worked tirelessly on behalf of my family! Mechelle is intelligent beyond belief, kind, caring, and real. My family would not be where we are today without ...her dedication to the best interest of my children! Mechelle has been a Godsend to my family, and I cannot even use words to accurately describe how invaluable she has been... All I can say is that, to me, Mechelle is a gift from God. I trust her with mine, and my children's lives. Best lawyer in Colorado, hands down!!!!

Amazing! Changed the direction of my high conflict divorce.

Michelle Faulk is an amazing lawyer and came into my messy divorce at just the right time. Well, earlier might have been better to avoid the disaster created by my ex husband and previous attorney firm. I walked into separation unrepresented and had hoped my ex and I could dissolve our marriage wit...hout conflicts and arguments. That was the worst mistake ever! In the following two years he NEVER paid a single child support check, paid or supported a single activity/ sport for any of our 4 children, NEVER paid the mortgage on the house he kept in the separation, NEVER paid a dime toward the equity owed to me from the house, kept all of our belongings except the small amount he allowed me to take when I moved out, and skipped out on any of the parenting responsibilities outside of providing food and shelter for our children although he had 50% parenting time. I finally retained my previous lawyer when our house was foreclosed, I had nothing for equity, our children were doing poorly in school (when he had them attend), and I was financially crippled. My previous attorney did a terrible job and left me with little faith in our court system. After this court appearance I spoke with Mechelle to see if she could just "make the bleeding stop". In the 3 years since that court date she has completely turned my life around and gave me hope. It's not that I expected to 'steal' everything from my ex, I just wanted it fair for both of us and in the best interest of our 4 children. I just needed need the court orders to be followed and the children to be a priority. Mechelle has made such a difference. She is very knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate. She has been very available and when she is at her busiest she is able to send out an email, make a quick call, or have someone in the office call and set up an appointment for us to meet. If I were to select just one situation that she handled for me, and there have been many, I would choose her expertise when my ex husband dropped my oldest daughter (13 yrs old) off at my house, at night, while I was at work, and drove away. He never called to check on her nor did he call to let me know she was at my house. I am an RN and work 12 hour night shifts. Mechelle was immediately concerned and spoke with me that evening (during her off time) so we could come up with what I needed to do next. She contacted our CFI, set up for supplemental CFI report, got the information in front of the judge, and now I have full parenting custody of our oldest child. She not only handled this situation as an exceptional lawyer, but also reached out to me with comfort in the horrible ordeal. I trust her completely and always feel like she is in my corner. I will always recommend Mechelle Faulk as she is top of the top! My divorce has been horrible, but she has given me hope and helped restore my faith in our court system.

Great Family Lawyer

I hired Mechelle to represent me in my divorce and am so pleased that I did. Being in the legal field myself but not having any experience with family law, I was concerned about hiring the wrong lawyer and to me that would have meant someone who was unnecessarily elevating fees or creating unnecessa...ry contentions, or someone who was not familiar with the complicated issues in family law. While advocating on my behalf, Mechelle never "wallowed in the mud" with the other side over petty issues, was professional in all communications and correspondence, and monumental in helping me understand what my rights were and how the court and our state would likely rule on important issues. This ultimately saved in legal fees and made it possible to reach agreements with my ex, in spite of the delay tactics that were evident from the time I filed for divorce. Mechelle's knowledge of local family law practice is amazing and her ability to compose, draft and edit documents on the fly was not only efficient but awe-inspiring. Mechelle also has an associate and a paralegal who are both very experienced in family law, which allowed a very efficient and cost-effective representation without sacrificing quality or professionalism.
