Amazing

Morgan was always there to listen and help work through every part of the divorce. She was able to deal with my neurodivergence very well. She kept me appraised of all that was going on and when I needed to ask questions or get answers would make the time for me. She went above and beyond consistentl...y and it helped me get through the hardest part of my life. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Divorce Lawyer

In my particular case I initially hired a differant lawyer, as the process played out by the time I realized I had hired the wrong lawyer it was too late. I lost basically everything from finances to my kids. I made the choice to change my Attorney and finding Morgan Paterson was the best thing to ha...ppen to me. She took my case knowing what a scrambled mess it was and has since helped me get the train back on the tracks from the disaster the previous Attorney left. The pendulum has started swinging back in my direction since I hired Morgan. I am forever grateful for what she and her team has accomplished in such a short amount of time. The quality I get and the feelng that someone actually cares about me gives me the peice of mind money can't buy. I would recommend Morgan over and over again. Thank you Morgan and your team for giving me a life with my kids I didn't think I would ever get back.

A true teammate

Morgan was able to truly put herself in my shoes and help me navigate an extremely difficult and complex situation while maintaining complete strategic situational awareness and professional tactical execution in the moments that truly counted. Her ability to understand, organize, problem-solve, and ...communicate the truth is beyond exceptional and she proved herself to be one of the most talented in the business. More importantly, Morgan is a genuine person who authentically cares about her clients and their families and takes extremely professional ownership of each case.

Excellent Attorney for my Child Custody issues

I was referred to this firm by a close family friend, on the merits of the firm's focus for Child Custody and the issues that can arise in a contentious separation/divorce (which is exactly the situation I regrettably found myself in..). From listening to my worries and concerns at the beginning of t...he process, to walking me through the many scenarios that could unfold, helping me understand the difficulties that might lay ahead in my particular situation, Morgan Paterson was exceptional. From assisting me in understanding financial equations in my state, assisting me with the restraining order needed against the other party and those impacts to logistics of future custody exchanges, and to the respect and succinct timeframes as Covid changed the court appearance landscape over the year; Morgan was diligent, professional, and thorough. She advised me often times on the desired outcome, the process along the way, and the steps, as a concerned parent, that I could take to ensure my desired outcome. As I wanted to make sure of 50/50 custody as I believed both parents should be in the child's life( at least in our situation), Morgan led me expertly through the minefield of headaches laid down by ex. She helped me to understand how to make decisions that I felt were in the best interest of my son, and on some days, really helped me to understand the difference between my initial response and the more correct response. Though it was never a service I wanted to know, I believe I got the best service possible in one of the most difficult times of my life. With succinct and professional communication throughout the process, I felt prepared and able to proceed in each step along the way. Not just representing the firm that Morgan works for, but her continued professionalism has been top notch, and represented the industry to level I had not expected. Truly a process that allowed me to continue on focusing on my life and being the best dad I can be to my son; without an unreasonable amount stress that is inherent in divorce cases. I hope not to ever need an attorney in this field again, but would, without hesitation specifically hire Morgan Paterson. I will always recommend her specifically, and the firm she works for, to anyone I know in the Denver Metro area that might need to get advice or hire an attorney for family court issues.

Thank you Morgan

From the moment Morgan took over our Child support case she was very helpful and informative. Morgan was there to help us and made sure all of our worries, concerns or questions were addressed and answered. The communication was there and she took us serious. Our case is now closed and to our satisfa...ction. I will recommend Morgan to anyone that might be in the same situation we were in and/or whatever services anybody might need help with that she specializes in, Morgan is the attorney to hire. Thank you, Morgan!
