Completely Satisfied - Do not hesitate to hire the best

When something is important to me or I want a specific outcome, I buy the best product or I hire the best service provider. Rick Nicoletti is that best product and service provider, you get what you pay for. I was referred to Rick by a therapist. He was described as a father’s rights advocate for ...which some rather compelling testimonials were provided. While he is experienced in every aspect of child custody, divorce and separation, his expertise is righting wrongs in the most fair and respectable way. Rick is very different from other lawyers. 1 - Translates legal matters and the very complicated legal process in layman terms. He validates your understanding of critical issues/matters. 2 - Gives necessary attention to your case. Let’s you know that you are an equal player in this process and your fervent engagement is critical to a successful outcome. 3 - Lays out options for your case and the respective implications of each option in terms of estimated cost, timeframe, and frustration level you can anticipate. 4 - Lends peaceful clarity and focus to the client. While he listens, he is objective and defuses the strong emotions that can arise in this environment, focuses you on what’s important and what needs to be accomplished. I can’t speak to separation and divorce, but if you value time with your precious child/children and you want the opportunity to spend more time with him/her/them, HIRE Rick Nicoletti! Summary: - Every dollar I paid to Rick was well spent. - Every element of advice provided was well received. - Every aspect of my child custody arrangement (to this point) is exactly what I wanted. My Outcome - I have my son weekdays from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm and split overnights 50/50. AMAZING! I couldn’t be happier.

Your search for the BEST attorney ends here!

I was so incredibly lucky to find Mr. Rick Nicoletti! My son was removed from Denver and I was panicked and destroyed. Mr. Nicoletti was referred to me after my initial law firm was unsure about the success of my sons return. Upon my first meeting with Rick, I knew he had the knowledge, care, and d...rive to do everything he could to bring my son home. Mr. Nicoletti is a father and a family man, so he understands a parent’s love and supports each parent’s relationship with the child. Rick has 30+ years of experience in child custody, divorce, and separation cases, which this knowledge was extremely helpful in my case. He was able to guide me through the child family investigator, discovery, deposition, and final custody hearing, all with the help of his amazing Secretary Jamie Larson. In the court room is where Mr. Nicoletti performs like a true professional. I was so amazed and proud to have him on my side and felt prepared and confident. This team (Rick and Jamie) worked so unbelievably hard on my case and treated me like family, as I truly believe that only family would work that hard to ensure a positive outcome for me and my son. In the end, Mr. Nicoletti was able to prove my consistent involvement and deep bond in my son’s life, shed light on the untruthful accusations, and my son came home!!! I could never thank Rick Nicoletti and Jamie Larson enough for their efforts in my case and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them in any child custody, divorce or separation case!
