Above and Beyond Expectations... Wow!

I was sent to Woody Law firm as part of the Colorado Bar Association’s (CBA) Appellate Pro Bono Program for the appeal of a family court outcome. Danaé and Jenna worked with me on my appeal. Danae was very straight forward about what to expect with the appeal process. She clearly explained the pot...ential outcomes, the parts of the case that were appealable, and the process that would be used. Prior to my appeal, I worked with a few different family law attorneys, and I have never worked with any so competent as Danaé and Jenna. Their knowledge of the law is incredible, and the research performed by Danaé and Jenna was flawless. All documents were extremely well prepared. It was obvious the amount of hard work and dedication they put toward my case. We won our appeal, and I have opted to hire Danaé and Jenna as my attorneys for the post-appeal matter.

The Woody Law Firm provides Confidence, Reassurance, and Relief!

Hello: I have worked with several legal teams in my career and life experience; however, the Woody Law Firm and specifically Danae, have provided a world class level of Confidence, Reassurance, and Relief. I never anticipated needing a family attorney, nor the reasons why, but life happens. My exp...erience is not unique, but I found myself fearful, lost, and concerned for the well being of my child. Danae, and her team at the Woody Law Firm, are overtly compassionate, strategically competent, and emotionally and inquisitively intelligent. This cumulative quotient has more than satisfied my expectations, and has provided me with a salient trajectory that poises me for a prosperous future for my child and I. While there is a perceived choice of options for a family attorney; the solace Danae and her team have brought me; unequivocally have bench-marked any of my expectations. Danae is a genuine leader and I can recognize my own growth and maturity through her coaching. Parenting isn't easy; especially when combated by the other parental, however, when lost in the emotional struggle; Danae has always been the beacon I redirect my frustration to; and that light that has helped me see through the fog.

Be a champion

I was asked for a divorce in April of 2016. As a father of two beautiful children and the primary breadwinner in the home I was terrified of potential outcomes. I discovered Danae and her team performing an online search of top rated attorneys in Colorado. I could not have made a better choice in ...hiring The Woody Law Firm to support and protect me as a Dad in the state of Colorado. The Woody Law firms attention to detail, punctuality in hitting deadlines, professionalism in and out of court, extensive knowledge of the law and just the right amount of empathy helped to make my very sensitive and contentious divorce; manageable. Danae and her team listen to and fight hard for their client needs and desired outcomes. Woody Law strives to get you the very best deal they can and in the end, they do. I am extremely happy with the Woody Law firms services and will continue to recommend Danae to anyone that may find themselves in the unfortunate world of divorce. If there is such a thing for attorney's I am certain that she will be "Living in the Hall of Fame" As one of the greatest and one of the best! Thanks Woody Law Firm!!

Absolutely wonderful

Danae was fantastic to work with. She is caring, professional, and incredibly knowledgable in her field. She exceeded my expectations in every way, and I was so impressed with the way my case was handled. I felt confident that I was in good hands. The peace of mind that comes from having an attorney ...in your side that you know you can trust is invaluable. I would not have made it through the this process without her. I would highly recommend Danae to anyone.

Great Legal Attorney

Danae was very incredible and such a hard worker. She was very involved and was excellent during the time I had her. The only thing I would mark down for is although decently affordable to those who have money, there was no option for a payment plan built around income. They had requested very hi...gh pay and due to the high pay not according to the actual monthly costs acquired, they requested to pull off the case. A retainer had to be replenished within 30 days. If I had more money and more of an option I would made efforts to keep her on my case as she is very detailed and on point. Her law firm in general were on top of responses and on top of deadlines. Her associate attorney Katie Ahles is also very good as well. Wonderful staff. I do look forward to possibly retaining her again once I can catch up.
