Best Divorce Attorney in Denver

Ron Litvak represented me in my divorce and he negotiated an excellent settlement on my behalf. It was a difficult time, I had three young children, and Ron made sure that I was informed and he kept me up-to-date on the developments of the case. If you find yourself in need of a divorce attorney I ...highly recommend that you seek the counsel of Ron Litvak.

The worst lawyer ever!!!!!

I used Ron for my Divorce case and he made so many error that I was forced to hire an new lawyer and redo the whole process. My current lawyer was shocked that anyone with a legal background would allow me to sign the agreement he drafted. DO NOT USE THIS GUY!! In addition to making huge legal erro...r - he sent me a bill that over estimated what he was owed.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known and worked with, and opposing, Ron for many years. He is the most intelligent family law attorney that I believe he knows more about Colorado laws (cases and statutes), especially related to divorce and custody, than any other family law lawyer that I know. He and his firm have generously presented the Annual Family Law Caselaw Update each of the 20 years I have practiced in the area. The work that goes into these presentations is one of the reasons he is such a great lawyer. He advocates strongly for his clients, is known in the community as being tough and is willing quite capable of taking on the most difficult and complex cases. His best work is done on the complex legal issues and high net worth divorces. Ron encourages settlement, when he is able to, but also is capable of running circles around other lawyers in the courtroom. He's committed to the education of judges and family law practitioners throughout the State of Colorado. He also has great partners."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known Ron for over 20 years. We have had cases against each other. I find Ron to be not only extremely competent but quite professional and courteous in their interaction with me. Should I be in need of a family law attorney I would look to Ron for representation. He is held in very high esteem in our area of the law and this community."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I began my legal career with Ron Litvak back in the late 1990's prior to starting my own practice. Ron's mentoring was invaluable and is a direct result of the lawyer I am today. Ron has a keen understanding of the law (including being able to recite a case name a citation for just about any issue you can imagine!). Ron can crunch the numbers in a high asset case and present a compassionate argument in support thereof. Aside from being a outstanding trial lawyer, Ron has high morals, both professionally and personally. It was both an honor and pleasure working for Ron. I highly endorse Ron Litvak."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've worked with Ron as opposing counsel on numerous family law matters, over many years. Ron is a vigorous, but thoughtful advocate for his clients. He is extraordinarily well prepared and knows the law, and his case. Despite sometimes very difficult and emotionally charged matters, he maintains the highest degree of professionalism and courtesey; all of which has earned him the utmost respect of his peers."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
