Review Maria-Vittoria Carminati

Passionate and Driven

Posted by

I was represented by Mrs. Carminati for a protection order and with her support, long hours, and hard work, I was granted a permanent restraining order which included my kids. Her safety for my children was important and she guided me every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mrs. Carminati to anyone who needs a voice in court. She is very professional and straight forward as well as kind and caring.

Tough and smart!

Posted by

I had a nuisance suit filed against me that didn't make any sense to anyone. The opposing lawyers and his client were bullies and mishandled and mistreated me, and then acted unprofessionally with Guigi by with holding financial disclosure information, and misrepresenting income on a sworn financial statement. Guigi advised me to do the right thing on my/our behalf for the case despite the intimidation tactics. She is amazing how smart she is and how determined she is to do what's in the best interests of her clients. Guigi is a mother of four young children, she travels a lot, is busy with several cases at a time in different cities. I really don't know how she does it! I totally admire and respect her, and would recommend her as a litigator to anyone who wants to come out on top!

What a pleasure to work with

Posted by

Giugi is wonderful to work with. She delivered drafts of the contracts well ahead of schedule and our follow up call was smooth and collaborative. I really appreciate that she takes the time to educate and turns things around really quickly. I look forward to working with her again.

Basically Giugi is superwoman. Somehow she manages to be both extremely knowledgeable in the practice of law and also in the many aspects of running a successful business. There is nothing that she cannot accomplish. You will feel blessed if she is in your corner.

If I have a domestic violence case come through my door, I refer it to Maria-Vittoria. She has been recognized as a CO superlawyer advocate for victims of sexual assault and DV. I am glad to endorse her.

Kimberly Utesch, Commercial real estate Attorney on Dec 3, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

The Denver area has gained an exceptional attorney in Ms. Carminati. She is incredibly intelligent, client-focused, and dedicated to providing the best legal services for her clients. You would be well served by hiring her for your legal needs.

Marie Drake, Business Attorney on Dec 2, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse Maria-Vittoria Galli Carminati for business and contracts. She is a recent addition to the Colorado lawyer community and I love her passion for and knowledge of the law.

Cassandra Kirsch, Civil rights Attorney on Dec 1, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Ms. Carminati recently began practicing in Denver and words simply cannot capture her passion, skill, knowledge, or advocacy. I have had the privilege of working with her on contentious issues in Denver, Colorado, on behalf of plaintiffs who have had the unthinkable done to them. Any plaintiff is in good hands with Ms. Carminati. She is an advocate both inside and outside of the courtroom for civil rights and the voices of the down-trodden.
