Professional & Efficient

Hiring Austin to help me in my divorce was the best decision I could have made. What start as amicable and filing on our own quickly turned. Austin jumped in and immediately remedied our improperly filed paperwork. He built initial rapport with my ex to keep the process as smooth as possible for as... along as possible. His team was efficient, helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. Austin listened throughout, honored my choices and helped me stay in the reality of my situation so I could make the best choices for myself and my future. Austin is not only articulate and efficient in his work, he is also compassionate and empathetic. I would highly recommend Austin and his team.

Look no Further - Best Family Law Attorney in Denver

I had the pleasure of working with Austin for my divorce case. You can tell that he has your best interest in mind, but also acts in a manner in which to resolve issues. His philosophy on my case was to be amicable at all times, but if opposing counsel becomes aggressive, to respond in kind. I can...’t say enough good things about Austin. If you are looking for a family law attorney and your case involves both kids and custody, I would. put complete faith in Austin over any other attorney, to ensure I retain custody of my kids. Austin is also well-known and respected amongst opposing attorneys and the court system. I’m so lucky to have found Austin and can’t stress enough that I believe he is the top family law attorney in Denver. Nobody paid or asked me to write this review; I just can’t thank Austin enough for his services and passing on a good review for others in my situation is the only way I can think to repay him and show my gratitude.

I can not recommend Austin enough— He went above and beyond in my divorce case. I felt heard and understood and genuinely advocated for. His attention to detail is remarkable and gave me a sense of security during a very ungrounded time. His ability to connect on a personal level made him a pleasur...e to work with.

Excellent, thorough, and highly competent attorney

From the first time I spoke with Austin and explained my situation, I knew that he was the right attorney for me. He treated me as a partner in achieving my goals and not just as a client. He is very competent and detail-oriented. Austin asked all the right questions; listened to me intently; reque...sted all the right documentation; educated me on the law; and asked me about the outcome I desired. He was very professional and consistently upfront with me. He provided the pros and cons regarding possible outcomes and costs – both personal and monetary - of pursuing a path, leaving the final decision to me. I found him to be both considerate and a straight shooter. He was well prepared at my divorce proceedings and the judge thought so, too! The judge noted and complimented him on his thoroughness regarding documentation filed with the court and case law cited to support the arguments on my behalf. In addition, the judge was impressed with the spreadsheet exhibit he created that enabled the judge to quickly view the totality of the marital estate along with the proposed assets & debts to be allocated to each spouse. In the end, he formulated a strategy that worked out well. It incorporated my goals and achieved the best possible outcome for me. Austin is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him!
