Culver Winston Van Der Jagt

I can’t express my sincere gratitude to Culver Van Der Jagt! I was going through an uphill battle on a Motion to Restrict case - the case was ruled in my favor, but suddenly took a turn. I came to Van Der to assist me with a Motion to Respond on the other parties appeal. Van Der and his paralegal came along my side & put together an AMAZING repose! Weeks later the District Judge DENIED the appeal & ruled on the magistrates order. Although this law firm didn’t represent me on my case, they offer a non-bundle rate to where those like myself pay for services when a response is needed. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. This attorney knows the law, he’s very fair with what he chargers, and takes the time to hear you! Thank you, thank you Van Der for EVERYTHING you & your paralegal did for me as well as my children!

My husband and I consulted with Culver a couple of times during our case when our regular Van der Jagt attorney was unavailable (vacation, in court, etc.). Culver was patience personified, he took time to answer phone calls, even took the time to talk when I had to walk-in without an appointment a time or two. His professionalism, reassurance and answers to difficult questions helped to keep our spirits up during a hard 17-month case. Without the help of Culver, his lawyers, and the rest of his firm, we would have been floundering without a clear direction. His firm's prices are extremely reasonable and they don't bill for every little question, which given the length of our case, was greatly appreciated. Culver also helped my husband out with some advice regarding his ex-wife and saved us hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in unnecessary legal fees. There are many lawyers who will advise you to go ahead and file motions that aren't necessarily in the best interest of you and your family, whereas Culver's direct-speak approach and advice on the possible outcomes saved my husband from filing on an issue that probably wouldn't have gone anywhere and just needlessly aggravated the situation with his ex. Thanks to Culver, that situation didn't go from bad to worse. Attorneys aren't the ones, at the end of the day, who have to deal with the children involved in high-conflict divorces, but a good, caring, responsible attorney, who knows when to advise you NOT to file, can help your children and your family. Our consultations with Culver (and all his staff members) always helped us see the best possible picture for our kids. We cannot say enough good things about Culver and his attorneys and staff - I recommend him and his firm to anyone, anytime.

I appreciate clarity and directness and from my initial consultation to the outcome this team gave me that. Keeping an eye on costs they handled the process very efficiently and were true advocates. I would recommend them to anyone.

Culver, Paul, and his team did an excellent job for me throughout my extended divorce process. I highly recommend this firm for anyone that is going through this horrible process and wants to come through the other side with a smile on their face and maybe even some new friends. Unlike other divorce attorneys that treat this like a fee generating, paper-pushing process (e.g. the attorney I fired prior to engaging Culver, my ex-spouse's attorney, etc.); Culver understands that at the core of these matters are people, emotions, children, extended families, years of hard work, etc. He works with his clients and lets you be part of his legal team thereby enabling you to navigate a process that can quickly feel like you have no control over with other attorneys. Divorce is terribly invasive and frankly cruel depending on opposing counsel and their tactics; Culver knows most of these combatants through firsthand experience and is quick to develop tailored action plans that work perfectly to outwit their tactics. My specific case was fairly complex and involved a substantial estate value. It was also against an opposing counsel (Gutterman and Griffiths) that is known to be incredibly aggressive, I believe horribly unethical, and difficult to reach a settlement with. If you find yourself against this Firm, Culver is definitely your best choice in Denver in my opinion. I originally engaged another highly touted law firm and found myself after 4-5 months spending close to $40-50K dollars, making no progress, and having NO idea where we were in terms of status or what our strategy was to close down the open points. I am certain had I stayed the course, I would have been in for another 100K and ended up with a less attractive settlement than I reached with Culver at the helm. I terminated their services, contacted Culver, and within weeks we were having our first settlement discussions with opposing counsel. It ultimately took another year to wrap the case but I ended up spending less with Culver than I did with my other counsel in their 4 months of wasted paper pushing and got treated like a real human being. I am convinced that we ultimately achieved a more favorable outcome. I also highly recommend this firm if you are the type of client that is semi-capable yourself and willing to save yourself some money by helping Culver and team with some of the work associated with the "administrivia" of the divorce process. Remember, if you are willing to work with Culver and team you will not only save a LOT of money but together, you and his team will reach a much more favorable outcome than you could reach with other lawyers that just push paper around. I highly recommend this firm and would be glad to talk to anyone considering using Culver and his services.

Van Der Jagt Law firm represented me in my divorce of 7.5 years. Nothing was sugar coated and the firm was more than UP FRONT and HONEST with me as to how the dissolution would go. I was told my ex husband would be getting half of my estate...but once we sat down and went through financials etc... He ended up getting only 10% of what I thought I was going to owe him. And that was a great relief especially seeing that I'm the one who pays ALL the bills upfront and in full. The WHOLE process was smooth and seamless. This firm handled every piece of paper work, phone calls and court appointments. EVERYONE was courteous and professional at all times even as cried on visiting the office and meeting my attorney. I AM MORE THAN HAPPY of the outcome and I so appreciate all this firm did for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Angela
