Do your homework

Mr. William”Bill” Thode is the worst Atty you could ever hire! I hired him for a divorce my husband initiated after 35 years of marriage. I was broken and didn’t know who to turn to. I did a Google search and found Mr. Bill Thode, He had great credentials. Boy was I wrong I had never hired an attorne...y before, but I knew something was wrong because he never returned my phone calls and then he became so nasty. He would yell at me! He promised me he would represent me after one of his colleagues fell ill and was hospitalized for months, but that never happened. Bill never attended any of the pre-trial or the trial itself. I was never given any instructions on how to prepare. NOT one piece and I mean not one piece of evidence was put in front of the judge. The judge deemed me irresponsible, inadequate and said he had never heard of the things that I had to put forward because my attorneys never told me what to do!!!! I relied on them. I paid over 80K to him and in return received 20% of my husband’s and my assets I was humiliated and depressed. My life is never been the same! noy only was I going through the worst times of my life, Mr. Bill Thode made it 100 times worse!!!! . Do not use Bill phone for your Atty. Stay far away and run far away.!!!!!

Best decision i couldve made

I hired Mr. Thodes firm to represent me in my custody. My attorney brian boney, is oustanding in taking time to understand my needs. my daughter is the most important aspect of my life and Denver family Laywers made sure to take my evidence to court and show the courts just how much she means to me. ...Im extremely happy with my decision to hire this firm. Custody court can be a very intimidating and scary place especially for fathers. Denver Family Laywers take the time to explain things in a way i can understand and move through my case with less stress. knowing i have someone who has the knowledge and drive to represent me in my case has made this transition into my new life with my daughter so much easier.

Good counsel at good rates

If you have a situation that requires legal help it can be stressful to find someone that can represent you. It is a pleasure to recommend the Thode Law Firm as a non-stressful alternative to help with your legal situation. You can count on them to work as a team to address your conflict and lower yo...ur stress level.

Great law firm Great people

Bill and his team really helped me through a tough spot in my life. Family court is not where you want to wind up, but if you find yourself headed there then you better believe you’re going to need the best legal team you can have in your corner and I couldn’t recommend this law firm enough. Not onl...y did they help me navigate through this difficult process but they also were able to obtain a better result than i ever thought possible. This is the team you want backing you when so much is at stake. Don’t hesitate to hire Bill Thode and his team !
