As a family law attorney, I help people extricate themselves from marriages and relationships that are no longer workable.

Posted by Dan | August 14, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Robin made all the difference!

My health had deteriorated dramatically since my divorce; I lost my job, medical bills skyrocketed and I could no longer afford the alimony. Yet my ex and her lawyer kept hammering me for more money and claimed I was not too sick to work (I had advanced stage cancer with kidney failure!). The stress ...made me even sicker. So I badly needed help from a strong and confident lawyer with a good understanding of post-divorce maintenance issues. Googled and discovered Robin, who literally "wrote the book" on this matter for Colorado! She knew exactly how to proceed and her confidence in handling my situation made me feel a lot better. Within 8 weeks, she secured a 50% reduction in my alimony obligation. The following year, she reduced my life insurance obligation by half and resolved complex issues about my stock holdings. Perhaps most importantly, I found out that she has a great reputation among her peers, respected by the judges and feared by opposing counsel. I couldn't be more pleased with Robin's work on my behalf.

Best case scenarios with her involvement.

Highly skilled with calming compassion is how I would describe my favorite attorney, Robin Beattie. My divorce was complicated and painful as cases involving children can especially be. Thankfully I was able to find Robin who possess the very high level of skill required to successfully intervene in... a difficult case where I feared all hope was lost. After a tough start with another attorney I researched long and hard to find the best I could find. Robins empathetic calmness was the reassurance I welcomed during the more difficult times. I have referred great friends and clients to Robin with the sound confidence that best case scenarios are probable with her involvement.

Excellent Attorney

Robin is extremely knowledgeable. She handled an unusual custody case for us with a successful outcome. She was always responsive and kept us updated on the status of our case, she even called us after hours and on the weekend. She was always conscientious of our finances and kept us on track. She h...andled our case with innovation and professionalism. She is very personable and approachable. I would recommend Robin without reservation or hesitation. She is a great attorney.

The firm is Friendly & Very Courteous. When you cannot seem to understand the reasoning of our judges or court system, she t...akes the time to help with this. I believe that she is one of the best attorneys to hire & have represent you!! Thanks for the Great work & results!!
