Heartfelt Gratitude

Mr. Seth Grob was highly recommended as a reputable attorney when my daughter's divorce case involved a relinquishment of parental rights by her previous husband and proposition that I adopt my granddaughter. Not only was this a unique case, but I also did not live in the same state that the case was... filed. I felt stressed, nervous and frightened. I knew it was vital that I hire a knowledgeable and competent attorney that could handle a complicated and sensitive case such as mine. From the initial consultation with Mr. Grob I had a sense of relief. He not only provided me with the time I needed to voice my concerns regarding the safety of my daughter and granddaughter, but he also established a sense of confidence that he would do whatever it took to ensure that my anxieties would be put to rest. Mr. Grob did just that. There were many barriers throughout the case that Mr. Grob overcame in my favor. He went above and beyond over the course of a complicated and lengthy time to convince the judges that I would adopt my Granddaughter with the intentions to protect her and provide for her in whatever ways needed and continue to love her as her Grandfather. He worked exceptionally well with my daughters attorney's with the same goals in mind as well as worked proactively and effectively along with them to ultimately procure a relatively seamless positive end. In addition to his professionalism, Mr. Grob had a friendly rapport and the way he ran his business with integrity is evident. He is a kind and courteous lawyer that was consistently conservative in his approach to finances and aggressive in his pursuit of accomplishing the goal. Mr. Grob is certainly an expert in his field and I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a top attorney who is competent in family law cases and in whom you can be assured and confident to place the care of your family. He truly was a blessing to me and my family and we are forever grateful.

Amazing and knowledgeable

I had a very unusual circumstance (like most of us needing a family lawyer). I was caring for my nephew for 2 years and was ready to take full custody from his birth parents. I was put in contact with Mr. Grob's law office by the Rocky Mountain Child Advocacy and boy they pointed me in the right dire...ction. Seth was extremely focused and determined since our very first interaction. He explained the process thoroughly and gave accurate timelines. Not once did he skip a detail or hide anything from me which is exactly what you need in someone you are trusting your future with. Seth was constantly in contact and constantly working on my case even despite the MANY roadblocks we encountered. I was an emotional mess anytime something came up that could potentially prevent me from adopting (Other family members objecting and taking me to court, not being able to locate one of the parents). After court date and court date and Seth winning at every turn for me, we reached our final court date this year in which we won adoption!! There was no way without his dedication, straight forward thinking, compassion, focus and overall sheer will power that my adoption would have succeeded. He truly is amazing lawyer and I would recommend ANYONE that needs someone to help them out!

So thankful that we chose Seth to represent our family

I don't think we could have put the fate of our family in better hands. Seth did a great job of keeping us informed and educated throughout our entire adoption process. He and his staff were prompt to respond to our inquiries and quick to share developments in our case. Seth was both professional ...and personable.

Professional, Reliable Attorney

My husband and I worked with Seth for the adoption of our daughter, which was finalized in September. We are now working with him on our second adoption as well. He is incredibly quick to respond and makes himself available to answer questions. Moreover, Seth is always looking out for our best intere...sts. With both adoptions, we've had unusual financial situations arise with other parties (not Seth, but other lawyers and agencies) and Seth has always been quick to advise us and made it apparent that our best interest was his number one priority. He is direct, which my husband and I find refreshing and gives the facts without telling us what we should do. It is clear that his role is to give us all the information possible, while respecting our right to make the ultimate decision. We have truly enjoyed working with him for the past year and a half.

An Honest, Efficient, Responsive Attorney

I consulted with Seth for my consideration of relinquishing parental rights of my adopted children. I first e-mailed him, and he was very quick and responsive, although it was understandable that he could not discuss in details via e-mail. I called to schedule a consultation, and was surprised that h...e answered the phone. It was refreshing to have an attorney so accessible. He told me he would have a meeting in a few minutes and had me talk with his assistant. She was very friendly and tried to schedule me as soon as possible. Then, when I called later, Seth again answered the phone. Before the consultation, he had gone through the information I provided him earlier. He then gave me a thorough introduction of the process. He made very honest and realistic analysis that my case would be very difficult (nearly impossible). He was not condescending as some reviews mentioned. I found him informative, efficient, and looking out for my best interest. He addressed my questions (I had many) in a very efficient, easy to understand fashion. I never once felt that he tried to promise the world or to convince me to retain him. Unlike many people who instantly become judgmental when they hear adoptive parents relinquishing parental rights, he was not judgmental at all and was matter of fact. I was very comfortable talking with him. I appreciate his honesty. I will certainly go to him in the future if I need help related to adoption matters.
