HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Travis represented me on a parental allocation case. I can’t even begin to say how thankful I am to have him by my side as my attorney. If I could give 10 stars I would. From the very beginning from the time of the consultation Travis was highly knowledgeable, professional and very upfront and compa...ssionate about my case. Travis was highly efficient with negotiation and was able to have it settled with the best outcome. Travis and Nette always answered my questions and response time was absolutely amazing. I felt very comfortable and reassured of all decisions and questions I had and information to proceed forward with my case. Travis and Nette worked highly efficiently to ensure the correct steps were taken for the best interest of our child. I wouldn’t have wanted any other attorney by my side during the most difficult time of my life. Travis is one of the best attorneys in Colorado and I’m honored to have had the opportunity to work with him and would highly recommend

A Tenacious Advocate for Truth and Justice!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had Travis Whitson as my lawyer during one of the most challenging times of my life. If I could give him ten stars, I would. Travis went above and beyond in fighting for my rights, ensuring that the truth about my case was brought to light and giving ...a voice to fathers like me who faced an unjust system. My case was undoubtedly complex, involving multiple layers of legal intricacies and political aspects that cast an unfair shadow on my character. Travis fearlessly navigated through these complexities, showing exceptional skill and dedication every step of the way. It was evident from the outset that Travis genuinely cared about my well-being and the outcome of my case. He was not just a lawyer; he became a trusted confidant who kept me informed and involved in the process. From the very first consultation, Travis demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues at hand. He meticulously explained the legal processes involved in fighting the county's lack of father's rights protections, setting realistic expectations and outlining a strategic approach. Travis's expertise and knowledge in family law were nothing short of remarkable, and it was evident that he had a wealth of experience in handling similar cases. Throughout the entire journey, Travis and his paralegal! The entire firm it seemed, worked tirelessly, leaving no stone unturned. Their commitment to my case was unwavering, and they made sure to explore every possible avenue for success. They took their time to investigate the details, gather evidence, and build a strong defense that countered the wrongful assumptions against my character. The attention to detail and thorough preparation was outstanding. Travis's courtroom presence was truly impressive. He was articulate, persuasive, and demonstrated a deep passion for justice. Watching him advocate for my rights was inspiring and gave me confidence that I had the best representation possible. Travis's ability to navigate complex legal arguments and present them in a compelling manner was a game-changer. Beyond his legal expertise, Travis showed genuine empathy and compassion. He understood the emotional toll the case was taking on me and my family, and was always there to provide support and reassurance. Travis and his paralegal gave my family unwavering support and encouragement and were very instrumental in helping me stay as strong as possible, sharing my rights for support, throughout the process. In conclusion, hiring Travis Whitson, and Nette was the best decision I could have made and I fear what the outcome of my case would have been without their support. The hard work, dedication, and determination ultimately secured a favorable outcome for me, it allowed me to see the best possible outcome for my case and to prove to myself, that I’m more than assumption and opinions, and I cannot thank them enough. If you are seeking a lawyer who will fight tirelessly for your rights, bring truth to the forefront, and treat you with respect and empathy, look no further. Travis Whitson is an exceptional attorney, and I wholeheartedly give him my highest recommendation. Thank you, Travis, for everything you have done for me and my family.

Jo

I hired travis as my attorney for a child custody case back in 2015. He was amazing he answered all my questions an did exactly what I wanted him to do keeping in mind my son an not letting me get so upset about stuff. He was very honest and the other things he said would be true are very much true h...ere 4 years later. I would hire him over anyone again if I needed to.

To the point... a very good thing

Had a free consult with Travis, I had an idea of what to expect, but he brought up points that I hadn't considered. Very worth my time, if I need to retain an attorney, I would have felt confident in hiring him.

Excellent Gentleman Attorney

Mr. Whitson was very honest & caring regarding my nonstop litigation from the nightmare on elm street my 17yr old son's poor excuse for a father. I have been explaining my situation to several attorneys & Mr. Whitson was amazing guiding me about the WHAT IF'S & the WHAT RESULT that could happen if I ...took a wrong path with my custody issues. This the 1st attorney who was all ABOUT THE MONEY! He is very detailed and knowledgeable about all situations that could be presented in a case for both sides. I never met a caring true person until Mr. Travis S. Whitson. He is truly a REAL PERSON who cares about FAMILY.
