Dane Torbenson, Divorce and separation Attorney on Dec 15, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
John was hired at the last minute before trial by the opposing party in a dissolution of marriage matter. In spite of becoming involced so late in the matter, he came to trial well prepared and was a strong advocate for his client. He has been professional and courteous in all our dealings, and I have no hesitation in endorsing him with respect to any family law matter.

John Haas and I are both Special Counsel at Litvak Litvak, Mehrtens and Carlton, P.C.. John is a superb litigator with a professional demeanor that I believe is the epitome of professionalism an ethical behavior. He has assisted me in making legal arguments that are complex.
Mark Chapleau, Family Attorney on May 20, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
John and I worked on a case on opposite sides. Despite many difficult issues that arose during our case, we were able to fashion an agreement that met the needs of both clients while maintaining our strong advocacy for our clients. Of equal importance was the fact that we were able to stay above the fray of the underlying matter and maintain a professional and cordial relationship as counsel.

Scott Goldman, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 14, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Mr. Haas is among the leading divorce lawyers in the Denver Metropolitan Area and I thoroughly believe that he will put up the fight that the client requires, but remains equally objective about the position that the client may be in. You will not go wrong with hiring Mr. Haas.
I have known John Haas for over 10 years now: as a fellow attorney practicing in Denver, as the attorney who represented me in my divorce, and as a friend. I can say without a doubt that I am glad to have known John in all these capacities, and am better off for it. He is a respected member of the legal community, did an outstanding job handling my divorce, and is a good friend. If you want your attorney to listen to your needs and provide you with effective representation, John's your man.
