also known as Chessie Morgan
I have built a legal career working for over 12 years exclusively on cases of divorce and other family law matters. I chose the practice of family law because of my deep passion for assisting clients and their children through challenging and, oftentimes, traumatic situations. I understand that every client and family is unique and has different legal needs. My clients say I approach every case with compassion, thoughtfulness, and a solution-oriented focus. Although some family law cases must ultimately be resolved through litigation, I believe in working with clients to explore a variety of means for achieving their goals.
Here are what some past clients have said about my legal advocacy:
Francesca “Chessie” Morgan crossed my path quite by chance. One of my domestic violence advocates said, “It’s one in a million chance, but call this number (Colorado Legal Service). I called. And Chessie entered my life. Almost daily for nearly two years.
Despite my permanently moving to a rural, out-of-state mountain village with oh-so intermittent cell and internet reception, Chessie consistently gave that extra effort necessary for safe and equitable solutions.
What could have been resolved quickly took months. And months. And more months. Chessie skillfully negotiated with my contentious now ex … and his opposing counsel. She had to establish deadlines for every requisite interaction, or we’d still be in court. She never once engaged in their drama and delay tactics.
Without hesitation, I recognize and recommend Chessie as an amazing family law attorney. She is always and efficiently focused on timely resolutions. Her ability to explain the process and keep it in forward motion put me at ease. She took care of me when I couldn’t take care of myself.
It was my pleasure and an honor to work with Chessie. The Kelley Rider Goodwin firm is lucky to have her. Grateful is an understatement. Thanks, Chessie!
Another grateful client:
Just wanted to thank you for everything. I mean, truly. You not only helped and I mean helped greatly, you were so supportive. You listened to my requests and fought hard. You advised me on what and when to ask for things. And in the end, we have our home. Thank you.
A client in their own words:
You made this difficult process much easier through your honesty and integrity. I appreciate all of your effort and advice. You are truly talented.
Another example of my excellent, effective advocacy:
You working with me through this tough process has been a blessing. I have nothing but good things to say as my experience with you has been great with professionalism from communication, guidance and courage. So thank you so much!
