Impeccable representation and the best law firm in Denver

Steven worked alongside Margot on my high conflict case. I was blown away by Stevens ability to pinpoint and reveal the truth in our countless trials when my dishonest, abusive ex husband and his attorneys created a false representation of happened in our marriage. Despite personal attacks from opp...osing counsel, Steven stayed focused and committed to helping my children and I escape the nightmare that had become our lives. Steven played a huge roll in my case and worked incredibly with Margot, ensuring that every base was covered and the truth came to light. Stevens dedication to my case has given me the chance to rebuild my life and build the childhood my children deserve. I cannot recommend Steven and the entire BAM team highly enough!

Steven is the lawyer jackpot!

I was close to a lawyers nightmare when I finally found Steven. Unfortunately, it was after 7 previous attorneys left me with zero trust in family law attorneys and nearly bankrupt. Over 9 years of high conflict litigation with my children’s litigious father, my case has seen almost every possible fi...ling and order that a post-decree case can see. Emergency motions, a PRE investigation, parental alienation, supervised parenting time, DM appointment, sobriety monitoring and countless stipulations entered out of desperation to restore my parenting time, etc, etc. My case is a mess. In 3 months, Steven has made more progress than any number of attorneys has on my case. Steven remains professional, even when I am emotional and not always professional. He has taken the fact that I don’t trust attorneys personal and has made it his goal to invest in my wellbeing and also to turn the nature of my case around. He has connected me with other well known professionals who are experts in high conflict child custody cases and my family has received the best therapy we have ever had. Steven knew exactly the type of person I was up against and for once, my attorney was actually educating me on the unique and troublesome personality type of my ex husband. I trust Steven so much that he will sometimes advise against my preference, but I have learned that he truly knows best and I am able to let him take the lead. If he needs to consult another attorney, the amazing professionals at BAM assist us in making difficult decisions on my case. This year was my first victory in 9 years and I owe every ounce of it to Steven. Steven has saved my life this year in a few ways. I will have Steven on retainer for many more years to come and I hope that I never have to look for another attorney again. I hit the jackpot and my kids did too. My whole family has so much respect for Steven and BAM Family Law, they are absolutely the best!

Efficient, effective, kind and amazing!

Steven and Heather at BAM (and the rest of their stellar team) helped us resolve our custody issues quickly and efficiently. Never did I feel that they were wasting my time and money and they listened to our needs and allowed me to ask questions so that I felt supported and heard and well represented... every step of the way. They were always realistic and ensured that I did not have any false hopes, and in the end all of the motions to change parenting time and decision making were dismissed based upon just the response we submitted, so it was faster and more economical than I could have ever imagined! We have been represented by Heather in the past, and always have been happy. After working with Steven this time, we are also very impressed and if we have to deal with any issues again, we will be back to find Heather and Steven!!! Thank you for all your hard work, we appreciate you both so much!

A Motion to Restrict

My unfortunate case that appeared before my eyes in a matter of seconds from my sons father to restrict all my parenting time ripped my son from my life for 12 days. Completely distraught, angry, confused and left empty of 'what to do' with the bull face, manipulated and utterly exaggerated lies the ...father had said, I was in contact with Mr. Visioli and within 12 hours I had a consultation. I right away felt at ease with him and he gave me honesty, empathy, and most important a game plan to not only show that the father was indeed lying but to show that this motion wasn't at all a reflection of me as a Mother and wasn't deserved and should be lifted. Mr. Visioli during litigation, at the trial, to the father was to the point, stern and was very organized with our "evidence" creating it very easy for all parties to navigate thru his talking points. In the end the Magistrate did lift the Motion to Restrict Parenting time and I was awarded to receive my son immediately after the hearing!! It was the longest and hardest moments of my life since I was blessed with my son in my arms 7 years ago but with the professionalism, dedication, hardworking and determination of Mr. Visioli I now have my son back in my arms and even though my son has complained (lol) I wont ever let him go. I would recommend Mr. Visioli to anyone and hopefully wont have to but when those moments come into your life when the parents cant agree any longer then his counsel is very recommended.
