      Review Aaron Belzer

      Very satisfied and highly recommended

      Posted by

      We retained Mr. Belzer at Burnham Law to help us with a contract dispute. We were very satisfied with the process and outcome. Mr. Belzer is very bright, articulate, detail oriented and effective. His support staff was also excellent. Mr. Belzer appeared to have extensive knowledge of the law surrounding our dispute with the contractor. In addition, he was very precise with respect to schedules and deadlines. After we explained the details of our situation, Mr. Belzer wrote a very detailed letter to the contractor regarding the breach of contract. The letter was clear and comprehensive. The contractor responded within the allotted timeframe that Mr. Belzer requested. He was able to resolve our dispute and 100% of our funds were returned. This also allowed us to avoid litigation. Our only regret is that we didn’t call him sooner to help with our situation. We highly recommend Mr. Belzer and Burnham Law and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

      Outstanding Attorney!

      Posted by

      I would highly recommend Mr. Aaron Belzer and the Burnham Law team for their outstanding work and communication while handling my legal matter. Aaron’s knowledge of Law and forethought lead to a successful outcome of my difficult situation. Aaron and his team continually displayed professional and courteous interaction throughout the process. He answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner and would provide updates on new developments. This old paratrooper cannot thank him and his team enough for a job well done! Thanks again!

      Aaron is an absolutely outstanding, first-rate attorney. Insightful, strong, articulate, with deep integrity. He has great heart, warmth, and magnetism. Brilliant writer. Top strategist. He has made the most profound impact I think a person could make on my life and the lives of my children...I am immeasurably grateful for what he has done for my family.

      A breath of fresh air

      Posted by

      Aaron and his team took a fresh look at divorce-related property dispute that had been dragging on and on. They provided expert guidance on how to (finally) wrap it up and how to do so in a manner that was not inflammatory to anyone involved. Most importantly, he guided the process to a fast resolution that could not be revisited. My only regret was not having Aaron represent me through the entire process. If you want the most intellectually capable team on your side and want to avoid painful over billing and your case being dragged out for months, I cannot recommend a better attorney than Aaron Belzer.

      Excellent Service

      Posted by

      I hired Aaron and his team to assist in an APR case that unfortunately became stressful and complicated at times. There were many times I was very concerned with what the outcome would be. Throughout the case whenever things got ugly, Aaron and his team always made me feel comfortable that we were in control of the case and that I would get exactly what I was hoping for out of the case. They made sure me getting as much time with my son as possible was the primary goal and everything worked out great. I would highly recommend them for future cases

      Worth every penny, intelligent, passionate. - DISMISSED ALL CLAIMS.

      Posted by

      Having a lawsuit brought against you is probably one of the most traumatic things a person could go through. Having a frivolous lawsuit brought against you, adds bricks to the weight. Aaron Belzer took our case on, (in a hurry on our end) unsure of all the exact details... but he sure brought himself up to speed quickly. He wanted to know everything. He even wanted to hear how we felt, how we were doing, how our children were doing. And he remembered everything regarding our case. From what we told him, transcripts, motions filed, down to the finest detail. Mr. Belzer is full of insight, and he knows just what card of law to put on the table, and when. He was phenomenal at answering any questions we had, and was straightforward about his opinion and strategy. At one point in time during this lawsuit, my husband was so angry at the Plaintiffs, Mr. Belzer got to be (in my eyes) a “verbal punching bag” of my husband. But he stood there with complete compassion and professionalism and redirected my husbands anger and stress, to positivity for our end of the case. We attended one pretrial, which was set for continuance. At our second pretrial, Mr. Belzer swung every single claim (5 of them !) against us out. DISMISSED. He was remarkably professional, and prompt when it came to speaking to the court. On one occasion he stood up reciting statue word for word, with nothing but a blank notebook in front of him. He literally left opposing counsel stumbling for words. Working with Aaron Belzer and the Burnham law firm was a great experience. I hate that they only give me an option for 5 stars, they deserve 10. We will stick with him, and the firm always for any legal assistance we need in the future.

      Literary Master

      Posted by

      My wife are working with the Burnham law firm on an appeals case. Not only did Todd give me a free consultation with himself as the managing partner, he gave me another with Aaron upon my request, because Todd had told us that Aaron was his appeals guy. After my initial conversation with Aaron I felt comfortable to move forward. In our initial pleadings and drafts for our appeal we have noticed Aaron to be a literary master. His meticulous writing style is Grade A and premium. Our trial lawyer has collaborated with Aaron on our case and she went as far as stating that "he wrote in two pages what I would have needed 6 pages". Aaron has been exceptional to work with, and I look forward to writing the Burnham team additional reviews in the future as they have been exceptional to work with.

      Very happy to have hired Aaron Belzer

      Posted by

      Knowing that Aaron was there to support me and my case made a world of difference. I knew he was in my corner and would be a voice when I needed it. He was incredibly responsive, always calling or emailing me when he said he would and in response to my calls and emails. He gave clear, concise direction and scenarios for me to work with. Additionally, he reminded me of various facts and details of my case, that I sometimes didn't think of at the time. I would 100% utilize his services again if I needed a lawyer in the future.

      Family law contempt case - co petitioner

      Posted by

      Mr. Belzer was my lawyer in a family law contempt case. He was aware of the law in a fashion that he knew opposing counsel had filed the wrong kind of contempt. We won the case not just because of the technicality, but because Aaron took the time to do his job effectively. Outside of the legal aspect, he was kind, considerate, and respectful that I wanted him fighting for my kids with me. He listened, respected what I had to say, gave sound and effective advice, and was easy to work with. I would recommend Mr. Belzer to others having child custody issues. Thank you, Mr. Belzer.

      Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

      I endorse this lawyer. Working with Aaron on a contested dissolution with children was a breath of fresh air. While most attorneys in family law seem to want to fight simply to increase their bills, Aaron understood what issues were worth fighting for and what issues should be resolved. Thankfully with him as opposing counsel, we were able to reach a good resolution for all parties and I look forward to working with him again.

      Aaron is keenly intelligent in his advocacy for clients, thinking creatively outside of the box to achieve results that other attorneys simply did not consider. His ability to research, analyze, and lay out arguments in writing showcases his time working for the Colorado Court of Appeals. I am not only proud to work with Aaron, but he is a credit to the Burnham Law Firm team. Aaron is also talented in litigating civil and contracts matters, as well as evaluating cases for potential appeals. I can't recommend him highly enough.
