Frank A. DeVincent

I was a client of Mr. Frank DeVincent's as I was going through a complicated divorce case that involved a relinquishment request from my previous husband of our daughter. After my daughter and I were abandoned by my previous husband, I knew I needed to find one of the best attorneys in the country to secure our safety. Mr. DeVincent, established as one of the 'Super Lawyers' and top 5% attorneys in the state of CO for numerous consecutive years, was recommended to me by another Attorney in California. I immediately felt safe and confident after my initial conversation with Mr. DeVincent. He set aside an hour to speak with me and he compassionately listened to my story and answered all my questions. I spent the next year and 10 months working with him. There was not one occasion while working with him where I felt he was on a time constraint and there was always open communication from him and his amazing associate, Kimberly Heffner. The case became very complicated with the Relinquishment of my ex-husband to our daughter, and Mr. DeVincent did not hesitate to consult necessary resources to strengthen and secure my position. The outcome was successful. My daughter and my future are now secured and I truly feel as though Mr. DeVincent has saved both our lives as this could not have been accomplished without the qualities and professionalism Mr. DeVincent has to offer in his practice. I was amazed in my experience of working with him by his integrity, honesty, professionalism, friendliness, compassion, and support. He was worth every dollar spent and I appreciated the fact that he worked to obtain the outcome as quickly and efficiently as possible. I highly recommend Mr. Frank DeVincent for anyone looking for a high quality Attorney who is driven by integrity. I find it difficult to put into words just how grateful I am for all his work as I feel it could never be enough.

Frank DeVincent knows the law inside and out and helped me with my divorce with more competence and assuredness than any lawyer I have ever seen in any capacity. I have been fortunate enough to become very successful in my life and I was worried that I would not find an attorney who understood the details of my business. Frank not only understood my books and my taxes, but even taught me a few things as well! I cannot imagine why any high-asset individual would use anyone else to get through a difficult divorce.

Frank took over my divorce case after previous lawyers seriously dropped the ball. His level of professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge of my case were outstanding. I would recommend Frank to anyone who wants to win their divorce case. In addition to his strong legal skills, Frank is very personable and friendly.

Retaining an attorney is a precaution on my part because my husband and I have not reached a decision about a divorce. DeVincent's associate called me and asked several questions to prepare for consultation. She clearly spelled out the cost and length of a consult. Once we've reached a decision, I will definitely call DeVincent and schedule an appointment.

I secured Frank's services after he was highly recommended by a friend / legal professional in Denver, and I could not be happier with my decision. Frank is incredibly strategic and straight-forward, which in my mind are two of the most important traits that you need in your partner for legal matters. His sound and thoughtful advice have been spot-on in our last 6-months of working together, and he has helped me navigate through meditation, litigation and ultimately a successful settlement. I cannot recommend Frank enough!

Frank has been assisting me in post-divorce matters with regard to disputes stemming from an MOU that I now understand to be open for multiple interpretations. Frank has been responsive at all times and has been an incredibly strong strategic thought-partner throughout this process, and has successfully led the way for my legal team with regard to negotiations and mediation efforts. I am happy to make myself available for any reference calls to provide more information around how Frank assisted me specifically (my contact information can be obtained from Frank directly). If you are contemplating divorce, or need representation in CO, I cannot endorse Frank enough.

No one wants a divorce. But if you have to go through one, I would highly recommend Frank for the best bet for your money. He is shrewd, effective, extremely experienced, honest and trust-worthy. In my case, I came to Frank when my case reached a point of stagnation. I wondered why my case which in most attorneys' view should have been relatively simple could wind up dragging for so long and costing me so much (and achieved so mediocre, of course!) After consultation with Frank, everything was clear to me. I took his advice and asked my attorney to do what Frank told me. My case ended in two weeks. And most importantly, Frank saved me from wasting tens of thousands of dollars on unwise/unnecessary legal fees and I was also able to keep my assets. I wish I hired Frank from day one!

Frank is extremely bright and knowledgeable. He is always right up front with what to expect, so there are not so many surprises. Among other things I would call him "savvy." He is able to assess a situation and respond to it quickly, accurately and in novel ways. Frank was conscientious about not responding to me when there was nothing to say. I appreciate this because his time is so expensive. Emotionally I was a wreck, and Frank was careful to protect me from things he felt I did not need to know. It is a fine balance judging what is necessary to know and what is not. I feel he discerned that accurately. My feeling is that I landed in the right place. I have great confidence in Frank's knowledge and ability and was and still am grateful to have him on my team. I wish for each of you the trust in your lawyer that I have in him.

Frank DeVincent represented me throughout a difficult separation culminating in a mediated uncontested divorce. Despite professing a desire to cooperate, the opposing attorney wasted everyone's time and money at every step of the process by insisting that I produce every shred of financial documentation relative to separate property over the course of a nearly 30 year marriage. He then turned it over to an accounting "expert" who let it sit on his desk for nearly 4 months. With 2 days left before our mediation date, their "expert" determined that my separate property totaled $0; this outrageous assumption constituted their opening position for mediation, and was immediately dashed by the mediator during the first hour of mediation. Frank's experience and guidance as well as his knowledge of the mediator's tendencies were crucial in effecting a reasonable outcome in my case, which resulted in a single day of mediation and led to an uncontested filing for divorce. Throughout the nearly one year process, Frank always gave advice which was designed to eliminate needless time and effort on his part while accomplishing the objectives that we initially set in our first meeting, even in the face of the extraordinary wasteful and stalling tactics from the opposing side. I would not hesitate to recommend Frank for any similar divorce case.

There are probably 50-60 attorneys in Boulder County who practice Family Law, and I interviewed more than 15 of them over the past 6 months. Frank was head-and-shoulders above them all. Frank inspires trust and confidence. He has been doing this a very long time and it shows: Frank knows the law inside and out and understands how to get cases settled quickly while still representing his client's best interests. Frank specializes in cases with substantial assets. Although I have only a moderate net worth, Frank was still willing to advise me. Most importantly, Frank again-and-again demonstrated that he wanted to preserve that moderate net worth rather than convert it into billable hours for his firm. Example: my wife and I were stuck in mediation over the amount of maintenance (which is the word for "alimony" here in Colorado). Once we negotiated to a point where the disparity between amounts was relatively small, I consulted Frank. Without advising me to take her offer outright, he lent clarity to the situation by reminding me that maintenance is paid in pre-tax dollars and that the cost of going to trial is paid in after-tax dollars. He also gave me a rough estimate of the cost of a trial which was far more than the difference in maintenance I was looking at. This was a very different approach from many attorneys in town who would encourage litigation and even stir up further conflict rather than ameliorate it. Frank kept in constant contact throughout our relationship via phone and email. When I needed to meet in person, he accommodated me within a few days, even if he had to stay into the evening occasionally. He is a thoroughly dedicated professional, exceedingly competent, and was committed to getting my case resolved with minimal pain and heartache, while still representing my best interests. Frank has my strongest possible recommendation.
