Stephen Closky, Divorce in Boulder

Throughout the process, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't feel like I was advised as well as the opposing party in preparation & answering financials. All along the way, I tried to establish expectations as to cost and the best legal options considering my budget, but I never felt like my quest...ions were answered. Steve would likely be a fine attorney if money was no object but unless you are ready to spend tens of thousands on fees to get divorced I suggest hiring a less expensive lawyer that you can afford to actually use.

Excellent Family Law Practitioner

Steve is an extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and creative family law practioner who gives his clients honest assessments and practical strategies for their cases. He is a zealous, but realistic, advocate which is particularly helpful in domestic cases where there can be such strong emotions as p...art of the case. He communicates well about status and responds quickly and helpfully to questions or concerns. He staffs his cases appropriately and accurately represents anticipated costs. His billing rate and practices are fair. The bottom line is that I can (and often do) recommend Steve wholeheartedly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
