Highly recommend

I had a very positive experience with Stahly Mehrtens, specifically with Brittany Frisbie and Nichole Perry. Brittany and Nichole were knowledgable, responsive, and efficient, and ultimately achieved the exact result I had hoped for. Furthermore, their patience and understanding helped to make a diff...icult and painful situation much more manageable. I highly recommend Brittany, Nichole, and the entire firm.

Guiding Light During My Darkest Hour

Although the circumstances of my needing a divorce attorney were one of the hardest and most unexpected life changes I have ever gone through, I feel truly lucky and beyond grateful to have found Todd and his firm. From my first phone call where I had to hang up because I was crying so hard and could...n't speak, everyone from the receptionist to all of the legal assistants, paralegals, and Todd made me feel like they legitimately cared about me as a person. They lifted me on the days when I didn't think I could make it through, gently guided me to make decisions that were best for me, and allowed me to see that I am stronger than I ever knew possible. At the darkest time in my life, Todd and his entire team made the process as easy as possible for me. He was kind, he listened and went out of his way to even suggest a counselor for me to see when he could see I was struggling. When there was a time conflict with one of my appointments with him, he even met with me on a weekend. The communication was always prompt, and warm, and I felt completely taken care of throughout the process. Todd's kindness is matched equally by his knowledge of the law and his tenacity, and that is also reflected by every single person I dealt with.

If I were getting divorced again, Todd would be my first call

Todd was co-counsel for me on what ended up being a very painful and drawn out divorce... but ultimately we prevailed on everything important. I don't plan to remarry or re-divorce, but if somehow this happened Todd would be my first call. Initially I screened Todd and went with another attorney w...ho was more expensive... I thought I was getting bigger guns. Big mistake. Todd can come off as Boulder-casual but he's actually a total pro--when my case was going sideways Todd was able to come in and turn it around. He did a fantastic job prepping me for depositions and testimony, and was fantastic in front of the court, an arbiter, and in depositions. Todd is someone you can rely on. He does what he says he's going to do when he says he's going to do it, and is a great thought partner and strategic mind in helping navigate big decisions on a case. He doesn't promise you the world in his sales pitch--which is good as you want someone to inject realism into your expectations.

competent, honest, resolution oriented

in a very high conflict divorce with massive disintegrity on the part of the opposing party and the opposing legal representation, Todd was skillful, extremely well prepared, calm, logical, reasoned, and focused on cutting short the war and ending the scorched earth, let's make everything melt down s...trategy the opposing firm had, which inflated legal fees well beyond the reasonable norm for a divorce of this nature. While the Colorado Bar advised me when I attempted, unsuccessfully, to file a complaint against the opposing attorney, that the opposing attorney NOT lying on behalf of his client would be an act of misrepresentation, Todd has higher ethical standards than that. He advised me to not ever stoop to the level of the opposition, and his ethics stand him and his reputation in good stead with the revolving door of ill-prepared, often novice judges Boulder County Courts parades through divorce cases. For a very fair, ethical, meticulous and strategic lawyer who seeks to arrive at a fair, speedy and efficient outcome, Todd is highly recommended.

Having Todd Stahly and his team on my side has been a blessing.

I hired Todd Stahly after interviewing several local attorneys, and am extraordinarily grateful that I hired him (and that he was accepting new clients). My divorce was complicated, acrimonious and lengthy due to the contentious and difficult nature of my ex-husband; the complexity of our assets; an...d the fact that we have young children. Todd and his superb team guided me through the process with the perfect combination of toughness AND kindness and compassion. His experience, knowledge and talent combined with his ability to negotiate and fight for the best situation for me leaves me feeling hopeful for my future at the end of this traumatic process rather than ragged and beaten down. It's also important to know that he is very knowledgeable and capable of handling complex financial asset situations. Finally, he has strong relationships with local experts who were brought in as necessary to support various aspects of the divorce process. If someone is looking for an attorney that knows not only the law, but also how to handle all of the subtleties and complexities of the process, then you should hire Todd Stahly and his team.
