Least Child Focused Attorney I have ever encountered

My experience with Rebecca Pepin was the complete opposite of what her biography suggests. In court, she came across as arrogant, dismissive, and shockingly unconcerned with my child’s safety. When I told the judge my child was in imminent danger because of her client’s actions, the expression she di...rected toward both of us made it clear she viewed my concerns as exaggerated or inconvenient. In my opinion, she relied on intimidation rather than integrity. Her loud, dominating tone, irrelevant case law, and strategic pressure felt designed to overwhelm mothers who are already stressed and vulnerable. Nothing about her behavior suggested compassion or child-centered advocacy. Based solely on what I witnessed, she appeared comfortable presenting things in ways that felt misleading or distorted, especially when describing anyone who opposed her client. In my experience, she even framed a repeated question—asked only because her client avoided answering the first time—as “harassment.” That accusation felt less like a fact and more like a tactic. One thing that stood out to me after reviewing her online presence is that she has no reviews from single mothers in high-conflict custody cases. In my personal view, that absence speaks volumes. From what I experienced, she did not treat protective mothers with respect or empathy. Instead, it felt like she used her background in domestic violence advocacy not to help victims, but in ways that ultimately benefited the very types of individuals those victims often need protection from. That was deeply unsettling. And here is the harsh truth I took away: her confidence seems to come not from compassion or credibility, but from knowing the system so well that she appears comfortable bending narratives in whatever direction benefits her client. The disconnect between the attorney described on her website and the one who showed up in the courtroom was striking. If you are a parent entering Colorado family court — especially a single mother advocating for your child’s safety — I hope my experience helps you walk in with more awareness than I had. Awareness is protection.

The most professional team I’ve worked with

I initially started my case with Rebecca and eventually it was overseen by her. She was really straightforward and to the point. When we went to mediation, she worked well with the mediator and I was able to resolve my case at that point without going to court. After my case was settled, I spoke with... another attorney about a specific situation and she wasn’t nearly as friendly or helpful as Rebecca but everyone else on the team was great. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca!

NEVER MET HER IN PERSON

Received an email from her. She said she did not handle my kinds of cases anymore, and was going to refer to me one of her partners, who did. It was that simple.

Rebecca Pepin w/ David I Root

Rebecca, is an outstanding lawyer. Her people skills are top notch, very caring, considerate. Knowledge of the CO. divorce system is up to date, mediation skills are on target and very experienced. I have retained Rebecca's services twice and couldn't have been with a better attorney and firm. Compas...sion is not something learned in school, it's by going through very difficult times with people when they are at their very most vulnerable time in probably their whole life and Rebecca shines at times like these! I would recommend Rebecca and her firm to anybody. You just have to listen to her, weigh what she says, talk out all the options and she has the skill and experience to help guide you through these difficult decisions.

Very Grateful to have found Rebecca

I found Rebecca Pepin after talking with several attorneys through an employee assistance program. After talking with her for the first time I realized she was the most equipped to help me with some tough child custody issues. Rebecca knows how the system works and understands what the courts and j...udges expect. What really sets Rebecca apart is her ability to strategize! She knows when it’s time to proceed and carefully plans how to do so, always thinking several steps ahead. She has never gouged me on fees unlike another attorney did when I was going through my divorce. Rebecca has been able to help navigate me through a very stormy time in life while always having my kid’s best interest in mind. I’m very grateful to have found her.
