The best lawyer I've met

Hands down, the best lawyer I've met! Todd changed my opinion on lawyers in general and made my bankruptcy the most stress free, easiest thing I have ever had to do with the government and trust men I used to work for them in the US Army. Todd is passionate about his job, compassionate to his clients... and is on top of his game for bankruptcy. I would recommend him to anyone for the best chance at the best outcome possible! Thanks again Todd! Chris

Bankruptcy is such a stressful thing and Todd made sure to help us along the way and answered any and all questions we had and made the wh...ole process as painless as could be! Thank you so much Todd for helping us start our life over I'm glad we chose you!

Posted by Karen | October 01, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

I had troubles....

I was/am an inexperienced landlord who ran into issues with a tenant I had just signed a new lease with. I did a lot of research into my rights and tenant rights and ended up with a lot of information that I couldn't to put together in a cohesive manner that I could understand. Finally I decided th...at for the first time in my life I needed to talk to a lawyer. It was a scary process for me because, unfortunately, generally you don't know if a lawyer is good or bad until you're so far into it that there's no turning back. Well, I got lucky that Todd found me and threw me a lifesaver! After speaking with him for just 20 minutes, I knew that he could/would help me and I felt that burden I'd been carrying around for weeks lifted off me! I knew I had created much of the situation I was in through ignorance, but he didn't make me feel stupid about it and instead only helped me navigate through it all. I also know that Todd is going to continue to be part of my ongoing education as a landlord and it's great to know that I have someone I can turn to with questions or if I need help. I look forward to working with Todd in the future and I seriously cannot thank him enough for ending the sleepless nights that this situation created for me. He's such a kind and caring man and I feel very fortunate to have found him. Sometimes something really terrific can come out of something really terrible. Thank you Todd!

WOW! Thank you Karen for your very kind review. I actually have a lifesaver hanging on my office door. That's funny you referenced one without having seen it in person! Awesome. I am so happy to have helped you and will continue to do so. Thanks again for such great praise. I'll be in touch ... good luck with the cleanup.

Posted by anonymous | May 21, 2015 | Landlord & Tenant

I never thought a 15 minute phone call could give me so much relief!

I am going through an incredibly confusing and sticky landlord/tenant situation and I need some legal advice ASAP so I could prepare for a meeting tomorrow. Todd helped me wade through my tenant rights as a subleasee and gave me a helpful but realistic expectations. Thanks Todd, I hope I won't need y...our help again with this situation anytime soon (knock on wood), but I will be sure to call if I do! :)

What a Godsend!

My life was falling apart and needed the help of an attorney. Todd was fabulous. I was scared and so nervous with regard to filing for bankruptcy, but Todd took over and guided me every step of the way. He has always been kind, caring and knowledgeable with regard to my case. He responds promptly... when called upon and goes above and beyond expectations. His sense of humor makes the entire bankruptcy process more tenable. I would, without a doubt, refer anyone to Todd as he is first-class in every way.

"Todd Stoneman is the most authentic attorney I know in Colorado. He has mastered the art form of deconstructing difficult legal problems while always making the client's needs a priority. Todd's unique personal and professional experiences prior to becoming an attorney bring vitality to an otherwise bland industry. I often refer to Todd individuals who have legal issues with bankruptcy and criminal defense in the Denver and Boulder metro areas."

I am happy to endorse Mr. Stoneman, he is an asset to the profession."

"If you are in need of a top notch litigant then you should trust Mr. Stoneman with your matter whether it is a bankruptcy matter, criminal defense matter, or landlord tenant matter, you can rest easy knowing that you will be in good hands and have thorough representation. As we are attorneys, we do not practice in every field of law and thus, we are faced with situations where we need to refer people to different attorneys and I would not hesitate to refer people to Mr. Stoneman."

"I endorse Todd in all possible areas - not just criminal defense. If I needed to hire an attorney, I'd have no hesitation hiring him, and I can't imagine choosing to be partners with any other attorney. Todd is brilliantly smart, ethical, and enjoyable to work with. If you're looking for a personable attorney who will do everything in his power to get the best possible outcome for you - including brainstorming solutions beyond the "norm" - Todd should be your first choice. If you want a stuffy, stereotypical attorney, look elsewhere!"

"Todd is insightful and very intelligent. In smaller legal communities such as Longmont, it's important to maintain the highest level of integrity; but Todd maintains a reputation in the Metro Area community at large of being a capable and compassionate lawyer. I continue to refer clients outside of my own practice areas to him and am always confident that he will represent them with undivided loyalty."
