Bridgette DuCote Kaczmarek

Bridgette took my case over the phone. She was my 3rd attorney and of the 3 she provided what I believe to be the most transparent, realistic strategy for what would become a 7+ year battle with one of the most crazy making contentious attorneys in the pikes peak regain in a court room governed by on...e of the most “legislates from the bench” judges ever on the books for Elpaso county. Bridgette helped level set expectations on how family court really works vs what we have learned through urban understanding and TV. Bridgette does not just say she is an advocate of a father’s rights, she practices it. There was no shortage of emotion in my case, but Bridgette was able to manage me as her client and kept me focused on the end state. We did not win every battle, but my children did win the war and that would not have been possible without Bridgette’s level of expert understanding of the state statutes along with the lunatic dynamics of the family courtroom where the judge alone is the jury and executioner. Bridgette was timely in responses to motions and court appearances. She executed motions with the precision of a surgical tool. Bridgette was always available to address concerns and strategies. I never once felt that that my needs or concerns were beneath her. Bridgette’s moral compass along with her high standard of ethics was refreshing in today’s world of money hungry attorneys. Her billing was always more than fair and always accurate. As a matter of fact, you get more than you pay for with Bridgette which is rare in family law.

Bridgette was fighting a child custody case for me. She brought action against my ex for violating the parenting agreement. However, when it came to trial, she "forgot" evidence to submit and stood in the courtroom like a limp noodle not fighting for me at all. In fact, she let my ex lie on the st...and and knowing that, never called her out. I was also going to be on military duties which Bridgette had known about for over 6 months. She waited too long and delayed in getting trial dates that the trial ended up occurring while I was gone. I had to appear by phone and was unable to do any trial prep with her. She blamed it on me. She caused me to lose the motion against my ex, thus incurring the ex's attorney's fees. I told Bridgette because it was her fault, she should pay. She refused. I would NEVER recommend anyone use this attorney. She has no backbone, no common sense and "forgets" evidence about your case. The only thing she seems to remember is getting her money.

Bridgette has been a rock for me during a very difficult and very challenging child custody case that has required a lot of attention with therapists, court and others involved. She has kept me on track and reminding me things will not stay the same. She has taken great care in my case and continues ...to keep me aware of any action that may need to take place and keeping me informed every step of the way. If only there were more attorneys like her that truly care for their clients like she does. Thank you Bridgette for all the enduring hard work you and Your team have done for my family.

Thank you Bridgette. You took my case by telephone, and we never met in person. But that did not stop you from being attentive, helpful, and caring. I appreciate your candor and directness, while still giving me hope. You listened to my side, believed in me, and fought for me sight unseen. You also ...explained the law as we went along and what was needed up front very well. I highly recommend Bridgette for Restraining order, Separation/Divorce, Custody, and Fathers Rights problems in a courtroom setting.

Bridgette is one of the best attorney's in town. She provided excellent guidance and counsel in my son's parenting time case. She was instrumental in helping my son and the baby's mother come to a compromise that worked for everyone. I would highly recommend Bridgette to any father that is trying ...to stay involved in their children(s) lives.
