Great representation when you need it!

Travis Law Group was awesome!!! They represented me in my contempt case against my Ex-wife and I was very, very happy with the end result. They even helped me get a portion of my lawyer fees back ($3,000.00 to be exact) due to it being my Exes fault that I had to be in court again. Dauna Overly w...as excellent to work with. She was very responsive and made sure I was kept up to date on everything that was going on with the case with phone calls and almost daily emails and if I had any questions it was answered within a very short period of time, usually within an hour and less than 2. Megan Hersh was also very helpful and super responsive when it came to billing. Any question/s I did not understand about my bill was explained to me in detail and the reply to any such question was swift. The greatest part was when I ran out of cash they allowed me to pay off what I owed by working with me and establishing a payment plan. I will definitely recommend Travis Law Group as I am sure they will take care of other as they did me!! Thanks TLG!!!!!! A Happy Customer!

Real estate issue

We are very satisfied with the service. Richard immediately was on the case and got the threatening messages stopped, explaining that we had no liability in the matter. For peace of mind it was well worth the money and time. We were able to put the issue to bed.

The A-Team

Richard Travis, his firm and the rest of his team (Mr. Anderson, Dauna, Mary, Adele, and JoAnn) are all consummate professionals, from the attorneys and paralegals to their receptionist. I hired Richard Travis at the nascent stages of my highly contested custody battle in 2008. I obtained his firm’...s contact information from my local USAF JAG office at Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs, Colorado. My case lasted a grueling 8 years. Technically, you could say it’s on hiatus or in a “cold war” phase. The case had its ups and downs many times through these 8 years, from a legal and relationship standpoint. However, I’m truly grateful I kept Rich and his team throughout the entire case. By keeping Rich, a certain amount of continuity, investment, and personal bond and connection existed, especially in the final 3 years of my case. There were ups and downs with the case of course, as with any ordeal. But during my family’s dire need of a go-to legal team, and when I (we) needed this requirement the most, I was very rest assured and at ease to have Rich and the rest of his A-team at my side. Yes, I called Rich and Dauna my “A-Team.” I was able to sleep soundly at night knowing that Rich was there at my side in the court room. In family law, for custody battles and divorces I’m sure, it’s hard to feel much optimism. You don’t feel like you win much of anything. Emotions are very high in these situations. Personally, I was going through a lot this whole time. Rich’s outstanding courtroom appearances and having him and Dauna work tirelessly preparing for every court appearance as well all those times in between court appearances, their efforts removed a tremendous amount of stress in my life. I couldn’t put a price on that. Legal fees are going to be high any where you go. However, most people don’t realize the time and stress taken up by these highly stressful times. Of course, there are do-it-yourself legal documents provided by every county court house, and you can save money in the short term. I’ve done this myself. This can work in some situations. Unfortunately, this may not be the most viable and best long term cost solution, for contested and especially for highly contested cases. Not having a legal team or the best-fit legal team to critically think and defend you in a clairvoyant and effective manner under highly stressful times may not produce desirable results, and possibly at the detriment of your children. I’m truly grateful for what Rich and Dauna have done for me and my son. Not enough thanks goes to these two.

Rob, it was an honor and pleasure to work with you these last 8 years. My team and I do our best to make even the most contentious cases less stressful for our clients, and especially the kids involved, like your son. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey through this process, and thanks for taking the time to write a review. Take care, Rich
