great lawyer

I hate using lawyers and think most are incompetent. However i found a great one in Mr. Ditlow. He helped me resolve a custody issue with my sons mother and was great to work with. He communicated well, was detailed, and was very knowledgeable. He returned every email and phone call i made to him in ...a very timely manner and actually explained things to me in a way that i could understand. I hope i never need him again but if i do he is my man.

Recommendation for Joseph A. Ditlow and the Law Office of Angela Roff

I would recommend Joseph A. Ditlow, who works at the law office of Angela Roff, to anyone looking for a trustworthy lawyer. Both he and Angela helped me navigate the divorce process. It was an extremely challenging 2-year period for me, and with their help, I managed to transform my life all on my ...own. Both lawyers always knew the law, kept their deadlines, kept me on task as to what needed to happen and, generally, kept emotions out of all of it. I hope I don't need their services again... But I would most certainly look to them first.

Competant, Compassionate and Insightful

After speaking to several attorneys about a serious traffic infraction involving a teenager, we settled on Jad Ditlow for several reasons. Foremost, Jad is a person of integrity who we felt an immediate trust for. This trust was born out of his ability to be compassionate towards our circumstan...ces, his knowledge of the charges and the system, and the realistic interpretation of possible outcomes. He did not sugar coat these possible outcomes nor promise us too much in terms of possible outcomes. He was able to connect with our teen as well which was important for us. Jad was not a high pressure lawyer and even advised that we could possibly handle this case on our own but he gave us such a peace of mind that we insisted on retaining his services. He reviewed the legal process with us and was clear about his process (including billing procedures). After speaking with us, Jad researched our case and contacted the appropriate authorities to negotiate a lesser charge based on our circumstances. He made several important recommendations to us that assisted in attaining these lesser charges as well. Entering into court, Jad walked us through the procedures and prepared us and our teen well for what we were going to experience. Because of his preparation and good communication skills with us, there were no surprises to us on that day. We were not disappointed at any point along the way with Jad's services and I would highly recommend him to others.

Excellent Representation

I was very happy with Josephs knowledge of colorado law and my rights as a father. He treated me with respect and helped me threw a very hard time with my ex wife. I was able to fianalize a very stressful divorce with a very good out come. I would recammend Joseph to anyone. He was very good at keepi...ng me calm and made sure that i was not taken advatige of by my ex wife and her lawer. He is a very honest and hard working lawer. He did not waist time and was able to take care of issues as they arose.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
