Happy with our choice

My husband and I spoke to Todd about modifying a parenting plan in my divorce case. The first thing we noticed was how friendly everyone in the office was. During the meeting Todd was very honest and upfront about the pros and cons of the entire situation. He was very confident in the outcome of the ...case which eased our worries and decided to retain him. Todd and his associates kept us well informed and in the loop with all decisions necessary to proceed with the case. Overall we were very satisfied with the outcome of the case and the work that Todd and his associates provided; you can tell they take pride in what they do and it shows in the quality of their work. Thanks, Todd.

Went above and beyond!

Thanks to Mr. Burnham and his team I was able to fight for my son's return after he was abducted by his mother. Their commitment and dedication given to my case was outstanding and relentless. If you have a family or divorce situation I strongly suggest consulting with this law office. I couldn't rec...ommend Burnham Law any higher.

Outstanding and Knowlegable Advocate

After being Divorced for 18 months my ex decided that she didnt like our division of assets and hired an attorney. I started recieving threatening letters from her and her attorney and needed someone to respond to these threats. After talking to my friends I was refered to Todd as he had just compl...eted a very difficult divorce and custody issue for one of them. I met with Todd and immediately knew after my consultation that I had found an advocate that understood my concerns and related to my situation. Todd immediately jumped into the fight responding to the threats I had recieved and responding with a measured, thougtful and aggressive response. I have been in Law Enforcement for 20 years and I immediately recognized the quality in Todd's legal filings and letters. He is very knowlegable in the area of Family Law and Divorce. During my 15 month process Todd on several occasions called to discuss new case law or statute's that would favor my case. Todd stayed informed and updated on all new changes to these laws. Todd has an attention to detail and deadlines that I appreciated. I never had to worry about missing a deadline or detail as he was alsways on these requirements. In the end Todd got me a very favorable settlement just before trial, but was fully prepared to go to trial. Todd protected my assets and child custody agreement and helped craft an agreement to make sure I didn't have to endure this in the future. I now consider Todd a friend and highly recommend him for all legal needs. I would use Todd again without hesitation and personally refer him to my friends and family regularly.

Current Parental Responsibility Evaluator

As a PRE for over 15 years I have been exposed to many attorney's in CO and I find Mr Burnham to be one of the most dedicated and outstanding attorney's in the area. Mr Burnham works hard for his clients and at the same time is dedicated to the best interest of the children. Mr Burnham is a great c...ommunicator in and outside of the courtroom. Mr Burnham cares and that is a quality that is so appreciated by evaluators who are also in this business to embrace the best interest of children.

EXCEPTIONAL TRIAL LAWYER AND MAGICIAN

I was faced with a divorce with two minor children and, unknown to me, a husband who was a drug addict and who became increasingly abusive.  Todd’s approach is perfect:  you get the carrot or the stick!  He approached the case with the utmost concern for the children and immediately filed a TPO and t...hen won the subsequent Permanent Protection Order hearing.  It was as though within two weeks he changed my life and children’s lives like pulling a rabbit out of a hat!   He then valiantly tried to put together a reasonable, gradually increasing parenting plan with random UAs prior to unsupervised parenting time.  My husband’s lawyer was a boisterous older lawyer who kept name-dropping and Todd just played it so cool and seriously knew what was going to happen in Court.  He was a proponent of the children having their father in their lives, and was an advocate to that extreme, but on developmentally-appropriate terms.  When my husband and lawyer refused and threatened to take it to trial he said, almost verbatim: “Gentlemen, I have lined this case up from day one to go to trial like every other case I have.  I am trial-ready now and the amount of time you spend rushing to pull your case together, I will be spending perfecting my cross examination with your client’s multitude of inconsistent statements and behaviors.  Or we can agree on the reasonable parenting time once he proves he has maintained sobriety, maintenance and child support.”  Then, the best part, was: “And based on the disparity in income I will get the attorney fees for the additional time I spend developing my cross examination.  So, the question is, do you want to pay me?” Case settled 30 minutes later.  Me and my children are protected and we have financial security for the foreseeable future.  Todd Burnham is an amazing attorney and worth every dollar.
