Several of my cases have been featured in news publications like the Wall Street Journal, ESPN, New York Times and Denver Post. I have been named to the Rising Stars list for the last five years by Colorado Super Lawyers for Family Law.

I primarily handle cases involving personal issues – divorce, child custody, complex property valuation, persons accused of committing crimes, and personal injury.
Personal Info: I earned a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Virginia. I spent a year teaching History in England at an elite boarding school, and have traveled to over 25 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.

This guy would explain to a female rocket scientist that spaceships go pew pew. When I worked with him and his firm, this is essentially what happened. Adding insult to the injury of his misogyny is that he is clearly not that sharp. This is a bro law firm run by a blow hard.

Ryan’s inflated sense of self and extreme self involvement are well known in the Aspen community. During my consultation with him, his reputation was confirmed. He lacks empathy and cares only about how he appears on the surface. He spoke to me in a condescending manner. His narcissism can actually...
Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your consultation experience with Kalamaya Goscha. I'm genuinely sorry that you found me lacking the qualities you sought in an attorney. I consider all feedback as an opportunity to learn and improve. That said, I have to express some skepticism about the legitimacy of this review. It's uncommon for someone to leave a review based solely on a consultation without becoming a client, particularly when the reviewer chooses to remain anonymous. Many people going through a divorce or separation project their feelings about their spouse onto their attorney. Moreover, you mention that I have an allegedly negative reputation in Aspen, which leads me to question why you would consult with me in the first place if you already had concerns. I'd also like to address your characterization of me. I encourage you to read my other reviews, which paint a more comprehensive and balanced picture of my approach to law and client relationships, including whether I am empathetic, narcissistic, or an egomaniac. If you're open to it, I would be more than willing to discuss your experience further to understand your concerns better and address any issues. Your feedback is essential for me to continually improve my services. Best regards, Ryan Kalamaya Managing Partner, Kalamaya Goscha

Most aspen attorneys won’t put forth any effort to help you. They know there are only a handful of them. But Ryan has integrity and cares about the outcome.

100% RECOMMENDED! The divorce process is truly an agonizing, mentally draining and stressful process to go through. Even more so when there are children involved. Ryan came recommended to me from multiple other attorneys. I reached out to him and I explained my case. From the original consultation ...

Ryan is an amazing attorney and I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney. I have recommended many to him and they are very happy I did. He is very personable and easy to talk to. Ryan was very communicative with me on everything. He walked me through everything that he expected would happe...
"Ryan was a pleasure to work with in an area of law that can often be highly litigious and contested. I have worked with many family law attorneys who encourage their clients to battle with their spouses in a divorce, and these attorneys often employ the same techniques in their negotiations with opposing counsel. While it is important to advocate for your client, it is also important to maintain a good relationship with opposing counsel in order to reach the best settlement for your client, whenever settlement is possible. Ryan's ability to work with opposing counsel is an asset and it did not diminish his ability to fight for his client when necessary. In fact, it often made him sound more reasonable when he did take a stand on certain issues. These attributes helped facilitate a settlement which is useful in almost all divorce cases, but especially those that involve children."
"Ryan has the passion and experience to effectively handle your personal injury, divorce or criminal matter. I have known Ryan for almost a decade, and would absolutely endorse him."
"Ryan is a great colleague and advocate for his clients. He brings creative and fresh solutions to an area of the law where precedent tends to dictate instead of innovation within precedent. His tenacity and energy foster trust and good client relationships. I fully endorse Ryan."
"I endorse Ryan Kalamaya. It is rare to find a relatively young attorney who has the skills, knowledge and confidence of far more experienced attorneys. Ryan very quickly earned that kind of reputation when he started practicing in this jurisdiction."
"Mr. Kalamaya is an exceptional attorney. He is intelligent and has a great work ethic. I recommend him for all of your litigation needs in Pitkin County."
"Mr. Kalamaya is simply an exceptional attorney who I would recommend to everyone and anyone. I am a former judge, former magistrate, former prosecutor, and an attorney with 24 years of experience. I still learn from his answers on Avvo on a daily basis and I am constantly impressed."
"I endorse Mr. Kalamaya. We have worked together on matters relating to family law, wrongful death, criminal law, and related matters. I consider him to hold a high standards of practice, and I otherwise believe him to be a capable litigation attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I am a family lawyer in Atlanta and my client and I needed assistance in Colorado. Ryan was quick to respond to our call; listened well; knew the law and was able to quickly analyze the matter. He charged a reasonable fee to assist the client and met a tight deadline."
"I highly endorse Ryan. He is aware of his clients needs and knows what to takes to win in the courtroom."
"Ryan is a common sense attorney with creative solutions to problems both big and small. Hardworking and honest, I recommend Ryan to anyone seeking an attorney."
"As a former co-worker of Mr. Kalamaya's for over two years, I can assure you that he is a hard working, professional, and competent counselor. He will go the extra mile to make sure you are adequately represented. I would recommend him for any of your legal needs. If he is not an expert in the area, he knows someone who is."
