This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommended

It is my privilege to recommend Mr. Goldman, an excellent lawyer whose work on my case was outstanding. The most important yet unexpected thing he brought to my case was a genuine care for me and my children as we went through an extremely challenging period in our lives. Mr. Goldman’s approach was p...erfect for me because I was not looking for an overly aggressive, intimidating attorney to win my case at any cost. Instead, I wanted a fair and equitable outcome from the beginning and that’s exactly the outcome we achieved. Mr. Goldman is a compassionate, thoughtful attorney who diligently serves his client’s best interest without resorting to tactics that burdened my conscience. I cannot recommend Mr. Goldman highly enough.

An attorney with integrity

Glen recently handled my divorce which we were able to settle out of court. He is a great listener, always professional, and incredibly responsive. He treated me with respect and dignity and maintained his composure (even in some rather heated negotiations). He absolutely put my best interests firs...t and offered clear, concise legal advice. I would highly recommend him.

Glen was Golden!

I was in a very difficult divorce situation. I felt my spouse's behavior was egregious towards me for the past decade and now she was going to further harm me with the division of property. Glen listened and understood. He told me to not do anything in the short term to inflame the situation. He said... our chances of winning would be slim based on Colorado Divorce law. He positioned for us to get the correct mediator for this situation. Glen presented case law references and my side. He aggressively positioned our side of the case. I walked out of the Mediation in excellent shape.

Excellent!

We retained Glen on very short notice to help with my child support stipulation and parenting plan modification. He was excellent from the beginning. He was very knowledgable, very even-keeled. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and throughout the entire process. There was never a time when... he was un-responsive or too busy to answer even the smallest of questions. He was great through the entire thing and I will use him again without question and recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Great attorney

The reviews speak for themselves. Glen is a wonderful attorney who is not afraid to fight for his clients. He is continually providing great results inside and outside of the courtroom.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've had several cases where Mr. Goldman was opposing counsel. I've always found him to be a competent, hard-working lawyer who represents his client well. However he is easy to work with and doesn't waste his time or his client's money on matters that he can't win or that have no import. He's one of the attorneys I know who make it possible for us to disagree and still be friends and collegues. I would recommend him to any inurance carrier or employer looking for a good defense attorney."
