Great Support

Robert Pomper has been my lawyer and go to subject matter expert for all my post decree issues regarding the custody of my kid since 2013. I have needed Robert many times through the years and will continue to rely on Robert in the coming years. Having to continually deal with a high conflict paral...lel parenting situation, Robert is always able to bring calmness to very stressful and emotional situations, able to provide clarity and peace of mind through his strategies and is extremely professional and will advocate for your case effectively. I highly recommend and do refer Robert to anyone needing guidance during these times in their life. You will not regret having Robert by your side.

You must hire this attorney—the best!!!

I had to go through 2 other attorneys to strike gold. I was beginning to lose hope until I was lucky enough to get referred to Robert Pomper. He immediately gave me hope and came up with a great strategy and explained everything along the way while always explaining the costs and be benefits to eve...ry decision. My ex was trying to drain me financially and emotionally. When it turned out that there would be no way to settle my case due to the outrageous demand of my ex, Mr. Pomper was there by my side and with detailed preparation, and great skill and finesse, made a great court presentation and convinced the Court to rule in my favor. He is great in court and blew my ex’s attorney away. Also he is very efficient so it was not as expensive as I was told it could be. I have referrred him cases and he is truly the best!

Great Lawyer!

I wish that I had hired Robert Pomper from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. My previous two lawyers did not give me all options to explore for custody for my children. I agreed to 50/50% custody and joint decision making when my children were three. I thought that things would get better ...for my children and we could co-parent together effectively. This was not the case, I was in a high conflict situation with my ex about decisions that should be easy. My friend recommend Robert and I scheduled a consult with him. I retained Robert, because he had strategies for my case and how to execute them. Long story short, I have retained Robert two times…and wow what a difference he has made in our lives. The first time I retained him, he helped get my children in therapy and obtain more custody. A year later, things were still not working for my children at the other house, so I went back for more custody and decision making. Robert was a master with negotiating with my ex to get this for my children. My ex was very angry at times, but Robert explained his options to him in a fair and calm manner. He even deescalated my angry ex and we were able to work together for a resolution. I received custody and decision making without going to court, thanks to Robert. He is always prepared and advocates what is best for children. My children are now eight and I have had full time custody for almost a year. Robert has a great professional demeanor, along with a welcomed sense of humor making the situation bearable and this allowed me to remain calm/sane and focus on the well-being of my children during a tumultuous time in my life. Robert developed a collaborative working relationship with me and made me feel like I was his only client and worked diligently to achieve a positive parenting outcome for me and a better life for my children. I will forever be grateful to Robert for all he has done for our family! I would readily recommend his services.

The very best

I wish I had hired Robert Pomper from the beginning of the divorce proceedings. My first attorney did not keep me informed of the proceedings and when we went to court for temporary orders, ended up pushing me to agree to pay too much to my wife with no legal basis and for limited parenting time. My... bow ex wife was very difficult and tried to bad mouth me to whom ever would listen and affect my relationship with our two children. I felt so helpless and did not know what to do. A friend told me I needed to consult with Mr. Pomper who helped her through a nasty divorce and post decree issues and said she tells all of her friends he is the only divorce attorney in the Denver area to use. She finally convinced me to make an appointment with Mr. Pomper. From the beginning I could sense Mr. Pomper was very attentive to me as well as detailed oriented and had an amazing grasp of my situation in a very short time and helped me see where I was in this confusing divorce process and then came up with strategies to turn this around. I felt hope for the first time in how to nagivate through this horribly complex system. I retained him on the spot and fired my first attorney. He seems very interested in helping me and was very compassionate. As soon as I retained him, I noticed a world of difference. He and his wonderful paralegal, Jenny, kept me in the loop every step if the way. He filed what needed to be filed and always was very careful of costs. He was excellent in always providing a kind of cost/ benefit analysis as to what made sense to dinand when. Mr. Pomper took on my wife's attorney and I final felt like I had a strong advocate. The momentum finally started turning around. Soon, I was able to get the time I wanted with my children and my wife did not get anything near what she was demanding regarding th children and financial issues. I have a business and he was not only excellent and knowledge for children issues but was great at understanding all aspects of our financial situation which my previous attorney, in retrospect, did not. When we went to court, he was prepared, strong and articulate. I could see the judge listening which was not the case with my first attorney. He is the best. Although he was always professional, my now ex- wife still is angry I got rid of my first attorney and hired someone so good.

Post Divorce Decree

It's amazing, even now, that I had almost given up on trying to fix the problems with my original Separation Agreement that was decades old. My ex thought he could get away with anything. I had tried to hire a previous attorney, but it just went around in circles and I thought there would never ...be progress. I almost gave up thinking there was no solution. I then retained Robert Pomper and he was able to understand the obstacles I had been living with and he came up with a comprehensive strategy and was aggressive, when appropriate, not allowing my ex to get away with anything. Furthermore, Mr. Pomper kept me focused, staying on track and directed me towards completing the emotionally challenging work of going through this exhaustive process. We finally got a great result, and I can't thank him enough.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Dec 09

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Robert turned an extremely emotional case into a much calmer situation and ultimately a stipulated agreement between the parties that was fair to both. I like his approach of dealing fairly, but holding his ground. His Avvo rating should be far higher than it is. He has 19 years experience (mostly from Illinois) and he obviously brought that experience with him to Colorado."
