Denver Divorce Lawyer

Our practice is limited exclusively to family law disputes and related litigation. We represent clients in contested divorces, child custody disputes, conflicts over parenting time and decision making authority, maintenance (alimony) disputes, child support actions and child removal cases. We also negotiate and draft prenuptial and post nuptial agreements and assist clients in adoption cases.

We are trial lawyers and family law experts and we have successfully represented hundreds of clients in the Denver Metropolitan Area since 1997. We will explain your legal rights and counsel you about your legal options so that you can move forward confidently, regardless of the legal issue you face.

Every client is an individual and every case is unique. For that reason, we will provide you with a free, no-obligation case evaluation before we begin representing you. We’ll evaluate your situation, explain your rights, answer your questions and outline a legal strategy tailored to your specific case. Your input is critical to this process. In fact, we won’t begin representing you until you have approved a specific legal strategy for going forward. Also, as part of your free case evaluation, we will provide you with an estimate of our fees and identify the costs that will most likely be involved.

When you need a Denver Divorce Attorney, Why Choose the Thode Law Firm?

Whether you simply want a divorce, need advice about protecting your assets with a prenuptial agreement, or want to create a comprehensive parenting plan, we can help. Our experienced trial lawyers will represent you in court over contested matters such as divorce, child custody disputes, modification of maintenance, property division, or enforcement of an existing maintenance or child subparts order.

PROACTIVE REPRESENTATION

We specialize primarily in contested cases. While many law firms pay lip service to the so-called “collaborative” family law approach, we know from experience that such approaches often fail. All too often, the parties simply cannot agree about one or more critical issues such as child custody, maintenance, and property division, especially when one party owns a business, has substantial assets or earns significantly more than the other spouse or parent.

The most effective way to protect your legal rights and the rights of your children is to aggressively prepare your case for trial. Our proactive approach helps us negotiate on your behalf with the goal of reaching an early settlement. However, if the parties cannot agree on critical issues, you can rest assured that you will be represented by an experienced trial lawyer and family law expert who will present your case effectively in court.

That’s our philosophy and that’s how we’ll represent you.

HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST?

Our goal is to provide you with top-tier representation at great value, rather than mediocre representation at the cheapest rates because the true cost of a contested divorce, custody dispute or maintenance battle includes a lot more than just the legal fees. Nevertheless, we understand that hiring a lawyer is an investment. While each case is unique, we can usually estimate the overall cost to resolve your legal case based on the number and type of “contested” issues, the relative financial strength of the parties and other criteria. As part of your free case evaluation, we will provide an estimate of our fees as well as other costs that may be involved in your case.
