If it just happened, start here.
If your spouse just asked for a divorce, a free consultation with a Colorado attorney is the first move. Do not move out, do not sign anything, and do not agree to a parenting schedule yet. Decisions made in the first few weeks may create a status quo which could be difficult to change later. Meeting with a Colorado attorney lets you know your rights and helps you devise a strategy moving forward.
Why Fortress
Built to protect. Prepared for anything.
Negotiation and settlement usually serve our clients' legal, financial, and emotional interests. However, if the other party will not offer reasonable settlement terms, we will fight for you in the courtroom.
- Plain answers. Straight talk about your options, the realistic range of outcomes, and what each path costs in time, money, and stress.
- Children first. Parenting plans are about your kids' lives, not a scoreboard. We build schedules and decision-making arrangements that hold up in the real world.
- Settlement-minded, trial-ready. We negotiate hard for a fair settlement, and we prepare from day one so your case is ready if it goes to trial.
- Local courts, local rhythm. Every metro judicial district runs on its own habits, calendars, and bench. We build strategy around how your courthouse actually works.
What to Expect
What to expect when you reach out
Fear of the unknown is the hardest part of family law. Here is how a matter typically moves at Fortress.
Free confidential consultation
We listen first. You tell us what is happening, and we map your options with an honest read on where things stand.
A firm gameplan
You meet with the attorney who will guide you through this process, not a hand-off. Together you build a firm gameplan for your case. Then we execute.
Resolve or litigate
We push for fair agreement through negotiation and mediation, and prepare thoroughly in case your matter needs a judge.
A strong finish
We drive your case to final orders you understand, then close it out cleanly with everything you need going forward. If life changes down the road, orders can be modified and enforced, and our door is open for that new matter.
Our Commitments
The Fortress standard
Protection first
Our fundamental goal is to protect your children, your finances, and your peace of mind. Every recommendation we make is measured against it.
Excellence
Family law is what we do, and we prepare every case to the standard a courtroom demands: command of the facts, command of the law, and work that holds up under pressure.
Integrity
We give you straight answers, take honest positions with the court and the other side, and give advice that serves your interests, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
Responsive by design
Silence from your lawyer is its own kind of stress. You will know what is happening in your case.
Where We Practice
