You can’t sugar coat the path through the divorce or child custody process. No one can train for it, and a good guide is essential to successfully navigating the difficulties you will face.
I grew up in a small town in the middle of California. At 15, I began working as a summer guide in the Sierras taking people into the mountains on horseback and packing their gear on mules. I grew to be an exceptional guide and could get you anywhere, trail or not. That work led to a job with the U.S. Park Service in Yosemite National Park, helping build miles of trail throughout the park where we worked with a crew that built a roman arch over a creek bed in the middle of the wilderness. I came to Colorado for law school, and never left. I am passionate about family law, and especially helping parents and their children navigate through the difficult trails that lead to the other side of a divorce or custody case.
My Mother was a special education teacher. She passed on her passion for helping family and kids. As a mountain guide, I learned the importance of hard work, preparation, planning, and most important, strength. There is an old saying attributed to Theodore Roosevelt, talk softly, and carry a big stick. That saying best describes how I handle a family law case. When you are prepared, you don’t need to raise your voice or threaten the other side. You can be firm and strong in negotiations, because the folks on the other side know that you are prepared and that you will do what is necessary to get a fair result.
