Practice Description

We provide family law services as well as some criminal and estate planning services all over Southwest Colorado. Our rates start at $275/hr. for our attorneys. At Durango Family Law, we understand the emotional nature of our work and the importance of focusing on the individual circumstances of each case so that an appropriate plan and strategy can be made to address specific needs. Our lawyers will assist clients with understanding and focusing on how the law applies to their specific circumstances, while also respectfully and patiently dealing with the various emotions that unfortunately accompany many family law cases. Our firm believes that in many instances the best outcome is unlikely to result from litigation and therefore attempts to utilize alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, including informal settlement negations and mediation when appropriate to attempt to resolve your case outside of court and without the costs of unnecessary litigation. Our attorneys have settled numerous cases by way of informal negotiations and formal mediation, but are also experienced and prepared to take a matter to court if an amicable resolution cannot be reached or the circumstances dictate immediate court intervention. Our objective is to provide each and every client with informed and personalized representation so that an efficient and appropriate resolution can be reached that addresses their unique case.
