“Dan Droege of the Harris Law firm handled a "grandparent right"s for us. From the initial intact through final resolution, Dan was thorough, professional, empathetic, and sensitive to our needs. He did not spend time wasting time and driving up the bill. He proceeded in a way that brought the "other side" to the table to obtain resolution thus avoiding a costly court battle. I highly recommend the Harris Law Firm in general and Attorney Droege in particular.”- James
-
“I feel like choosing to work with The Harris Law Firm was the best possible decision I could have made for my representation in a difficult matter. I worked with Eric and was very impressed. He was always honest with me about what to expect and it was very spot on with the outcome. He also didn’t waste my time or my finances with excessive communication but was available for me and kept me informed about the status of my case. I also worked with the paralegal Julie and she was always very kind and efficient.”- Melanie
-
“Jennifer and her paralegal Cat were outstanding. They communicated with me in a timely, respectful, and professional manner. Larry worked well with me by being flexible when I asked if I could wait to pay the bill since I knew we were finishing up my case. Jennifer is talented. I'm very pleased with her attention to detail and willingness to engage when I expressed that I didn't understand something. These folks are highly recommended in my book - I will certainly pass on this firm's name and my positive experience.”- I.R.
-
“My first consultation with the Harris Law Firm (Jennie Wray) was an absolute delight. Jennie Wray helped me better understand my legal situation and patiently explained the various directions I could consider. Her extensive legal background offered insights into past legal precedent & court (judge) rulings. At the conclusion of the call she clearly explained the options for hiring her to handle my case - both the retainer fee & hourly charge. The Harris Law Firm is very transparent with their legal & billing services. I would choose them for any legal issue.”- Jimmy
-
“I had an extremely complicated legal situation to maneuver and a very difficult, combative ex-spouse. Jennifer Workman was my attorney at Harris, and worked miracles in terms of handling my case and moving towards a settlement that has provided true freedom and peace of mind for me. She is the best of the best! I am confident that she could handle ANY other case, as mine was truly terrible and I had zero hope of settlement. It was a long road to get to this point, but I’m happy to say that I’m on the other side now. You will be too!”- Erica
Protecting Your Children's Well-Being in Family Law Matters
When it comes to family law matters, your children's well-being comes first. At The Harris Law Firm, our Denver family law attorneys understand the complexities and sensitivities these cases often involve. We work to protect your children's best interests and ensure their safety and happiness.
Our team of attorneys builds a personalized strategy to address your unique situation and goals. We stay by your side throughout the legal process, working towards fair and practical solutions that prioritize your children's well-being.
Some of the ways we can help in child-related family law matters include:
- Establishing child custody and visitation agreements
- Modifying existing custody or support orders
- Enforcing court-ordered child support payments
- Addressing parental relocation or interstate custody issues
- Resolving disputes regarding parenting time
Many Denver County and surrounding courts require parents to complete parenting education classes before making custody arrangements final. Our attorneys explain how these requirements apply to your case, and what steps to expect as you move through the Denver legal process. When circumstances change—such as a parent moving to another part of Colorado or a change in financial situation—we help clients pursue modifications efficiently and clarify the factors judges review during those requests.
When your children’s needs are at stake, you want a knowledgeable and compassionate legal team to guide you.
Child-Centric Divorce Solutions in Denver, CO
We focus on your children's well-being, seeking to shield them from the stress of divorce. That's why we often recommend cooperative solutions like collaborative divorce or mediation. These options promote your family's long-term health over drawn-out litigation. If negotiations break down, we can advocate for your interests in court.
What to Expect During the Family Law Process in Denver
When you start a family law case in Denver, you'll move through several steps specific to Colorado. After your initial consultation, clients often prepare necessary documents and attend an initial status conference set by the Denver courts. Local judges—especially in the Denver City and County Building—require both parties to share complete financial disclosures and complete parenting classes when custody is at stake. Mediation is common and helps families resolve disagreements without going to trial, saving time and stress. Our team coordinates every stage with you, helping you navigate deadlines and expectations under Colorado law, so you can feel prepared throughout your case.
Families often ask about timelines in Denver County. On average, divorce or custody actions take several months from filing to resolution, though every case is different. The court's schedule, complexity, and whether parents cooperate on key issues all factor into the process. Our attorneys keep you updated and informed at every step.
Contact The Harris Law Firm today to schedule a consultation and discuss your options for protecting your children's best interests.
