    Dan Droege

    Dan Droege is an experienced Family Law Attorney and Certified Mediator at The Harris Law Firm. In practice since 1987, he has extensive experience in divorce and family law matters, including complex and contested cases involving custody and placement of children, child support, alimony, grandparent/third person rights, non-traditional family cases, and alternative dispute resolution (mediation).

    Born in South Carolina, Dan obtained his bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin, and his Juris Doctor from Hamline University School of Law in Minneapolis. He attended Pepperdine School of Law’s Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, the nation’s leading ADR program, where he earned a Certificate in Dispute Resolution.

    Dan is straight forward with his clients and values his role as an advocate whose duty is to listen and offer advice based on his decades of experience and training. Rather than creating false expectations or simply agreeing with clients’ positions, he establishes relationships based on facts, candor, and transparency, and takes a pragmatic path to helping clients identify their available solutions.

    An accomplished negotiator, Dan encourages clients to reach resolutions without court intervention. He recognizes that clients lose significant control in allowing a third party, be it a Judge or Arbiter, to decide what are often life-changing issues and provides the tools for clients to take control and make their own decisions. However, he knows that court or third-party intervention may be necessary in some cases and has the experience to help clients wherever their cases lead.

    Dan’s 35+ years in practice and extensive training in ADR allow him to help clients navigate the many emotional and financial challenges inherent to family law, including both divorce and post-divorce matters. He has helped hundreds of clients over the course of his career and is widely trusted by colleagues to handle some of the most challenging cases. Dan is licensed to practice in Colorado and Wisconsin.

    Outside of the office, Dan is a self-described football and music fanatic. He enjoys traveling, camping, and fostering puppies as a volunteer with the Longmont Humane Society.

      I worked with three previous firms before I found Steve and Victoria
      “I highly recommend Harris Law Firm, Victoria Mall and Steve Cizik. The service quality was truly exceptional. I worked with three previous firms before I found Steve and Victoria. They were very professional, patient with my concerns and tax issues. Heaven could not have sent me a better Team. Dealing with the IRS can very stressful, but Victoria Mall and Steve Cizik have been a pleasure to work with. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!!!”
      - Priscilla
      They are worth their weight in gold for the peace of mind I have had for several years!
      “Steve Cizik and his team, Victoria and Jackie are the BEST! They have brought me down off the ledge of fear of the IRS, and kept me out of the headlights! Steve has a sense of humor, and can always make me laugh out loud.

      They are worth their weight in gold for the peace of mind I have had for several years!

      If you have Steve, Victoria, and Jackie you will have a Champion for all things IRS.
      In fact the whole Harris Firm makes you feel like you have a friend!”
      - Kathy
      They were always so professional
      “My husband and I have worked with both Steve Cizik & Jackie Sexson for 10yrs +. We initially worked w/them at another firm & after a bad experience w/ their replacements we "tracked them down" - Thank Goodness ! They were always so professional, easy to work with, explained everything clearly, answered every question and were persistent in helping us towards a successful resolution of our tax liabilities saving us over $140k ! We can sleep at night now ! We highly recommend them to help anyone trying to navigate the stress of tax liabilities.”
      - Rachel
      Amazing work
      “Jolyn handled my very complex custody case with grace while also proving a powerful understanding of the law and nuances within family court! With this we reached a very satisfactory agreement and did so without any litigation.”

      I finally feel like someone is advocating for me.
      “The best thing I have done during my contentious, high conflict divorce was to kindly say goodbye to my former attorney and to move forward with The Harris Law Firm. I finally feel like someone is advocating for me.”
      - David
