    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.

    Hear From Dan's Happy Clients

      He did not spend time wasting time and driving up the bill.
      “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.”

      Dan and Roz, thank you so much for all you did for me.
      “I just went through the most difficult experience of my life, a divorce after 41 years of marriage. I was so glad to have Dan and Roz holding my hand through it all that I am writing a review. Dan was so kind and always willing to explain legalese to me whenever I needed it. He was always accessible, responsive, and understanding. His paralegal, Roz, was also as amazing-efficient, friendly, and patient. They also were great monitors of the time they spent working on my case so I did not feel over-charged. I hired this law firm because of a recommendation from another lawyer and I could not be more thankful for that recommendation. Dan and Roz, thank you so much for all you did for me.”

      Thank you.
      “Dan and his firm have been the easiest to work with. Thank you.”

      I believe this team gave me the best possible outcome
      “When my ex-wife started suffering from mental illness and decided to serve me with a petition for divorce I was left 30 days to respond and find an attorney. This was one of the most difficult times of my life but I was able to find Harris Law Firm to help me navigate the waters. I worked with a team being Dan Droege, Meredith Alley, and Roselyn Klinzman-Bogs. The team had a great dynamic that was able to keep costs down. Meredith and Roselyn work at a lower rate and were able to assist with getting all my financial statements/legal paperwork in order and were very quick to respond to any questions I had. Dan is a partner and more expensive but was able navigate mediation with the best settlement possible dealing with an aggressive and untruthful opposing counsel. The opposing counsel used many tactics and it was good to have the Harris Law team quickly respond. Going through this experience I have discovered that the law in Colorado is not written in favor of men and if there is an opposing counsel you most definitely need a lawyer on your side. I believe this team gave me the best possible outcome and was able to avoid divorce court and settle in mediation. Thank you Dan, Meredith, and Roselyn.”

      I would recommend their counsel to any one going through a divorce
      “Dan Droege did a great job providing honest and accurate advice throughout my divorce. I would recommend their counsel to any one going through a divorce.”
