Denver County Family Law & Divorce Attorneys
Family law is one of the few areas of law where the people involved have to keep living the situation while it gets resolved. The hardest part is often not the law itself; it is the feeling that no one is steering. Johnson Law Group is built around one thing: family law. We bring that single focus to Denver County families, with the clear direction and grounded strategy these cases require.
Our Denver office, in the Cherry Creek area, sits inside Denver County and serves clients in person, with virtual consultations by video or phone available if that fits your week better.
Schedule a no-pressure consultation: call (720) 640-8463 or book a time online. We listen first, explain what you are facing under Colorado law, and give you a clear next step, whether or not you hire us.

Where You Are, Where Your Case Is Heard
For Denver County, our office and your courthouse are in the same city. The Denver office in the Cherry Creek area and the Denver District Court are both in Denver.
| Office | Counties Served | Primary Courthouse |
|---|---|---|
|
Denver (Cherry Creek) 3773 Cherry Creek Drive N., Suite 801 Denver, CO 80209 |
Denver County Jefferson County |
Denver District Court 1437 Bannock Street Denver, CO 80202 2nd Judicial District |
The 2nd Judicial District covers only Denver County. The Denver District Court at 1437 Bannock Street is the courthouse of record for all Denver family law matters, and it is in the same city as our Denver office in the Cherry Creek area. The Denver office also serves Jefferson County, which is in the 1st Judicial District; Jefferson matters are filed at the Jefferson County Court in Golden. Cases that touch Denver as well as Jefferson stay with the same team across both jurisdictions.
Why Denver County Families Trust Johnson Law Group
The first call isn’t a sales call. You’ll talk to an attorney who listens before recommending anything. We ask the questions that matter, walk you through what Colorado law actually says about your situation, and tell you what we’d do next if we were in your position. Guidance over conversion. That is the part clients tell us makes the difference.
We build cases the way you’d want yours built. Family law isn’t a product. Two cases that look identical on paper can take very different shapes once you look at the kids, the assets, and the history. We start with what you actually need protected, build a strategy around it, and document the case as we go. Showing up to court prepared isn’t optional. It is just how we work.
A client portal that keeps you in the loop. When you hire Johnson Law Group, you get access to our Client Portal at no additional cost. Real-time alerts on every case milestone, transparent billing, and a direct line to your legal team and Client Care Specialist. You will know where your case stands without the waiting game.
We’re staffed for cases that don’t fit a template. A closely held business. Executive compensation. A relocation request. An interstate jurisdiction question. A need for privacy that goes beyond standard. Most Denver County family cases do not require any of that. When yours does, that is the kind of work we know how to do.
No outcome guarantees. Only preparation. No serious family law attorney can promise a specific result, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we commit to is the preparation: a strategy that fits the facts, a documented case, and a clear understanding of what each phase requires. If anyone in family law guarantees you a result, that is a signal to keep looking.

What to Expect When You Call
Our consultation process is straightforward and built around three things you need before any decisions get made:
- We listen first. Tell us what is happening. The short version is fine, and we will ask the questions that matter.
- We explain what Colorado law says. In plain English. No lecture, no scare tactics, no pressure.
- We map the next step. You will leave the consultation with a clear sense of what comes next: filing, responding, gathering records, or pausing to think it through.
We know Colorado’s courts. We know the path through this kind of case. And we will walk you through what comes next before you commit to anything. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and begin the journey toward your next chapter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where in Denver County will my case be filed?
All Denver County family law cases are filed in the 2nd Judicial District at the Denver District Court, 1437 Bannock Street in Denver. Hearings, mediations, and trials connected to your case will happen at that courthouse unless the court schedules a remote appearance.
My family has ties in multiple Front Range counties. Where does my case go?
Colorado venue rules generally follow where a party resides at the time of filing. For most Denver residents, that means filing at the Denver District Court. If your spouse lives in another Colorado county, venue may be there depending on the facts. The Denver office handles Denver and Jefferson cases directly, and Johnson Law Group’s other Colorado offices can handle cases in Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Broomfield, Larimer, Weld, El Paso, and Teller counties. Bring what you know to the consultation and we will sort out where the case belongs.
Do I have to come into the Denver office, or can we work virtually?
Either works. Virtual consultations and remote case management are available statewide. The Denver District Court can also schedule remote appearances for certain matters. In-person meetings make sense at points like initial planning, mediation prep, and complex document review.
Denver is the City and County of Denver. Does that affect my case?
For family law purposes, no. The City and County of Denver are the same jurisdiction. All Denver family law cases are heard at the Denver District Court in the 2nd Judicial District regardless of where in the city you live.
How long does a Denver County divorce take?
Colorado has a statutory 91-day minimum from service or signed waiver before a divorce can be finalized. That floor applies in every county, Denver included. The actual timeline depends on whether issues are contested (custody, support, property), the Denver District Court’s docket, and whether mediation is required before any contested hearing. Straightforward uncontested cases can resolve close to the 91-day floor; contested cases run longer.
How much will it cost?
Denver County family law costs depend on the complexity of the matter, how contested it is, and how much can be resolved without court intervention. We discuss fees transparently at the consultation and will not quote representation blind.
