How Much Does a Family Lawyer Cost in Colorado?

Many people are concerned about the cost of family law legal services. Most family law attorneys charge by the hour, so your fees will depend on the complexity of your case and the amount of time your attorney must spend to prepare documents and appear at court hearings. While it is true that lengthy litigation can become expensive, you do not need to pay a fortune to have an experienced family law attorney on your side.

Johnson Law Group offers same-day attorney consultations so you can get the information you need to make the right decision about your case. Our fee schedule is transparent to avoid any unwanted surprises when it comes to billing. In addition, we believe that you will find going without legal representation could cost you far more when it comes to unfair property division, spousal support, or child support orders.

    “I highly recommend them!”

    Shana Velazquez and Julie Hernandez helped me with my divorce and they were amazing. Shana was so good about explaining everything to me and calming my anxiety. Being 64 and going through a divorce was very daunting to me and I appreciate their help and kind words more than words can say. I highly recommend them!

    “I can’t say thank you enough for what y’all did for me!!!!!”
    This review nor a amount a amount of characters can express how grateful I am for Johnson law. From the moment I called they gave me a peace of mind that they where going to be able to help me through my child custody situation. I worked with Yasaman and she was super professional and caring. From the moment she started working on my case and laid down the road map to our approach to my case it happened to a tee. She never misled me or over promises anything but over delivered every step of the way! The last 6 months would of been hell if it wasn’t for Johnson Law and Yasaman.

    “They made me feel like i was a friend, not just a client.”
    I called Johnson Law Group extremely frustrated and stressed with the process of my custody case. From the consultation to every conversation after, Elizabeth went out of her way to make sure that i was comfortable with all the matters and decisions. My goals and the safety of my children were always the priority to the JLG team. I highly recommend Elizabeth and the whole Johnson Law Group team to anyone going through custody matters. Elizabeth, Cassidy, and Paola were amazing. I would happily use them again if needed.
