Estate planning
The first meeting

One hour. $250. You leave with a plan.

1. You tell us what's happening

In your words, at your pace. Bring whatever paperwork you have; don't worry if you don't.

2. We tell you your options

Including the one where you don't hire a lawyer, if that's the honest answer.

3. You get a number in writing

A flat fee or an hourly estimate, before you decide anything. The $250 is credited if you hire us.

Who you'll work with

The attorneys.

Read first

The 11pm questions.

What happens in a Colorado divorce, step by step

Filing, the 91-day wait, disclosures, mediation, the final hearing — in plain words, with the parts that surprise people.

Do I need a will or a trust?

The honest answer for most Colorado families, and the three situations where a trust is worth the extra cost.

What an executor actually has to do in Colorado probate

A twelve-month to-do list for the person who said yes without knowing what it meant.

What we don't do

Criminal defence, immigration, personal injury, business formation. We'd rather send you to someone excellent than do an average job — here's who we recommend.
