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.

    “When you have someone in your corner that understands the importance of family it makes the situation a ton easier.”
    I wasn’t familiar with the process of child custody but I must say not only did Myles and his team direct me properly but it was a process that wasn’t money motivated. Very professional group, I was constantly informed of any step or move needed to be made, and they took a very stressful situation and made it a very pleasant storm. Thank you Myles and Johnson group for everything!”
    - Dwight
    “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.
