HELLO AND WELCOME to GUTTERMAN GRIFFITHS PC
Gutterman Griffiths is a family law firm with an outstanding reputation and a huge public presence. We are committed to excellence, to our clients, and to our community.
Over 53% of all cases in the court system are Family Law cases. Additionally, over 1/2 of marriages end in divorce. A majority of the population will face the issues that we address at some time in their life.
We help numerous people in Colorado who are going through terrible family transitions. Our clients are "bleeding" and we know that we can help them move through the process and start their lives again.
We inform our clients about all of the options available to them in family actions from a "kitchen table" settlement to a "War of the Roses." Most divorces, fortunately, fall somewhere in the middle, and most people like to think of themselves as reasonable and rational. By educating our clients and the public, which we do extensively through lectures, publications, workshops, and seminars, we enable them to choose the path suited to their particular needs and wishes.
We triage by putting together teams within our office, composed of the best attorneys and paralegals, for the facts of a particular case. This team "synergy" and the wealth of resources that we have within our office is unique and this "product innovation" of serving the client with the appropriate team instead of an individual attorney with a paralegal sets us apart from any other family law firm in Colorado.
Our Firm was the only family law firm featured in Forbes magazine on August 13, 2007. The article explains our philosophy and dedication to our clients.
