I hired James Margulis after fleeing with my children from California to get out of an abusive marriage. Mr. Margulis immediately knew what we needed to do to ensure my husband was unable to come and take the children from me. Within 24 hours he had filed all needed paperwork and I was on my way to having temporary custody. After a Colorado judge approved temporary custody, Mr. Margulis then went on to help me keep the restraining order against my husband in place. He was phenomenal in court, straight to the facts with excellent communication skills. Anytime I needed him, he was available on his cell phone immediately. He clearly answered all my questions in a kind, straight forward manner. He was honest on fees. Mr. Margulis has a compassionate heart along with the fight of a lion. I trust this man.

Jim and his associates are thorough, brilliant, and fought ferociously on my family's behalf. I both consulted and hired this team and I could NOT have been more pleasantly surprised! They metaphorically held my hand through a very difficult, very tumultuous time. I felt, and feel, so safe and informed with them. Jim has always treated me with the utmost respect and dignity. He is an artist with his words and legal knowledge, and I feel that every dime we paid was worth it's weight in gold. I felt like I was a family friend to this firm, rather than a client. Jim Margulis is a personal hero of mine and my loyalty to him and his associates will remain unwavering because of his dazzling service. TRUST this man and this firm and they will not let you down!! Thank you, Jim and Company!!

I live in Steamboat Springs, CO, and Jim handled my higher income, somewhat contentious divorce. Jim did a fantastic job. He not only gave me great legal advice, but he also helped me get some perspective and make good decisions. I have recommended Jim to several of my friends who have also been very satisified. He is very accessible by phone and email and promptly returns messages. He negotiated a good settlement for me and parenting time arrangements that continue to be in the best interest of my children. I enjoyed working with Jim and highly recommend him.

James has been the most knowledgeable and attentive attorney I've ever worked with. He saw me through my initial divorce and now with my on going high conflict custody litigation, James continues to impress me with his pro-active approach to my case. Although he's a straight shooter and plays hard ball in court, James' compassion when dealing with delicate and emotionally charged situations, (children and family issues), truly demonstrates he's got his heart in the right place. I feel reassured knowing that James is at the helm regarding my family law matters. If you need a heavy hitter in court with a soft touch regarding the best interest of your case, then James is your man!
