I've been a client of Mike's for years. He is one of Colorado's top Attorneys. He has an exceptional knowledge of the law and is extremely well spoken and well versed. I appreciate his attention to detail and truly believe he has a vested interested in you personally as a client. Angelica is also a definite asset. If you want your ex-spouse to be nervous, hire Mike. My ex went through four Attorneys to try and handle him. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to win!

Michael Switzer took over my child support reduction case at the last hour. We had two weeks before the hearing and He and his team performed at the highest level. I wanted an attorney with a winners attitude and that's what I got with the Switzer Law Firm.

Mr. Switzer has help me in a very exhausting legal problem for a number of years. He and his paralegal have been by my side throughout this issue working tirelessly, and all the while encouraging me and handling the legal details. I cannot say too many good things about this team. But if you are in a fight....these are the people you want in your corner!

Mike has been representing me in a very high conflict case for three years now. First, during my divorce and now through a battle over parenting time and parental rights. He's kept on top of everything. Nothing has ever been filed late with the court and he's always made sure that my end of the work has been completed on time as well. Mike has a very easy manner in the courtroom, but knows when and how to become more aggressive if the situation requires it. Personally, I prefer "aggressive Mike", but it's best to just step back and trust him to approach the issues as he sees best. Additionally, he has always researched issues thoroughly, been well prepared, and I have never seen him caught off guard. Actually, seeing him so well prepared that he's rendered opposing counsel unable to provide intelligent responses is enough reason alone to recommend his services. Mike has always been extremely professional, straight forward, and supportive throughout the entire process. While encouraged to remain hopeful during these difficult times, I've never been fed false expectations and this has been very important to me. Last, and most importantly, Mike firmly believes in sticking to the high road. Even in the midst of many underhanded things being done to me, he insisted that I remain level headed, continue to approach the issues without sinking to the opposition's level, and to always keep my focus on my little boy rather than allowing myself to be pulled into separate conflicts being created to distract from the true issues. Not only can you put your faith in Mike to work extremely hard for you, but you'll also be able to look at yourself in the mirror everyday while you employ his services.

Without hesitation, Mr. Switzer was professional, personable, effective and efficient in a family legal matter concerning grandparent rights. Mr. Switzer was a calming and rational influence during the entire case and together we pursued what was in the child's best interest. He kept me apprised of all phases and scheduled response times. Mr. Switzer always listened to my concerns and was fair and honest with potential outcomes. I felt we worked as a team. Because of his in-depth knowledge and expertise in family law, I was provided grandparent visitations and I now spend family time with my granddaughter without conflict. I'm thankful and grateful to have had Mr. Switzer as my attorney.

I interviewed several attorneys regarding my divorce - most offered a free initial consultation. After speaking with Michael Switzer I felt he was the one. He listened keenly to the details of my marriage and the issues of the divorce (money) and offered several notions that seemed to enhance my position. I believed he was willing and able to aggressively argue on my behalf so I hired him. Unfortunately his representation was far from what I was lead to believe. His aggressive counsel quickly evaporated and was replaced with vague explanations of the law and the process. He made promises that never happened and I felt less and less in control of my financial destiny. My stress level went through the roof as my wife stole property and money from me and asked for a settlement that was 50% higher than the worst case scenario that Mr. Switzer calculated. And as these events happened Michael Switzer kept telling me to, "Hang in there - this will all pass". I have never hired an attorney before and never had any legal trouble so I confess I didn't know what to expect - yet as I relayed the events of my divorce to friends and family they all - each and every one of them - suggested I should get another attorney - and I sure wish I had. My divorce is now over and it cost me tons of money. I never got back the property or money my wife stole and if I had read a review like this before hiring Michael Switzer I would have appreciated the insight.
