About

I am a Denver native.  My family immigrated to the Denver area from Italy in the mid 1890's.  I graduated from Denver North High school 4th in my class in 1975.  I attended the University of Denver on an Honors Scholarship, graduating in 1979 in the upper 10% of my class, with a BA in Mass CommunicationsI took a three year hiatus after college, during which time I worked as a disc jockey at several area nightclubs, then at KTLK 1280 AM radio in Denver, and finally I was the Assignment Editor at Channel 9 News in Denver.  I left Channel 9 to enter the University of Denver Law school in 1982.  I received scholarships while attending law school, and graduated in June of 1985 in the upper 25% of my class.  I passed the Colo bar on November 1, 1985.During my  first year as an attorney I worked for two law firms, then went out on my own on January 15, 1987.  I have been a sole practitioner since then, mostly handling divorce/family law cases.I have experienced a wide range of life experiences and occupations.  During High school and college I was a  Model A Ford mechanic.  I still own a 1930 Model A that my dad bought when my mom was pregnant with me.  I obtained a commercial rated Hot Air Balloon license in college and flew balloons for many years.  I also flew on the Trapeze at the Denver YMCA for many years with my brother, who was a nationally rated gymnast.I have raised 5 kids--two who were 3 and 5 when I married my ex-wife.  She and I created my third; and I now have my 4th and 5th kids, who were also about 3 and 5 when I mearried my present wife, Melissa, who works at the Colorado Bar Association.  All 5 of my kids (now aged 16 to 32) and I deeply love each other.  There is no hint that they are not all from the same family.  Raising kids has been the highlight of my life.  I am extensively familiar with raising kids in mixed/broken families, which is why I work passionately to help my clients and their children navigate divorce and break-ups in a healthy manner, maximizing both parents' roles in their lives.I am very lucky to have been blessed with such a great family and life, however I must say the practice of divorce law is very negative and taxing on one's soul. Thankfully, I am able to be somewhat crazy, outspoken, and fun-loving in my personal life--a major contrast from my professional life.

I have to say, my divorce was the most painful thing I had ever experienced. Three years! Rick kept track of every detail, every detail. I was amazed when he would say something that we discussed a year or two ago. His memory just blew me away. He invested so much time and effort into my case, it was unbelievable. He won a very hard case in many aspects from child support to alimony to parenting time. Quite simply, he rocked it. I have to say, Rick is worth every dime. This guy knows the law better than anyone else. If you want to win and have someone who is sensible about your divorce, Rick is your best bet. To this day, I consider him a friend and a loyal attorney.

When something is important to me or I want a specific outcome, I buy the best product or I hire the best service provider. Rick Nicoletti is that best product and service provider, you get what you pay for. I was referred to Rick by a therapist. He was described as a father’s rights advocate for which some rather compelling testimonials were provided. While he is experienced in every aspect of child custody, divorce and separation, his expertise is righting wrongs in the most fair and respectable way. Rick is very different from other lawyers. 1 - Translates legal matters and the very complicated legal process in layman terms. He validates your understanding of critical issues/matters. 2 - Gives necessary attention to your case. Let’s you know that you are an equal player in this process and your fervent engagement is critical to a successful outcome. 3 - Lays out options for your case and the respective implications of each option in terms of estimated cost, timeframe, and frustration level you can anticipate. 4 - Lends peaceful clarity and focus to the client. While he listens, he is objective and defuses the strong emotions that can arise in this environment, focuses you on what’s important and what needs to be accomplished. I can’t speak to separation and divorce, but if you value time with your precious child/children and you want the opportunity to spend more time with him/her/them, HIRE Rick Nicoletti! Summary: - Every dollar I paid to Rick was well spent. - Every element of advice provided was well received. - Every aspect of my child custody arrangement (to this point) is exactly what I wanted. My Outcome - I have my son weekdays from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm and split overnights 50/50. AMAZING! I couldn’t be happier.

I was so incredibly lucky to find Mr. Rick Nicoletti! My son was removed from Denver and I was panicked and destroyed. Mr. Nicoletti was referred to me after my initial law firm was unsure about the success of my sons return. Upon my first meeting with Rick, I knew he had the knowledge, care, and drive to do everything he could to bring my son home. Mr. Nicoletti is a father and a family man, so he understands a parent’s love and supports each parent’s relationship with the child. Rick has 30+ years of experience in child custody, divorce, and separation cases, which this knowledge was extremely helpful in my case. He was able to guide me through the child family investigator, discovery, deposition, and final custody hearing, all with the help of his amazing Secretary Jamie Larson. In the court room is where Mr. Nicoletti performs like a true professional. I was so amazed and proud to have him on my side and felt prepared and confident. This team (Rick and Jamie) worked so unbelievably hard on my case and treated me like family, as I truly believe that only family would work that hard to ensure a positive outcome for me and my son. In the end, Mr. Nicoletti was able to prove my consistent involvement and deep bond in my son’s life, shed light on the untruthful accusations, and my son came home!!! I could never thank Rick Nicoletti and Jamie Larson enough for their efforts in my case and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them in any child custody, divorce or separation case!
