What Our Clients Say About Stuart
“My wife and I have used Stuart on two different occassions. Originally to create a will and various other estate documents and recently to update those documents. Stuart has always been easy to work with and is very knowledgeable. What impresses me the most is his honesty and integrity. He isn't interested in selling you services or drafting documents you don't need. He will take the time to explain what you do and do not need and why. My wife and I are very happy we hired Stuart and would strongly recommend him to others needing estate planning, probate or trust assistance.”

What Our Clients Say About Rob Hinds
“When I hired Rob less than a year ago, I was coming off a very disappointing experience with a different lawyer and was unsure what to expect from the legal community. Since the first moment I met Rob, he was invested and caring. I was involved in a custody dispute where I ended up fighting for the ability to see my child. Rob jumped in headfirst and poured every resource that he and the firm had into my case. He dealt with an aggressive and frustrating [opposition] with class and honor, as well as kept my expectations grounded, never shying away or shielding me from the unpleasant realities of the case.”

What Our Clients Say About Mike Hinds
"Hinds & Hinds is representing me in a contested divorce. As an attorney, I know excellent service when I see it. [...] Michael Hinds, my attorney, and Riley DeWaters, his paralegal, are responsive, prompt, helpful, professional, knowledgeable, skilled, courteous, friendly, and very supportive during this difficult time. We just concluded mandatory mediation, and both Michael and Riley did a stunning job! I couldn't be more satisfied. It was also very clear that the professional mediator has very high regard for Hinds & Hinds as a leading family law firm in the Denver area. And so does opposing counsel, which is invaluable. Don't look elsewhere. Hinds & Hinds will serve you well." -Scott B.

“My only regret with Lucy is not finding her back when I was first getting my divorce; she would have been able to prevent the post-divorce situations in which I’ve found myself. Lucy is not only effective in what she does, but she’s also a pleasure to talk with. She’s supportive and straight-forward, kind and honest and always realistic and thoughtful in her answers to any questions. I’ve recommended Lucy to several friends of mine in need of one of the best family lawyers in Denver, and all of them have thanked me for doing so. Lucy is that good.”
