Most people wait to call a lawyer until something has already gone wrong. In our experience, many legal questions are simpler, and often less costly, when they are handled early. A short conversation can help you understand your options before decisions get made for you.

What an early consultation can do

  • Help you understand where you stand and what questions to ask.

  • Spot gaps in an existing will, trust or power of attorney before they cause problems.

  • Give you time to talk with family members and make decisions without pressure.

  • Help you decide whether you need a lawyer at all, or just some direction.

Common reasons people in the Roaring Fork Valley reach out

  • Planning a will or trust after a new child, marriage, divorce or move.

  • Naming someone to handle finances or medical decisions through powers of attorney.

  • Planning for a family member with special needs.

  • Settling a disagreement through mediation instead of court.

  • Handling a loved one's estate after a death.

What to bring

You do not need to have everything figured out. It helps to bring a short list of your questions, any existing documents (such as an old will or deed), and the names of people you might want involved. We will listen first and explain things in plain language.
