I regret that I had to get a divorce, but I won’t regret hiring Erika. My representative was second to none. She ethically represented all of my best interests.
-Lucas
I won’t trust anyone other than Elizebeth. My divorce was lengthy with custody battles and CFI investigations; it took 17 month to get the final decree and she fought for the best interest of my kids. I have full custody still today (9 years later). Elizebeth has represented me along the way over the years with visitation issues and collecting child support; her focus has always been what is most important to me… my kids. I have watched Elizebeth grow as an attorney and she continues to hit the bar of excellence. My children are safe and happy and I owe a lot of that to Elizebeth’s hard work and dedication to my case over the years, my most grateful and heartfelt gratitude goes out to you, Thank you Elizabeth!
-Kryssy
Going through divorce is very tough especially with children, but GEM Family Law really made me feel like a person and not a number. They really cared about my situation and went the extra mile even with me living out of state. Thank you for everything you assisted me with and the support you gave during this trying time.
-Rachel
As far as I’m concerned Ashley walks in water! Based on my direct experience she is fantastic under pressure in court. I was assailed in court and taken by surprise by a very litigious ex with an aggressive high priced attorney and Ashley had to put together a defense over lunch. With only one hour to prepare a defense and prep me she pulled it off like the star she is. We won. Even getting court costs. I highly recommend.
-Rick
Elizabeth is the best!
-Mark
I cannot say enough GREAT things about Erika at this firm. She is so knowledgeable and helped me through one of the hardest times I have had to go through. She is the epitome of professional and is an expert negotiator. 10/10 would use again, but really hope I don’t have a reason to ?
-Meagan
Elizabeth was the best attorney! She was always there for me, very smart and did amazing in court. I would HIGHLY recommend her.
-Melinda
My experience with GEM law firm has been excellent. As a female, who had emotionally difficult experiences which lead me to be faced with incredibly intimidating decisions ahead of me, I felt supported by each staff member who was involved with my case. The tenacity and level of competence in both law and personal skills of Elizabeth, Hannah, and Erika is truly inspiring. Thank you for all you do GEM law firm.
-SB
I was not going to hire a lawyer for my divorce, but I was convinced by my boyfriend and friends to do so. I am so glad I decided to listen to their advice. Meagan was so supportive, intelligent, and also funny when I needed comfort in my messy divorce from an abuser. She got me way more than I even imagined. I cannot say enough amazing things about her and the firm, I felt like I was in a cocoon of protection after feeling so unsafe for so long, it was exactly what I needed. Meagan is so well-versed in family law, she absolutely nailed my mediation. I had nothing but a positive experience with the firm!

Erika is thoughtful, thorough, and intelligent. She’s been such an asset to have through these trying times. I can not say enough about how thankful I was to have her on my side. I will continue to recommend her to all my family and friends.
-Bobbi
“I walked into ashley’s office in a new mother about to be homeless because of my son’s father. I was afraid and didn’t know if i could even legally take my colorado born son back to my family across the country. Ashley was not only compassionate but also very level headed during this emotional time with me. Ashley navigated the case without hesitation and kept me in a very real- istic mindset of what the outcome could be… In the end she executed the order of proof flawlessly and won our argument with opposing council. My son now receives the support so desperately needed to raise him & give him the life he deserves”

“It was a breath of fresh air to deal with meagan during my custody case. By far the best experience i have ever had with an attorney. She was very conscious of funds. I did not feel like i was being over-billed. She was professional, courteous, understating of my difficulties. She always had myself and my son’s best interests in mind. You never hope to need a divorce or custody attorney but when you do, it’s nice to have a good one. “
-Chris
“Ashley did a fantastic job representing me in my case. Through her professional skillset and knowledgeable arguments and outcome was achieved that met my goals and expectations. Her “about me” is spot-on with the experience i had with her. She was strong and dedicated providing great defense but in a less adversarial manner which i greatly appreciated. I will certainly not hesitate to return to her for future representation if needed. “
