Reviews

Suzanne is a beacon of hope and a Godsend to my family at a time when our options were extremely limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Suzanne and her team are the best family law practice in Colorado. Bar none.

Former Client – December 2020, Yelp Review

I could not have asked for better legal representation for me during a very difficult time. Ms Griffiths and her team always had my best interests at heart and fought for my rights. I would not hesitate to recommend the firm to someone else.
