How To Choose a Divorce Lawyer
An outstanding attorney must understand which legal strategies will work in your case. In fact, there may be a time and place to act more aggressively in a case and act more collaboratively later on. You need a divorce attorney that has the experience and skill to custom-tailor an approach for your unique case. No two cases are the same, just as no two marriages are the same.
We can only deliver a client a custom-tailored solution when we communicate clearly, often, and well. Our attorneys will ensure that you know what is happening in your case and have the information and legal advice to make educated decisions about how to move forward.

Griffiths Law Was Built on a Foundation of Excellence and Experience
We will build a team of the very best people to meet your needs in your family law matter. Your team will have both attorneys and paralegals with specific expertise in exactly the critical issues for your case, working on the most cost-effective basis possible.
Griffiths Law’s predecessor firm, Gutterman Griffiths, was formed in May 2002 by Suzanne Griffiths and Sheila Gutterman. In a country where going into battle for a divorce was often the norm, Suzanne and Sheila introduced a new concept that stressed three concepts: do no harm, consent, and triage. Sheila Gutterman believed that clien ts should be treated the same way as doctors treat their patients and vowed to do as little harm as possible. Sheila became the “mother” of Collaborative Law in Colorado. The firm offered simplified dissolution, mediation, arbitration and all options for resolving disputes. Suzanne Griffiths contributed her significant expertise in handling complex and challenging financial and international parenting cases. Both founders are noted for significant teaching and writing on legal issues and both have won numerous awards. The firm has been involved in some of the most complex and high asset cases in Colorado and has also pioneered changes in the law regarding children
Shortly after the founding of the firm, Diana Powell joined Gutterman Griffiths, bringing decades of experience as a securities and business law attorney to the firm. Powell always says that your divorce is the biggest business transaction of your life.
Ann Gushurst, with her creative approach to thorny and complex legal problems, joined as a shareholder in 2005. She brings incredible technical expertise and deep knowledge of Colorado case law. She was instrumental in pioneering changes in the law for same-sex parents in Colorado.
