One lawyer who has run every process in the stack.
Finds what is hidden
More than 700 government fraud investigations. Unreported accounts, crypto, transfers to family and RSUs that vest after the decree are where he looks first.
Red-teams your case
As a former Colorado Deputy District Attorney, he attacks your position the way opposing counsel will, before they do.
Knows what the judge weighs
As a Colorado Child and Family Investigator, he has written the reports courts rely on in parenting decisions.
Divorce, translated into terms you already use.
Analogies, not legal advice. Every case turns on its own facts and Colorado law.
A careful merge, not a force push
Every asset and debt is inventoried, classified and divided. Skipping the diff is how expensive conflicts happen.
Full logs, no redactions
Both sides exchange the records. Gaps get noticed, and an incomplete disclosure costs credibility with the court.
A schedule with clear ownership
Who has the kids when, who decides what, and how disputes get resolved. Ambiguity becomes the next bug report.
Vesting schedules matter
RSUs, options and ESPP shares granted during the marriage need careful analysis of what was earned when.
Code review before production
Most well-prepared cases settle here, faster and cheaper than a contested hearing.
The incident postmortem
Evidence, testimony and a ruling. You want a lawyer who has done this as a prosecutor.
Production systems, not a demo.
