Guggisberg & Associates

I worked with Melissa and her team over a year ago in my divorce, despite the awful circumstances overall, the Guggisberg crew was most professional, helpful, practical. End point was fair to all. Thanks!

Professional and honest. My case was extremely contentious, and Jennifer was honest and up front with me about my chances of success. She was ultimately respectful of pursuing the course of action I wanted, and things were resolved favorably. I appreciated her candor, as well as her conscientiousness in saving me money.
I would absolutely recommend her.

I would give negative stars if I could. I hope everyone who considers using this law firm sees all of the warnings in regards, especially mine. I do not appreciate throwing dirt on an organization's name, but in this case, it is about accountability and truthfulness and many other ethics and virtues about which this organization is clearly ignorant.

Please do not waste your precious time, energy, or money even *thinking* about using this law firm. They are completely unprofessional and the very definition of malpractice. They do not "work" your case appropriately nor, dare I say, legally in any regard. They blatantly disregard specific Colorado laws, regulations and statutes and manipulate these to favor them as a law firm. When researching Colorado law, several concerns and questions were brought up but they expressed they were inapplicable when indeed that was far from the truth. They have basically gotten away with screwing people over. There is terrible communication between all who work at the firm, which causes an awful headache. They mixed up paperwork a countless number of times. They will lie to your face, and, in this case specifically, they will not fight for you at all. It appeared that they were fighting for the other party! They will try (do not let them succeed!) to get you to make unreasonable agreements and settlements with the other party's lawyers before meeting with a judge, and of course, all favoring the other party. In this specific case, they intentionally forced the case to continue for over a year and half (an absolutely unfathomable time) when it could have been resolved within the amount of time Colorado requires, which is 90 days. It is believed they did this to milk their client's money. Secondly, for this pitiable "service", their rates in themselves are grossly overcharged. They will nickle and dime you for everything and charge you for ridiculous items such as receiving emails, phone calls and the shortest communication *from you as the client*, let alone what they charge for communicating with you as a client and "working" your case.
They will also charge an insane 18% interest on invoices paid "late" when they were never sent, or even when they were paid on time. The debt accrued from this case is completely mindblowing. Needless to say, they were fired and were not even permitted to continue with the case. The new lawyers were angrily perplexed with the parenting plan this firm had drawn up and said it was terrible.

Again, please, please do not waste your precious time, energy, or money even *thinking* about using this law firm! Please stay away!
