What you need to know about Attorneys

Attorneys:  When you hear this you either cringe or you smile, there really isn't any in-between feelings.  We cringe because we have had to use an Attorney and the situation was bad.  We cringe because the Attorney was bad or we just cringe because we see $$$$$$.




I'm going to talk about a different side of Attorneys.  Let's face it ALL professions have some that give their profession a bad name...but we hear more about the Attorneys that do.  Why?  Because Attorneys are our last resort in a crisis situation and if they fail us there are no other remedies.  It's not like a plumber who didn't fix the leak...yes, we have more water damage but we can call another to fix it.  Once you are in a legal situation...well, you know how those sometimes end.

Here's the other side of Attorneys that we sometimes don't see or we forget.  They are human and have hundreds of emotions because they have hundreds of clients.  The good Attorneys never forget they are human and the good Attorneys will always treat you as if you were their only client....the hard part about this is we, as clients, often forget they have other clients.

Why is it that you very rarely talk to the Attorney?  It always seems like you only talk to their paralegal or legal assistant.  Let me tell you a secret about that:  You WANT to talk to their paralegal!  Why?  Do you think the CEO knows the DETAILS of what they do?  NO.  The paralegals KNOW THE DETAILS where the Attorneys KNOW THE LAW!  Occasionally you will find the GREAT Attorneys that not only know the law but know the details.  When you find them, and here's the ironic part, you don't need to talk to anyone.  

I see Attorneys as machines....the GREAT ones are well oiled, the not so great ones....well you will need to be the squeaky wheel.  

I don't work for an Attorney.  I can type simple documents for you when you don't need an Attorney.  What I have been blessed with is this; I have Attorneys that exceed GREAT when you need one. 

First I have to tell you that according to the Colorado Rules of Conduct for Attorneys and fees is referral fees ARE PROHIBITED! I want to stress this so when you know when I refer you to an Attorney it is ONLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES to be the best of the best and treat their clients with the respect that you deserve!  When I tell you to tell them I sent you it is not because I'm waiting for a "check" to come for that referral.  I tell you to make sure they know I referred you because I want them to know I still VALUE them as a referral source.  All of my referral Attorneys have PROVEN (beyond a reasonable doubt....had to add that) that they are not only exceptionally Attorneys but they are the EXCEPTION to the rule.  I'm not going to deny that there isn't any "perks" to referring you to these Attorneys because there are.  These perks come in the form of usually I can sweet talk the firm into fitting client in sooner than the calendar will normally allow.  Another perk is when I refer you to an Attorney you stay with that Attorney, you aren't "given" to another in the firm.  Another perk....you, the client wins!!  

My referral list for Attorneys is small.  If I refer you to them....you can be assured that THEY are the BEST for your situation.  None of them will "gouge" you for fees, not because I referred them but because that is who they are.  They have integrity.   They are honest.  They are straightforward....but most importantly they are EXCELLENT in their field.  

Here's my referral list that I personally recommend (in no particular order)

I have separated them into Northern and Southern Colorado only because in some cases it is easier for you to have an Attorney close to you.

Divorce Services: With Children

There is nothing more difficult than realizing that your marriage is over.  Now add the children into the mix and it suddenly becomes one of the hardest things you ever have to do.

It doesn't have to be difficult, for you or the children.  In fact the easier you make it...the easier it is on the children.  They watch YOU for cues on how they are supposed to behave and react in difficult situations.

Don't put them in the middle.  Don't fight when they can hear you or see you.  Why fight at all?  If it is over what is there to fight about?  Remember why you got married and take those emotions into your divorce.  





Call Legal Edge Consulting, LLC for all your Divorce needs.  If we can help you with the paperwork we will.  If you want an Attorney to review your documents after we type them...we have that for a small fee, paid directly to the Attorney.  Should any changes need to be made to the paperwork, after that consultation with the Attorney, we make those changes for free! 

If you need an Attorney we will refer you to one of our referral Attorneys that will take your needs as important as we do.  Our referral Attorneys specialize in Family Matters and have a proven record success.

What is your New Years Resolution?

That time of year has come....we have to start thinking about what we want to accomplish, change or do in the new year.

There are some who refuse to make New Years Resolutions.  The people who do, more often than not, will break them.  



I want to talk about getting your affairs in order:  Do you have your Last Will and Testament completed?  What about your Medical Durable Powers of Attorney?  Your General Durable Power of Attorney?

Most people do not want to think about these things because "thinking" about them means that you recognize that life is fragile and none of us want to think that our time is coming to an end. 

Here's the problem:  What you don't think about today your family HAS to think about later. What is a simple process for you today becomes a complicated process for your family tomorrow.  

Who knows what you want.....BETTER THAN YOU?

Ask yourself these questions:

• If you were in the hospital who would make medical decisions if you couldn't?
• How long are you going to be hooked up to life support machines if your family has to make that decision?
• If you were unable to pay your bills who would do it for you?
• That safety deposit box you have all your important papers in....who is going to be able to access them when you cannot?
• That precious item you hold dear to your heart....who is going to have it when it is no longer yours to have?
• Who is going to make sure all of your wishes are carried out?

Don't think of getting your affairs in order as a "bad" thing.  Many clients are relieved when it is completed.  When they call they sometimes say, "We've put this off long enough, it's time."  When they leave there is a sense of relief and "can't believe that it wasn't as 'dreary' as they thought it would be.

There are many ways you can complete these documents:

• Go to your local office supply store and buy them and fill them out.  One caution on this; make sure your bank, doctor, hospital, etc. will accept them. There is nothing worse than spending $100.00 on documents and hours/days/weeks to fill them out to only find out they cannot be used.
• Paralegal can type these documents for you but make sure the documents they use are State approved, preferably Attorney written documents.
• Attorney:  When you need legal advice or a trust it is essential you speak with an Attorney!

Here at Legal Edge Consulting, LLC we can type your COLORADO STATE APPROVED, ATTORNEY WRITTEN documents.  Want to know the best part?  We have Attorneys who will review these documents after they are completed for ONLY $50.00 and should you and the Attorney decide changes should be made...they are done for FREE!

If you need a trust or have a more complicated Will we have Attorneys that we can refer you to that will 100% take care of YOU and your needs!!

Here's the best part:  If you are unsure of what you need call us and schedule an appointment.  We cannot give you any legal advice but what we can do is get an Attorney on the phone who can tell you what is best for your situation.  If we can help you we will.  If we can't we will schedule the appointment with the Attorney at that time.  There is NO CHARGE for this appointment if we are unable to help you.

If you are needing to get your affairs in order call us!  Documents are completed in about 1-2 hours depending on how many documents you need and if you are an individual or a couple.  When you leave you will completed EXECUTED documents that are signed, witnessed and notarized!!

Make us your first call:  If we can help you we will.  If we can't we will refer you to a professional or Attorney that will.  Trust that whether we help you or one of our preferred referrals we will all put your priorities first.
