You might expect a lawyer to cost $25,000 or more…
And depending on the lawyer you choose and the approach you take, it very easily could. When you work with a lawyer who is incentivized to prolong conflict rather than working efficiently towards a resolution, you might feel like you’re signing a blank check with no end in sight. At Lester Law, we do things differently. When you work with us, we help you achieve your goals at an affordable cost by staying out of a complicated, stressful court system.

When a Loved One Dies or Gets Sick
Uncontested Divorce & Custody
The average cost of a contested divorce or custody case in Colorado is between $15,000 – $25,000. When you work with a lawyer who focuses on the time they spend rather than on completing your case efficiently, you might feel like your lawyer isn’t listening to you and making the case more litigious and complicated so they can make more money.
Don’t want to feel like you’re signing a blank check with no end in sight? Still in a good place with the other party and ready to work towards a collaborative agreement? Don’t want to waste money just to break up? When you work with me on your uncontested case, you’ll stay out of court, save thousands of dollars, and protect your peace.
Don’t want to hire lawyers because they make the process more complicated and contentious? We don’t blame you. With our Separate Together Mediation, you get the benefit of a lawyer’s knowledge and experience without going to war with the other party. Here, neither party has a lawyer. Instead, you are both guided through the process by our experienced family law attorney-mediator with civility and confidence. In the end, you’ll have everything you need to complete your case. All you have to do is wait for the court to finalize the paperwork, and you’re done.
Don’t pay for legal services you don’t need. If you don’t want the whole pie, just buy a slice – or two!
