Our take: The highest rating on the page, ranked lower because the review base is smaller. Reviews come from fathers, so it fits that kind of case best.

What the scores mean

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the firm, compared with other Denver family law practices. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from over a thousand clients counts for more than a 4.9 from a hundred. Recency reflects how recently clients still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
