We compared 19 family and divorce lawyers in Fort Collins on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

The family and divorce lawyers in Fort Collins fall into two camps: a large review base with a few rough edges, or near-perfect ratings built on a few dozen reviews. Modern Family Law has 332 Google reviews at 4.6, while Pascoe Law LLC holds a flat 5.0 on 62, and that trade-off between volume and polish is the real choice on this page.

Short answer: Modern Family Law has the deepest review history, with 4.6 stars across 332 Google reviews. Divorce Matters (4.6 on 105) and Alexander & Associates (4.6 on 93) follow on volume. The two highest star ratings belong to smaller practices: Pascoe Law LLC at 5.0 on 62 and The Law Office of Stephen Vertucci LLC at 4.9 on 45. No fee figures are published for any of them, so ask about retainers and hourly rates on the first call.

Our take: A strong choice if you expect a contested hearing, rated 4.9. The smaller review count is the only reason it sits last.

What the scorecard numbers mean

The numbers here are pulled from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated each practice, compared against the others listed. Confidence weighs rating by volume, so 4.6 across hundreds of clients carries more weight than 5.0 across a few dozen. Recency tracks whether reviews are still coming in. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a divorce lawyer cost in Fort Collins? (2026)

We found no published fee figures for these practices, so we’re not quoting any. Family law fees usually depend on whether the case is contested, whether children are involved, how many hearings are needed, and whether the lawyer bills hourly or offers limited-scope help. One reviewer of Alexander & Associates describes a hybrid option where the client does some work themselves, and Modern Family Law’s site promotes LLP support as a lower-cost route.

Where to find them

The offices sit on South Howes Street, Boardwalk Drive, Redwing Road and nearby streets in Fort Collins. Between them the sites name Old Town, Timnath, Wellington, Laporte, Loveland, Greeley and Windsor among the places they serve. Searching for a divorce lawyer near me? Each listing shows a phone number and directions.

Questions worth asking at a consultation

  • Will you handle my case yourself, or will a paralegal or associate do most of the work?
  • How are fees structured, and can I hire you for part of the case only?
  • How often will I hear from you, and how fast do you return calls and emails?
  • How do you approach custody, and what outcomes are realistic in Larimer County?
  • If the case turns contested, are you comfortable taking it to trial?

Frequently asked questions

How were these family lawyers chosen?

We ranked Fort Collins family and divorce practices with a public Google presence by rating, review volume, consistency and recency, then read their reviews and sites for what each one handles.

Do these lawyers handle child custody as well as divorce?

Custody work appears in the websites or reviews for each of them. Modern Family Law, Divorce Matters, Pascoe Law LLC and The Law Office of Stephen Vertucci LLC list it on their sites, and reviewers describe custody cases at Alexander & Associates.

Can I hire a lawyer for only part of my divorce?

Some practices offer it. A reviewer describes a hybrid arrangement at Alexander & Associates, and Modern Family Law promotes LLP support. Ask each practice what limited help it offers.

Where to start

Modern Family Law is the default if you want the deepest track record, and Pascoe Law LLC or The Law Office of Stephen Vertucci LLC suit people who value a smaller, more personal practice. Book a consultation with two of them and compare how clearly each explains fees.
