This allows our clients to enjoy highly individualized attention at reasonable rates.Our team approach allows for many cases to have the involvement of two or more attorneys and also by other legal experts. For the clients, that means that their cases will be reviewed by attorneys with a variety of perspectives, styles and legal expertise, who can review elements of constitutional, civil, family, criminal, and corporate law to determine the best approach. At the same time, the lead attorney oversees the entire process and develops a one-on-one relationship with the client.Some of our attorneys are more familiar with certain judges and/or certain jurisdictions, and the team process allows them to weigh in with those valuable insights.The team approach also has financial benefits for the client, allowing paralegals to create first drafts at lower rates, thereby minimizing costs. The client is charged a “blended rate” reflecting the average of attorney and paralegal time, to reflect the incorporation of the much lower paralegal rate for delegable tasks.This approach also means that if the client’s lead attorney is in court or away for some other reason, there is always someone available who is familiar with their case should an urgent need arise.BAM’S FAMILY LAW EXPERTISEOur award-winning attorneys have enjoyed recognition from their community in the form of 10.0 “Superb” ratings on Avvo.com, numerous five-star client reviews, and being selected for inclusion on the list of Colorado SuperLawyers® Rising Stars—an honor reserved for only 2.5% of the attorneys in the state.Shareholders Margot Alicks and Kyle McFarlane were recognized, respectively, as a “Compleat Lawyer” and an “Up and Coming Lawyer” by Law Week Colorado, the state’s premier legal trade publication.Kyle was also named to GenXYZ in 2019, ColoradoBiz magazine's award for young professionals that recognizes outstanding Colorado business and community leaders between the ages of 21 and 39.Shareholder Heather Broxterman was also named to the 2020 and 2021 Editions of The Best Lawyers in America.
