Testimonials

“Going through a divorce was one of the most difficult times in my life, and I’m beyond grateful to have had Marlana Caruso and the Altitude Family Law by my side. From the first interaction, Marlana and her team treated me with genuine care and respect, always taking the time to explain things clearly and make sure I understood every step of the process. Her background and knowledge of the legal processes is impressive. She is a force and will work to discover the truth day and night. Her relentless work ethic to provide the court with the truth and uproot lies, deception, and manipulation was a life saver. Most attorneys in family law seem to provide legal services that are a cookie cutter answer and just slowly allow the process to take its course and absorb more money. I found this true with the previous two law firms that I utilized. This is NOT the approach by Altitude Family Law or Marlana Caruso. Altitude Family Law was my third law firm in an extremely highly contested court proceeding. They took the time to fully understand every single issue and problem. Their focus was finding the truth and presenting the truth to the court so they could ethically represent me. It took many hours/days/weeks/months of research, with my participation to strategically develop this case. Marlana, Emily, and Martha all represented the facts and found the truth to reach a fair and just final orders divorce decree. Altitude Family Law listened to me, and were respectful to me and my family, with a drive from the team to understand the full scope of this extremely stressful case. The volume of research and development of multiple (+10) three ring binders, 6-8 inches thick each, was professionally assembled for the proceedings. This effort was time-consuming but vital to present the truth and facts to the court. What stood out most was Marlana’s integrity and professionalism. She never played games or made unrealistic promises — instead, she fought for what was fair and right; and always did so with class and compassion. I always felt that my best interests and my children’s best interest were truly being protected. Because of Marlana’s hard work and dedication, my case had an extremely successful outcome, and I finally feel like I can move forward with peace of mind. I can’t thank her enough for helping me through such a tough chapter with strength, grace, and empathy. Altitude Family Law continues to represent me and field different motions, and Marlana and her team address them promptly and ensure I am aware of what is happening through additional harassment after the final orders. She gives me peace of mind that she will continue to represent me, while protecting me and my family. If you’re looking for an attorney and a law firm who will not only fight for you, but also truly care about you as a person. I wholeheartedly recommend Marlana Caruso and Altitude Family Law. They are simply the best.”

“I cannot thank Daniel Zarnowski and his team enough for everything they have done for my son and I. From the very beginning, Daniel showed me kindness, compassion and patience. He truly listened to all of my feelings and concerns. Going through a family law case was one of the hardest and most emotional experience i’ve ever had and I truly couldn’t have gotten through it without Daniel and his team. They didn’t just see me as a case, they saw me as a parent who was scared and just wanted what was best for my child. There’s so many times I felt overwhelmed but Mr Zarnowski always took the time to explain everything to me, answer my endless questions and reassured me that everything was going to be okay. They fought for my son and I when I didn’t feel like I had the strength to fight for us myself. I will forever be grateful for the support, guidance and heart that Daniel and his team put into my case. If you are going through something difficult and need someone who will stand by your side every step of the way, I could not recommend Daniel and his whole team more. Everyone in the office is truly one of a kind.”

“We were referred to AFL by a friend and I don't believe we could have had a better experience as far as legal paperwork is concerned! Priscilla and her team did an amazing job of not only translating our wishes into a prenup, but Priscilla and Bailey delivered everything they promised, and then some! I would HIGHLY recommend Priscilla Rosenlund and Altitude Family Law.”

“Hands down the best family law practice! Priscilla was a pleasure to work with; I was under a time crunch with my case and the entire team worked effortlessly on getting things done timely and efficiently. I highly recommend this team!”

“Dan and his staff were excellent to work with. Dan was very responsive and led me through some difficult points in my divorce with extreme professionalism and competence. His staff kept me informed and provided the required documents as we progressed. I highly recommend Altitude Family Law.”

“I made a great choice by selecting Altitude Family Law, Daniel and his crew for my recent divorce. Thankfully mine was not overly complex (no children), though the Altitude crew guided me to an amicable and successful outcome. I own my own business where I place promptness and clarity of communication at the top of our list. The communication I received from Daniel and the entire Altitude team was superb, timely and very well appreciated. I will certainly utilize Daniel and team for other legal matters in the future. John DePalma”

“Daniel was presented with a very interesting case with us almost 2 years ago. From the beginning of our case and still, Daniel has been upfront, honest, and so helpful with not only explaining what certain "lingo" or procedures mean but also with just defending us as clients. Daniel is very responsive with communication, especially in time-sensitive matters, and is very clear with his advice. Daniel has also continued to work with us when certain bills come for the month prior and explain the certain costs or break up the due dates so we don't have to be "put out" when paying for services. I will always recommend Daniel to anyone in need of a situation to be treated fairly and put your/the children's needs first.”

“Daniel was experienced and professional, but also compassionate, understanding and encouraging. He was polite and respectful as he fought for me with the courts, but also uncompromising and persistent. I believe it was his approach that helped win my case. I recommend Daniel to anyone who needs assistance with family law. He also successfully assisted me with a legal matter on my job.”

“I worked with Daniel on a child custody case. He was tough when he needed to be, very respectful of the situation and re-assured me when my emotions where everywhere. I was very happy with the end agreement that the judge approved. I would recommend him to my family and friends, and work with him again if the need arises.”

“I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service provided by Daniel Zarnowski and his firm. From the very beginning, they were professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt supported throughout. Thanks to their expertise, I achieved a favorable outcome in all my cases. I highly recommend Daniel Zarnowski to anyone in need of legal assistance!”

“I was in a situation where I felt like I needed to be represented by someone with compassion and understanding! Also felt as if I was battling the law and judge was not in my favor! my Lawyer Daniel Zarnowski helped me get through a very rough time for myself and child with a positive outcome!”

“Mr. Zarnowski represented me for almost four years during a very difficult and emotional time in my life as a single mom. The father of my son has significantly more money than I do, which made things even more challenging. Mr. Zarnowski was my guide through all the court proceedings, which were often confusing and overwhelming. He made me feel respected, valued, and truly understood the kind of fight I wanted to put up, or not put up. We've been through so much together, and I am incredibly grateful for his help and support. You can trust him and his judgement is sound. Let him guide you through this terrible process.”

“Daniel and his colleagues at Altitude Family Law managed my amicable divorce with tremendous professionalism, attention to detail, prompt and clear communication, and the utmost concern for fairness and the well-being of our daughter. During mediation and throughout the process, Daniel and Martha were the organized ones, keeping the process moving even when the other side was less than responsive. He was able to resolve the case through mediation, successfully pushing for an appropriate level of child support and ensuring assets on both sides were protected in the interests of all parties. I’d recommend Daniel to anyone.”

“What an amazing job you did in helping a loved one to protect her grandchild and get her in a safe and loving home. Top Notch!”

“I really enjoyed working with Daniel and his team. They are amazing and really put my mind at ease during the process.”

“Daniel was my lawyer for my divorce. He was always very helpful and always replied very quick. I would highly recommend him if you are thinking about divorce. He was more concerned about me than making money on the divorce. He always tried to help me save some money when he could instead of filing unnecessary motions and going to court when it wasn't needed. Ended divorce with a 50/50 agreement and both parties happy.”

“Daniel is by the best family law lawyer out there! He makes the process as easy as possible for a stressful situation. Very professional and he will fight for his clients. My case was taxing, however, having Daniel in my corner really put me at ease. He went above and beyond for me and my family. I can't thank him enough for his help and insight. If I ever need another family lawyer, Daniel is my go-to moving forward!”

“Daniel and Julie were so wonderful at helping navigate the complicated process that is divorce. Daniel was great at laying everything out, answering questions and helping the process go as smoothly as possible and within a short amount of time. So pleased with my experience!”

“Daniel was very kind towards my family and understanding of our needs. He stayed on top of our case, walked us through everything and took great care. This process was new to me so I didn't know what to do or how the whole process worked. He did not let my ex walk all over me and fought every step of the way for me and my kids. I highly recommend Daniel for your family law needs although I hope you never have a need for representation.”

“Daniel has made my process as easy as possible. I've never been in a situation where I needed an attorney before, but he made sure to be as transparent and thorough as possible, making sure my needs were met. I couldn't recommend him enough.”

“Daniel is one of the most respectful attorneys that I have had the pleasure to have worked on my case. He responds quick and efficiently. I would recommend him for any legal needs.”

“Daniel is hands-down the best family law lawyer in existence. He is experienced, communicative, knowledgeable, timely and devoted to working for your child’s best interest. I recommend Daniel for absolutely anyone experiencing a divorce or a custody issue. He has helped my child and I greatly, and I am forever thankful!”

“Daniel and his assistant Julie have been fantastic and I can only count finding them as a blessing. They have helpped me in my case and am currently in the the last leg of my proceedings. Regardless of the outcome I know that they have done their best by me and have more then earned my respect and trust. I never needed a lawyer and the most amount of legal issues I've had were traffic tickets. Daniel was able to educate me a bit on the process and the reality of the system. He and Julie were able to guide me to a very acceptable outcome for the divorce and have been very flexible the few times ive needed it. If you are in the market for a family attorney your search stops here. 10000 out of 10, you would be a fool to not have these guys on your team!”

“He took care of everything it was a nice peace of mind to have while I was going through so much.”

“Daniel is the fourth atty I’ve put on retainer in a very long custody battle over my daughter. By far he is the best. He is sharp and cuts to the quick both in his court motions and during litigation. He wouldn’t back down and he really cared about my daughter and the outcome. When my ex’s wife filed a restraining order against me for showing up at her house to pick up my daughter he so throughly humiliated them via cross exam we didn’t even have to offer a defense for the court to dismiss the case. Shortly thereafter my ex finally gave up the battle and my daughter can finally be a healthy normal teenager. I can’t recommend Daniel enough.”

“When something traumatic happened to my child, I was desperate to find a last-minute lawyer only a couple days before a set hearing. I was matched with Daniel through the firm he previously worked at, and I had no idea the spectacular service I would receive. He is attentive, knowledgeable, considerate, personable and has been an absolute god-send. I am certain that he has his clients and their children’s best interest in mind during all situations. I recommend him to everyone in search of a family/divorce lawyer and will continue to do so. I am incredibly grateful to have his assistance!”

“I can not express enough how incredible Daniel was for me and my children. He always went the extra mile for us and he was an absolute God-send. He always made us feel like a priority and I would not have had the strength to make it through the lengthy divorce proceedings without him. He would constantly give me unwavering support and encouragement to keep pushing. I cannot recommend him enough. He will keep you calm and confident in the most stressful of situations. Thank you for everything.”

“Mr. Zalnowski is the best lawyer I ever dealt with dealing with my child and fighting for my rights as a father Mr. Zalnowski is the best lawyer I ever dealt with Hands down you will never find a better lawyer in my opinion He will fight for your rights as a parent male or female hands down you will not find anyone who will help anyone who has too fight for your rights as a parent best hands down you can't find anyone better ever/I sill can't believe what he did for me as a father best ten stars”

“I was forced into a position where I knew I had to get a lawyer in order to defend myself, and most importantly, my children. This was the biggest fight of my life and I knew I had to make the right choice or I’d suffer the consequences. After an extensive search, I landed at Daniel Zarnowski. Daniel offered me the most accurate and sound legal advice and the best representation that I could have found in the state of Colorado. Most importantly though, it was done with a level of integrity, care, and professionalism that I have not come across in a long time. Not just as my counsel, but as a human being. He fought for me tirelessly and gave me hands down the most superlative representation I’ve ever had legal or otherwise. If you are looking for someone to come along side you in your fight, someone who cares and has the knowledge to back it up, this is the man. If he can’t get it done, it’s because it’s not possible. There is no other reason. You will not regret having Danial in your corner.”

“Daniel absolutely exceeded my expectations for my divorce. I have two children and an ex who has a drinking problem. It was a high stress divorce. Daniel always called me back quickly. He was prepared in court and went after them. He made sure I was comfortable and eased my mind many times. He filed any and everything for me. I would hire him over and over again.”

“I hired Daniel for my divorce case. He made sure to keep me informed on what was going on and explained anything that I didn't understand. He was a great help through all of it. I'm so glad he was there. I couldn't have made it through all that without him.”

“Mr. Zarnowski, my attorney is the second attorney I've had in my life. Not only he's been passionate about me and my case, also extremely helpful and wise, as well as very organized. His closing argument did it all as well as his hard work. He's one of the very few best ones and he's definitely mine, as an attorney, as well as a friend and I wish him and his family the best . Minoo F.”

“My divorce and child custody case was significantly longer, and more complex, than most cases and Daniel represented me through the entire process without fail. He was always motivated and ready to what was needed to achieve what was best for me, my child, and case itself. He consistently communicated with me about how the processes worked and explained why certain things needed to be done. He was also never afraid to seek assistance from colleagues if it was needed or if he was unsure of something. Along with that he never left my questions or concerns unaddressed and made sure to always respond to my inquiries promptly, even if it was a weekend or holiday. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better attorney for my case. He was truly a great blessing for my case and I would recommend him to anyone no matter how simple or complex their case may be.”

“I hired Daniel based on a recommendation from another firm without any previous knowledge of him or his firm. I needed someone to quickly deal with a child custody case regarding moving out of state. I wasn’t set on hiring him until I had an initial phone consultation with him. He diligently listened to every aspect of my case guiding me through the next steps to take. I felt confident and reassured that my case would be taken care of thoroughly. Throughout the entire process he has been knowledgeable, quick, and most of all, responsive to my questions and needs. If you are looking for someone to handle your family law needs, I can't imagine anyone better!”

“Attorney Daniel Zarnowski was recommended to me by a friend who had been happy with his work in his child custody case a few years ago. After meeting with him, I chose to hire Mr. Zarnowski because he really listened to my story, cared about what I was going through and genuinely wanted to help in my situation. He proved to be highly knowledgeable in the area of divorce law. Daniel and his team took care of everything; filling out and filing of all the paperwork to the court, knowing the dates and deadlines and all of the requirements, dealing with my ex-husband and his attorney, all of the negotiations. Daniel wasn’t just pushing paper around, he really stood up for me and had mine/my kids best interest in mind. He was very respectful with opposing counsel, but he was direct and firm and wouldn’t back down during negotiations. He constructed an excellent parenting plan which included things I wouldn’t have even thought of. In my opinion Daniel Zarnowski is an excellent attorney and expert in his field. I have recommended him to family and friends and I will definitely be calling him with any future custody issues, child support modifications, or any other family law issues.”

“Daniel has been very professional and a true advocate for our court case. This case has been very stressful and not a common run of the mill situation. Daniel has helped us with the many twists and turns of the legal venues and the understanding of what we would expect and what we should work towards for a successful outcome. I struggled with understanding unprofessional CFIs and lazy judges, but with Daniel's insightfulness and the trust we gave to him, we navigated a horrific family matter with courage and resourcefulness. Daniel continues to support us with this ongoing case and we view him as a true friend tried through fire. I cannot thank my sister, another attorney, enough for recommending Daniel. Please know that Daniel will work the very best for you and your case.”

“very helpful with my case, and provided me with honest advice. I will continue to use his services and recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.”

“Daniel was great. He took his time and we always went over the details of the case thoroughly. My case was dismissed, but there was more that needed to happen even so. Daniel was the mediator between my ex and I, and helped me close a shared expense without me being in the line of fire. All was settled and done, I'm grateful I didn't have to do it on my own. Thank you Daniel!”

“Everyone at Shapiro Law was friendly and courteous. If it wasn't for them I don't know where my case would stand today. They took the utmost priority in helping my family and I not only feel better about our situation but taking the corrective actions to ensure our case would be positively resolved. I truly mean it, if 10 stars were an option that's where my review should stand. Daniel was incredibly diligent in my case. He helped my family and I feel better about our case and where we initially stood, but also fierce and persistent in court when the time called. Anyone in need of legal advice should consider Daniel and Shapiro Law as their first choice of counsel.”

“Daniel was very professional and prompt with handling my divorce case. He was easy to get a hold of and get answers from when I needed them. He was willing to put up a fight for me when needed and was going to make sure that I got what I needed from my divorce.”

“I very seldom use an attorney but I'm so glad I did on this occasion. Daniel was so helpful explaining the process and navigating the legal waters for me, I felt like he was genuinely concerned for my well being. Thank you Daniel and all the staff. Gabe”

“Marlana Caruso is amazing you are lucky to have her in your corner I know I was!”

“Marlana from the beginning was straight forward with what I could expect from what I was asking of her. She gave me what was mostly likely to happen with my case and what could possibly happen if I did or did not do what she needed me to do. Marlana continued to work with me and keep me heading in the right direction to get me the best possible outcome in my case. She never wavered even though I was up and down and all over the place. Her experience and knowledge continued to show throughout the entire process. This was unfortunately my 3rd custody case in my life. I say that only to say I have had many layers to represent me. Now I have found the only layer that will ever represent me again. Take it from my experience and if you get a chance for Marlana to represent you then you do it! She helped me to get 50/50 custody of my 7-month-old Daughter who I wasn't able to see due to her mom wanting control over the situation. I did not think this was possible and definitely not easily obtainable for a father in my experience. However, this is what I asked of Marlana!!! Through the whole processed I followed everything she said while giving her more grief than she needed. I am glad she was so straight forward and keeping me in line because as we walked out of court, she did the impossible!!! I listened to the judge side in favor of the FATHER in every single decision he had to decide on!!!! I now got to see my Daughter just as much as her mother! The mother still continues to try and control situations and find stuff against me and now all I do is send it to Marlana and she puts a stop to it with a well worded email. This is why she is my Layer and will continue to be my layer as long as I or anybody I know needs a Layer for this situation. I can be confident that I have somebody who knows what she is doing as I continue to move through life. That right there is worth everything.”

“Marlana and her team embodied the perfect combination of grace and expertise while handling my divorce. Quick response time, accurate answers and practical/diplomatic suggestions . . . all of which I greatly appreciated. Would definitely recommend to others.”

“Although my divorce case was finalized almost two years ago, there was still one outstanding matter of contention that required attention. Marlana jumped in after two of my previous attorneys left the firm and finished the necessary work. She familiarized herself with the case and provided the necessary continuity needed to close it out. Marlana's knowledge and expertise helped me achieve the desired outcome. Although relatively new to the case, there was nothing that fell between the cracks or was left in limbo, and all my concerns were addressed with the utmost efficiency. I'm grateful to Marlana and her team for everything they did, and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking legal assistance in family matters.”

“Marlana is extremely knowledgeable, articulate and responsive. By the time my case landed on her desk it was a nightmare and from there the courts just made it worse by making mistakes. Marlana was "johnny on the spot" the entire process, if I had questions, she answered immediately. All the areas of family law that applied to my case she knew inside and out, to the point that the judge was asking her questions about procedures. Marlana worked hard to manage the cost to me and to still give me the representation I needed. Her writings and filings were on point and extremely well written. I wish she had been my attorney 15 years ago when I was first divorced!!! I can't say enough good things about this attorney and the representation I received. I wll always be grateful that my file landed on her desk!!!!”

“Marlana Caruso is a top tier lawyer. I highly recommend Marlana for any family law matters. She is knowledgeable, she is patient, she defends her client’s rights and does everything in her power to get what the client deserves. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“I hired Marlana in August of 2019. My case was by far very complicated. Marlana from the beginning was very supportive and told me exactly what needed to take place. She went above and beyond to make sure the current and future custody arrangement was in the best interest of the children. I would recommend her for any custody matter especially if you need an attorney that is very knowledgable and won't fold under pressure.”

“Marlana was straight forward and honest. She was available at anytime to discuss problems or issues with my case. I am extremely satisfied with her professionalism and assistance through my divorce.”

“Friendly (and funny) and prompt with responses. Walked me through exactly what I should, and did expect.”

“I was looking for a Law Firm in Colorado. I found Mr. Eric Amat Y Leon on the internet. From our first contact till the very end of my spousal support Trial he has been wonderful. He got our work together done in a timely and professional manner, I was always treated with the highest respect. He is a very good listener and as made me feel comfortable. He is very smart and he knows his work well. I can highly recommend Eric.”

“Eric has helped myself and my family through a very stressful and challenge time of our lives. When it comes to an APR, experience really does matter. Eric's many years of experience has been a key to myself feeling very comfortable through the good times, the bad times, and the highs/lows that inevitably come associated with a family law case. Eric knows the laws very thoroughly and his experience shined above and beyond the level of opposing counsel. There is always a fear of accessibility when hiring a lawyer at a big firm, but Eric has been easy to communicate with, and kept me in the loop at every step of the way. If anyone is experiencing a difficult or challenging family law case, they should not hesitate to work with Eric.”
