As it is with many aspects of decision making in life, the more you are informed and educated about your options, the better equipped you are to make a decision that is the right decision for you. Few areas of life are more emotionally taxing than deciding whether or not to end a significant relationship, and how best to end that relationship if you choose to do so. Josh, Ben, and Michal formed Wohl Stetler Lord-Blegen, PLLC out of a commonly held...
The Collaborative Practice Model is an effective and increasingly common alternative to traditional court divorce. When a couple chooses Collaborative Practice to obtain a divorce, the process is known as Collaborative Divorce. Couples and their attorneys meet face-to-face, engaging with one another in a safe environment to reach sensible and fair agreements that serve long-term goals and objectives. Depending upon the specific needs...
Litigating a divorce can not only complicate what is already one of life’s most difficult situations, but can also drain your family’s financial resources. The end result is often that neither side is happy with the orders issued by a court that does not know you or your family. No court system is better positioned than you to make the tough decisions that will significantly impact your life. Mediation is a cost effective and...
Would you like an attorney at Wohl Stetler Lord-Blegen, PLLC to look over your document, or help you draft a document, but you do not want to “hire” an attorney for an endless number of hours? Consider our Divorce Consulting. Some couples choose to handle their divorce pro se (without official attorney representation).

For most people, divorce is one of life’s most stressful events. At such a difficult time, you need compassionate, attentive representation to ensure that you have all the information that you need to make reasoned, intelligent choices. You also need an advocate who can make sure that your rights are protected. In Colorado, divorces are “no fault.” The Court will divide all marital property without regard to who is more responsible for...
Family focused. Resolution oriented.
Wohl Stetler Lord-Blegen, PLLC is a Denver, Colorado based family law and mediation firm, with the skills and resources to help your family smartly navigate some of life's most difficult transitions.
By offering smart, creative, and lasting solutions, Josh, Ben, and Michal will help you effectively resolve your family’s conflicts. We believe that clients, and not the court system, should have control over the dispute resolution process. Wohl Stetler Lord-Blegen, PLLC offers what clients value most during difficult times: quality service, privacy, efficiency, and substantial savings. Rather than wasting time and money posturing for costly and emotionally destructive litigation, we offer a solution-oriented approach to families in conflict on the very first day.
There are, however, times when litigation is the best, or only option. When the courts must be involved, you can have confidence that highly skilled and experienced litigators will represent your interests vigorously and intelligently.
Divorce can be stressful and frightening. Tension runs high, and emotional reserves are often limited. At times like this, you need smart legal advice, and to know that you have a strong advocate in your corner. You deserve honest, straightforward information, and compassionate, caring service. What you do not need is a lawyer who ‘stirs the pot,’ needlessly increasing conflict with no benefit other than to the lawyer’s own bottom line. Spending $1000 on lawyer’s fees arguing over a $500 piece of property benefits no one except the lawyers.
At WSLB, we take the role of ‘Counselor at Law’ seriously. It is our job not only to represent you, but to advise you wisely as well. You want to know when to fight and when to compromise, when you are likely to succeed and when chances of success are small. We help you assess the costs and benefits of conflict, so you can make informed decisions.
We also offer you many tools and techniques for avoiding unnecessary conflict and litigation. If you prefer a ‘do it yourself’ approach, but want to make sure that you haven’t missed anything important, we can consult with you, review documents before filing, prepare you to appear in court, draft certain documents for you, or even make a one-time appearance in court with you.
If you and your spouse are committed to resolving your divorce amicably, and want a guide to the divorce process, or if you need assistance resolving post-divorce conflicts, we offer mediation. We will guide you through the many decisions that must be made, and help you reach fair resolutions whenever you get stuck. We can also draft all of the documents you will need to file in your divorce, from start to finish, or to complete a post-divorce modification. Mediation is offered as both an hourly service, and as a flat-fee package.
If you are committed to an amicable resolution, but require more assistance and advice than can be provided in mediation, we offer Collaborative Divorce. This is an inter-disciplinary, team approach to divorce, which protects your privacy and ensures that you do not wind up in court.
Whatever your needs, please contact us to schedule a consultation, to explore how we may assist you through this difficult time.
