Law Office of Michael A. Hug

For all of you reading this who are trying to figure out which way is up and trying to hire a divorce lawyer, let me give you some criteria. Bar number: The lower number the better-Mike has one of the lowest. Family law lawyers usually don't stick around long, Mike has and that is rare. Team: You are not just hiring the lawyer, you are hiring their team. Ben and Angela are simply the best. Independent or firm lawyers: Oftentimes firm lawyers have pressure to make deals and avoid court. In my case an early deal would have been disastrous. You need someone who is willing to put in the work and go to court, and that willingness in lawyers is something rarer than you would think. Conclusion: I lucked out finding Mike. My complicated divorce took 18 months and had many legal hurdles... Mike navigated them all. He was not intimidated by the large prestigious law firm my ex hired in Denver, and ensured I was treated equitable in asset division and child custody related issues. (BTW, Mike is great in child related issues, he is a must if you have related issues) There are many things I could say about Mike, his immediate grasp on situations, his strategy, etc. But you get the idea, Im a big fan of Mike and his team. He has the experience to take you through what is often a very complicated and painful time. Mike, Ben, Angela, my kids and I thank you.

I had an initial consultation with Michael Hug that I left after 14 minutes. The attorney displayed completely unprofessional behavior and attitude toward apotential client. I informed him that, while I had a legal background, I was still seeking professional legal assistance with my family issues. I also informed the appointment scheduling paralegal that I was interested in unbundled services, which was agreed upon. I also mentioned to the attorney that I was shopping around for an attorney to see who can be a good fit. Michael was rude and refused to answer my questions, which were not intended to "seek free legal help," but rather to understand the attorney's vision, experience, and approach in order to determine if he is a good fit for me. We discussedfamily issues, the resolution of which may have long-term consequences for everyone, including the kids. The attorney behaved disrespectfully and found my remark about his behavior humorous. He refused to answer simple questions like the common CO practice of equitable asset division and how much difficulty or time it takes to get temporary orders before the hearing. He told me that only he knows the tricks and that he would not reveal them... Really? I did not seek his advice on my specific situation. I didn't ask him what or how I should do it. I simply attempted to establish a channel of communication that would allow us to get to know one another. He wiggled from side to side, almost laying on the chair, with a sarcastic smile on his face. While I was telling him a very sensitive story about my family, he was giggling, rolling his eyes, and making a note on a post-it to his paralegal, who was actually nice and professional and tried not to react to the attorney's behavior. I had to leave the meeting because I couldn't stand his behavior any longer.

Michael is absolutely amazing! He goes the extra mile for his clients and gets the job done. He is very knowledgeable and if he doesn't know the answer he will find it. I have used him twice, once in a very complicated surrogacy gone wrong case. He had the other attorneys mouth hanging open, she literally said "I don't know what to say". Michael is simply amazing.
